Small world, no? Which dealership did you find to be better? I've heard varied reports about Northtown...but nothing seems consistent! Since I will be purchasing in about a year from now, I am planning to check out Fuccillo's on Grand Island. Supposedly, his new building venture is going to be for Toyotas. Everyone I know who has purchased, or gone for service there, has been VERY impressed! Replies to this message: lbmcc (Jul 20, 2004 5:47 am)
#1474 of 2123 Perfered Dealer by blackandblue Jul 20, 2004 (3:08 am)
I prefer Northtown, and I get all my service there (that I don't do myself). The deal for my wife's RAV4 was not going well at Northtown so we went to Culligan and she got what she wanted with a good deal. My daughter went to Northtown and showed them what my wife payed and they did a little better. I also have heard nothing but good things about Fuccillo's we just could not wait a year.

Replying to: oskwi (Jul 17, 2004 10:25 am)   We bought from Culligan. Northtown couldn't match their price and Culligan gave us more for our trade. (See my other posts) Both dealerships were very professional and straight-forward about everything. I know nothing about Fucillo other than that I am sick of his HUGE etc commercials...   We've had the RAV since late May so no snow driving yet. Overall my wife is extremely happy with the car.

Thanks for the info. I was also considering the Mazda3 wagon, but after reading the plethora of A/C problems, I think I'll scracth that off the list and concentrate on the RAV4 and Matrix.   I agree lbmcc, Fuccillo's ad campaigns are getting a little too intense for my taste. He must spend a fortune between the radio and tv advertising!   Did the two of you, or anyone else for that matter, drive/research any other vehicles before the RAV4 purchase?   Thanks for your responses!

I'm also from the Buffalo area and looking for a new Rav4. Anyone know when the 2005's will be here?

Replying to: dsds88 (Jun 30, 2001 12:28 pm) You can make it from LA to Vegas in your RAV4. I did, but whould NOT recommend it. When I drove up hill, my RAV4 was straining. You have no passing power. I was only able to do about 60 m.p.h going up hill. However, the new 2004s have a 2.4L engine with 160HP which is a bit stronger.
#1480 of 2123 Oil Change by khrn Jul 26, 2004 (6:49 am)
I have recently purchased a Rav-4 and have noticed they recommend oil changes at 5,000 miles. I have always done it at 3,000 miles. I'm interested in what everyone else is doing and your recommendations. Thanks for your help.

#1481 of 2123 double "Best Pick" by steve_ HOST Jul 26, 2004 (6:57 am)
Toyota SUV gets top safety pick (CNN Money)   Keep looking for the side air bag optioned ones, Diegan.   Khrn, I'd go with the factory recommendation for oil change intervals. There's no scientific basis for the old 3,000 mile rule of thumb.   Steve, Host

Replying to: khrn (Jul 26, 2004 6:49 am) In the olden days I also changed every 3,000 miles. Then I bought a 2000 VW and the manual had a 10,000 mile change interval!!! So I changed every 5k. We bought a 2002 RAV4 and the manual has a 7,500 interval. We change at 5k. Now, my 2004 RAV4 has the 5k interval. I change at 4k.
