OK so I wanted to start a new thread about my buying experience since have dont see one directly related to this topic.
From the research that I have done it looks like I should be able to get the 6k rebate in Colorado for "Alternative Fuel Vehicles" Here is a link to that document: http://www.colorado.gov/cms/forms/dor-tax/Income67.pdf
And yes, I realize the RAV4 EV is not listed in that document, but that list serves as sample data, and doesnt cover all applicable vehicles. The RAV4 EV DEFINITELY qualifies according the the document.
So to start off, I need to find a dealer willing to work with me since I am out of state. I have a few questions.
Is 38K doable on this car? Thats would be 10K Toyota rebate for socal dealers along with some help on the MSRP from the dealer. I know some guy said he bought his in the 37k range, so Im wondering if I should be aiming even lower, but I dont want to be unreasonable either.
I have been referred to one dealer already from another thread. (Dianne Whitmore at Carson Toyota) but I would like to get a little more information before I get in contact with her.
At 38K my deal would look like this:
38,000
-7500 (Federal)
-6000 (State)
______________
Total: 24,500 (++)
A pretty amazing price.
Also, I should add that I am fine with the fact that I would have to ship this car to a dealer in CA if something major goes wrong with the EV related components. I trust that Toyota and Tesla have put together a relatively reliable EV with the RAV4 EV.
