Okay folks, I have been watching, and reading for about 2 months now, and I've finally got one! I picked up a V-6 Ltd yesterday. It is Pacific Blue (first choice was Blizzard Pearl), but this was second. The car is everything you said it is. I've really been impressed w/ it. I'm still trying to figure out how Toyota got so much room inside what looks like such a small vehicle from the outside.
My purchase story is pretty much like what I've seen from others. After getting the run around from local dealers (who didn't have a V-6 Ltd, and nothing on the radar), I figured out they were just after my deposit so I would be stuck. I found out that an acceptable car was scheduled for delivery to a dealer about 100 miles from me. (I put in zip codes for all of the major areas within 250 miles on the web site) I then sent out an e-mail and later a phone call to the dealer asking for an out the door price. I expected MSRP+, but was pleasantly surprised when they came back w/ about $1500 off sticker. I put a deposit w/ Credit Card, then it was just a waiting game. I made the deal on 4/28 (expecting delivery on 5/1) but it didn't make it in until 5/16 and I picked it up on 5/18.
I got to drive it home last night, and that was it! My wife is in it tonight (it IS her car). I understand the commercial from New Zealand now. We got it to save on gas, but I'm afraid we may use more gas b/c we will be looking for excuses to drive somewhere.
Well, too much talking, but thanks for helping me make this decision!

After 10 weeks of waiting, I finally got my V6 Limited on 5/15 and I love it! I always want to go somewhere just so I can drive it! My husband laughs about it and I've offered to let him drive but he's letting me have all the fun right now. I already have almost 200 miles on it and I just got it 4 days ago! Anyway, congrats on your new RAV!!!
