Finally replace our '11 Limited v6...
And no doubt another Rav4, hybrid this time, will be in the driveway hopefully soon.
Looked used, but prices are quite close to new- loved the 21 XSE but at only about 3k used less than a new one, the choice was pretty clear to bite the bullet and go new.
The problem here in Wisconsin is inventory- hard to find something you're willing to pay 39k for unless you want a very dark one, one with that non-descript gray metal color or white or silver, both okay, , but with unwanted add ons like emblems or exhaust tips vs. weather packages and door guards for city living.
Then we came across a loaded XLE Premium that basically matches or exceeds the XSE...
-XLE Premium Grade Weather Package
-10.5-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia and 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio
-Body Side Moldings
-Door Edge Guards
-Door Sill Protectors
-Mudguards
-All-Weather Liner Package
-Roof Rack Cross Bars
I believe that with these options, we're talking about a pretty well setup XSE trim without the serious packages offered in the XSE level.
Basically the same except for the sportier black on silver trim and suspension difference and so forth.
Am I wrong?
XLE:
Base MSRP * $36,125.00
Factory Installed Packages & Accessories $2,485.00
Port Installed Packages & Accessories $1,378.00
Delivery Processing and Handling $1,350.00
so 41,350ish, then dealer discount and haggle to get it to about 39,500. Pretty much the same price for the XSE we liked with door guards, but have to wait 2-4 weeks for if they can find a dealer to swap with or wait for the next allotment.
So now we're thisssss close to the premium.
Anything I'm missing in learning XLE-Prm vs XSE?
Are they really THAT different?
We're approaching retirement so convenience and comfort and easy rides on bumpy city streets and 4-5 hour highway trips are key.
And we're in need of doing it like super quickly (ergo waiting a few weeks vs. getting it tomorrow consideration)
Any reason why/why not we shouldn't pull the trigger on the Premium as outfitted?
Or to wait/not wait on an XSE?
thanks!
