Hi All,
New member. Current vehicle is a 1994 Oldsmobile Delta 88 w/ the 3800 series GM V6. It's got 167,000+ miles on it, leaks about every fluid short of brake and power steering fluid in one form or another, and the trunk leaks bad enough I've had to throw out the trunk carpet and padding. The leak has even gotten bad enough to soak the floorpan in the rear passenger area.
Anyone else besides everyone I know think I need a new car?
lol
So I was about to test drive an '06 CRV when I heard about the redesigned RAV4. Test drove both and the decision was obvious - buy a new RAV4!!!
So on 1/15/06 I went RAV shopping.
In the end I signed on an '06 Limited 4x4 in Nautical Metallic Blue w/ the Ash Grey leather interior.
On the sales slip are these vehicle codes:
FE - Federal Emissions
EJ - JBL upgraded stereo
GY - Side/Head airbags
LA - Leather package
HD - Heated seats included in LA
SR - Moonroof (I guess SunRoof really huh?
)
C4 - ??
V4 - ??
Anyone know what the C4 and V4 codes are? The vehicle was also supposed to have the Remote Start installed as well as wheel locks...
I need to know what those codes are because after we settled on the price, which was based on vehicles that were in stock at other dealerships, they are coming at me with additional charges over what I negotiated. I was lead to believe that while there are no guarantees, it would be no issue to obtain one of the two that were available at the time for me.
Now after our final negotiations, and much hand wringing, they got hold of the 4x4 Limited in the Nautical Blue that I wanted.
Now though, they are trying to hit me for $639 because according to them, the vehicles we looked at didn't actually exist and that no Leather interior w/ heated seat Limiteds in that color exist. The extra $ is claimed to stem from having to obtain & install the Leather and Remote Starter packages.
I have a binding contract with them signed by myself and them and now this? I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because they can say they'll special order it and it will arrive in 6-12 weeks, or I can have this one now. I want it now!! Got a road trip planned from here in Boston down to FLA in March and no way am I banking on it arriving and being ready for pick by then.
Trying to get everything settled before going to the dealer today. Need to know what those two undefined codes represent so I can negotiate from a solid footing.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance.
