Used Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for Sale in Freehold, NJ

Of the eight cars that I have owned in my life, seven have been Toyotas (I once bought a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero on a whim). There's a reason for this--since I started buying cars in 1985, Toyota can never seem to be topped for the perfect combination of reliability, safety, and affordability. This time, however, when my 2010 Corolla (with over 176,000 miles) needed some expensive repairs, I decided to move on to my next car, but looked at some other brands just for a change of pace. I test drove other cars in other dealerships but, somehow, didn't feel satisfied. So, I came back to DCH Toyota and found that I was back in my comfort zone. Aside from the car itself, though, I have to admit that I felt much more comfortable at this dealership too. I have to credit Meir, my salesman, with this. Unlike the salesmen in the other dealerships, he seemed to care about my satisfaction with my new car as much as I did! I felt that I was treated professionally and fairly. I'm a very satisfied customer (by the way, I bought a Camry).

I am not a big fan of the exterior styling, but I love the inside. The seats are some of the most comfortable I've experienced. The layout inside is very well designed. The interior noise is a little higher than I had hoped, but not intolerable. I wanted a mid sized SUV that felt more solid than the Honda HRV that I traded that also gets in the upper 30's for gas mileage. The Rav feels very solid on the road. It drives great. The mileage I'm getting so far falls well short of expectation. With a combination of in town and highway driving, I got just over 34 mpg on my first full tank. In town, I'm a reasonable, calm driver. On the highway, I'm driving a steady 75 mph. I did not expect to get 40 mpg. My expectation was 36-37. I'm not sure if mileage improves as the car breaks in?

Initiated a request for pricing on a 2018 Prius Prime. Received an email response from Brittany Martin within minutes, appointment was set up and was told to meet with Brendon Bisignano. Came into the dealership and Steve Taylor was quick to help me. He ended up being the sales consultant I worked with to identify a Prius Prime that would meet my needs. He took the time to show me two models (Plus and Premium) and then helped me to determine price and financing. He worked with me in helping bring up the value of my trade-in and to work with the dealer's finance team to find the best loan with the most attractive terms and budget that I needed to maintain. all-in-all, a very positive experience. I hope to go back to Galaxy when it's time to buy another Prius as well as when my wife is in needed of a replacement vehicle to an existing lease which will be ending as of 4/28/19. When that happens, I'll be sure to ask for Steve. Thanks. John Owendoff

One of the best off over 50 new cars I have owned. Plenty of power and very economical. Safety features are outstanding. I would highly recommend this car if I was buying a used car.

I bought a new 2017 Sportage from Bridgewater Kia 18 months ago. About every 200 miles or so while driving the automatic transmission would slip into neutral. The transmission would re-engage by taking my foot off the gas. Needless to say this was frightening and somewhat unnerving, especially when you were pulling into the fast lane on a highway doing 70 mph. They couldn't diagnose the problem even after they hooked me up with a "flight recorder" which monitored my engine conditions when this happened although the data captured by this device did show the engine racing when the transmission slipped into neutral. Kia authorized the installation of a new transmission. Bridgewate Kia let me have use of a courtesy car for the duration of the work. I went and picked up the car and as I was pulling out of the dealer lot I noticed two fractures in the windshield running parallel to one another from the dashboard up that looked like stress fractures that occurred when they put the new transmission in. I immediately drove back and with no questions asked they returned the courtesy car to me while they had a new windshield installed. I picked it up a few days later and within 24 hours the same problem occurred with the trannie popping into neutral. About a week later it happened again and I took it back. Bob, the Service Manager came out and took the car for a ride. Needless to say it didn't happen as it never does in those situations. When he got back to the lot he went and retrieved a Tablet from his office and after searching the Kia dealer website saw that just two days prior a new software update specifically for the transmission was available. He loaded it and I have drive 1600 miles now without a problem I want to thank Bob and Bryant, my Service Advisor for all of their prompt and courteous attention that led to this issue being resolved. They did everything that you could expect from a car dealership and I want to thank them. Hopefully they won't see me again for this issue.

I bought it when it was a year outdated. But still overall performance is very satisfying. It’s a very smart car.I can rely on it.

I am a Connecticut resident who had to travel to Eatontown, NJ to finally purchase a Toyota vehicle. I can only say that CT Toyota dealerships can learn a lot about customer service from Galaxy Toyota. After intense research I decided the Tacoma TRD Pro was the pick-up truck for me, my first, as well as the first ever Toyota I would purchase. The first dealership I visited was Stamford (CT) Toyota. I walked into the showroom and told the first salesperson I met that I wanted to purchase a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro. The response I received was amazing. He actually laughed at me and told me if I ordered one today I be able to get one in 6 months. For real? I shouted back, so everyone in the showroom could hear, that this is exactly why I am 55 years old and have NEVER owned a Toyota!! No effort to search for the truck for me even though I was ready to purchase the vehicle that day. I have purchased many vehicles over the years and each and every time I ventured into a Toyota dealership in CT (Stamford, Westport, Milford) it has been a horrible experience. I went home and started my own search and located the '17 Tacoma TRD Pro at Galaxy Toyota. From my first phone call, to 5 days later when I picked up my new Tacoma, my experience at Galaxy was stellar. The entire transaction was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. The salesperson I dealt with, Nicole Arango, was amazing. She gave me her cell # and answered all of my questions promptly. My experience on the day I picked up my truck went smoothly with no glitches or surprises. Finance Director Hyung Yoo was professional and friendly. No hard sales pitches. The TRD Pro is amazing. One of the best, if not THE best, vehicles I have ever owned. I would never hesitate to recommend Galaxy Toyota to anyone and If I decide to purchase another Toyota I will take the ride to Eatontown....well worth the trip!! By the way, I couldn't resist...on the way home back to CT, I swung by Stamford Toyota, pulled up in front of the showroom and beeped the horn!! I got the truck I wanted in 5 days from Galaxy Toyota!

The RAV4 is a very nice car to drive both highway and city. Great gas mileage around town and highway is nearly the same. Like the information available on the navigation screen. It has a very smooth running and quiet engine. Very nice compact SUV.

I went to the car lot just looking around checking out the prices. I was introduced to Nick Donnoli and we started talking about what I was looking for. He was very knowledgeable and made buying my new car a great and easy experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a new car.

We are very happy with the RAV4 Hybrid. The safety features, comfort level and infotainment system are top notch. The ride is smooth and secure.

Will come back again and again! Both cars that I've purchased there have been everything I've wanted and more. I've always gotten a great deal and have been more than satisfied. He is so easy to worth with and has always gone above and beyond to make it effortless in buying a car.

This is a limited; it has it all: Moon roof, heated seats, back up & 360 cameras, power everything, good mileage, guts, looks, and very safe.

Dominick, Steve and Jevon were amazing! I picked up my new XC40 and discovered that a feature I thought I was getting was not in the car. I called up Dominick and he immediately promised me he would take care of this. Within an hour he called me back and had another car located that not only had everything I wanted in it but more. I went back to the dealership the next day and had another new car ready for me that was even better than the first. Dominick is the consummate professional! A sales person couldn't care more about your happiness! I never like paper work but Steve made the whole process painless (twice). Jevon knows the technical side of the car like the back of his hand and was able to explain (twice) everything in a way that was easy to absorb. Absolutely, the ONLY place to go for your new car!

The car meets all my needs and also has plenty of leg room. This vechicle is a hybrid which saves a lot of money on gas. The gas mileage is fantastic!

My experience at Galaxy Toyota was very relaxing and Adam Iorlano and his team did a great job in helping me purchase my car. If you are planning on getting a car please see Adam Iorlano he will take good care of you. Galaxy Toyota has a returning customer for years to come. I look forward in going back soon and in the future to get my next car. 😊👍🚗

Car looks and runs great. Money saver with the hybrid and very quick. The except is the horrible Scout GPS. No maps, nothing but voice, if you can get it to work at all. No Apple Play, so you’re basically stuck with aftermarket GPS like Waze... and I like Waze. Toyota put Apple Play in the 2019.., no help for the 2018

We were in desperate need of a car with a very limited budget due to an automobile accident. Showed up at Gateway Toyota where we dealt with Mike Sweeney. Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. (If I could post a rating above 5 stars, I would.) He listened to our story, assessed our requirements with us, and then readily took up the challenge of helping us to find a vehicle that met our needs. He stayed late, well beyond closing time of the dealership, since all car dealerships would have been closed the next day, and went above and beyond to help us drive off the lot with a new vehicle tonight. Thank you very much, Mike!!! All of your efforts are greatly appreciated!!!

Vehicle has been perfect for me. I am satisfied with the performance & comfort. Averaged 34.08 MPG over the 2 years. Safety systems all work correctly. Reliability has been great. Not a high tech guy, but everything works fine. Some competitors have better interiors, but it is OK. Has plenty of room & cargo space. Headlights could be a little stronger & liftgate could raise a little higher. Brakes are good. Gas to electric & back is seamless. With Toyota Care, I have had zero maintenance costs. Have signed up for Toyota Care Plus at a cost of $329 which is a no-brainer for another 2 years as it also covers a new air filter & cabin air filter at 30,000 miles.

went in for simple oil change at 23K miles I got there early they took me early I had received an e-mail prior to my appointment that "Staci Kravchak" would be my personal contact and she was right there when I arrived as pleasant as could be. Offered coffee and bagels and said it would be about half an hour and she was right! And my truck was washed, something I was looking forward to after the snow storm this last weekend! Very painless

This vehicle has met my vehicles needs are far as comfort, stability and needs. This vehicle is great on gas and a full tank last me one week and I do drive a lot of miles. Very reliable vehicle for the whole entire family.

Was very happy with the service. This dealership was very professional and helpful. Highly recommend. Have sent family and friends as well. Would go back. I had a very positive experience!

I bougth a car form this place,and the sales parson is helpful,and the finance directer Mr Larry Sherman is nice guy. I will recommend to my family,friend,and coworkers too.

Decide your car options. Find location of exact vehicle. Obtain internet quotes from various dealers. Remember that modern invoice prices are inflated and that true invoice prices for Toyotas are 10-12% below MSRP. Modern invoice's are only 7-8% below MSRP. How can that be when overhead is usually 10% per car? Here's some data: (MSRP - Invoice) / MSRP Ever since 1995 when internet boom, invoice prices have been inflated as invoice to MSRP spread has decreased. Toyota Camry 1993 - 16.0% 1995 - 13.3% 1998 - 12.5% 2002 - 11.0% 2008 - 10.8% 2013 - 9.0% Toyota Corolla 1993 - 14.0% 1995 - 12.3% 1998 - 11.4% 2003 - 9.5% 2013 - 7.3% Toyota 4Runner 1993 - 15.5% 1996 - 13.2% 1998 - 12.5% 2003 - 10.7% 2008 - 9.7% 2013 - 8.0% End of yr is best time. Modern dealerships make money from quotas based on total sales volume for whole yr. Dealers get $1200-1800 "bonus" per car sold for entire year (retroactively) if dealers achieve a secret car sales volume. Dealers more willing to negotiate at end of yr because "losing money" on 1 sale may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by hitting quota. Dayton was willing to lower their initial 5% below MSRP offer once I showed competitive quotes (9% below MSRP), as well as an understanding of their modern invoice pricing. Bring your checkbook, proof of insurance, and stand your ground, then they know you're serious. You have to be willing to buy otherwise dealers will call your bluff. After that, Dayton was cordial in closing the deal. In the end, I payed 11.3% below current MSRP, so I achieved my goal. All it took was 1-1/2 hours to close deal. Mike was very patient and comforting. Brian was very knowledgeable.

It was the exact vehicle I needed for my work needs and family leisure. The features inside the vehicle are amazing. Even though I couldn’t tap into them all without the help of kids

Great 30,000 miles maintenance service experience. Quickly checked my car and gave valuable advice to improve my a/c. Explained everything clearly and asked my opinion first. Good job!

Really enjoy driving this car. Good visibility, ride is smooth, electronics are terrific. Drivers seat back not adjustable, so long term driving not as comfortable as my Prius was. Ave 30 mpg hybrid

I was extremely impressed with every single person I met at this dealership. Hats off to professional management because that is where it all begins and ends!

Quality fit, finish and performance . Great on gas. Fun to drive around town or on the open road. Great safety features. Comfort is awesome.

If was fast service didn't wait long for my 2015 Toyota Highlander those guy do tremendously good time efficient job of taking care of so many vehicles in for repair and serve..while we wait and a nice relax ¿¿¿ Launch with coffee and snacks.. Also did the shuttle service that will take you to work from home if you don't feel like waiting. Usually I take the shuttle home but I decided to wait within 40 minutes vehicle was serviced and ready to go, then had a chance to look at some of the newer models Toyota and Madzas on the market

Love the way I was treated like family. The lady that helped me, Nurmia went out of her way personally and professionally to make sure I understood all of your services and that I was informed about every single thing. She also made time to seem to care about me personally. She went as far as offering a loaner car so that I would not miss a conference call since my car needed to stay all afternoon. She really really went above and beyond to make sure I got the royal carpet treatment. It was incredible that Javier Urmeneta remembered me from the last time I was there and really feels like a friend to me now. Lacey at your reception desk as well remembered me and it meant more than words can say that all three of them wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied with the services for my car. I will always trust Crystal Toyota because of the quality of people there. We are still new to New Jersey and coming from North Carolina I did not know what to expect but I have to say the south has nothing over the people of your great state of New Jersey especially at Crystal Toyota. Life can be so stressful but not at Crystal Toyota! We hope to keep our Toyota Venza as long as possible because we love our car and you all keep it humming like a drum but if God forbid something happened and we had to shop for a new car I guarantee we would come to you all!

I have 17,000 miles on my 2017 Limited Hybrid. Car has been problem-free and gets an average of 32.8 mpg in warmer weather, mid to high 20s in cold weather. The hybrid system adds power in addition to saving gas, so acceleration is there when you need it. The brakes are good, but not as strong as other hybrids I've driven. Car drives very smoothy, but there is no feeling of attachment to the experience - very appliance like and boring. Visibility leaves a lot to be desired with terrible rear visibility and forward visibility hampered by thick windshield pillars that are far forward, interfering with the view of other cars and pedestrians at right angles at intersections. If it weren't for the rear camera and parking sensors, backing up would be a real adventure, hence the dents you see on the backs of so many RAV4s (it doesn't help the rear bumper is useless). All the safety tech works well. The pedestrian detection already warned me of a person about to walk behind me as I was about to reverse. Supposedly it has auto-braking, but Toyota doesn't make it clear. It may or may not help brake if needed. It will beep at you though!!! The first few months of owning, the driver's seat was ok... but has gotten more and more uncomfortable. An hours drive and I am in pain. I limp when getting out of the car. I keep a gel cushion now. I am not a huge or heavy person at all. The seat has a weird mix of support that is too soft in the middle and too hard and narrow at the hips. Maybe only designed for tiny people. Also, even though it is an 8-way power seat, it acts more like a 6-way as you raise it. The passenger side has no height control and is a bit low. The telescoping steering wheel barely telescopes... still too far away for long legged drivers. Cargo area is good, but the hump from the battery is annoying (the 2019 will be flat). The split rear seat is designed for Japan, not USA. The large part should be behind the passenger side!!!! The power tailgate is very slow and sometimes doesn't work the first try. I can open and close a tailgate 5 times in the amount of time it takes for this thing to work. And turning it off, it's still very hard to open. The tech is good, but could be better. Voice command is a joke. "She" can't understand almost anything you say, unlike Siri. The steering wheel controls for calling work well... but you can't scroll through phone numbers using them! You have to still press your finger on a tiny number on the screen... makes no sense. There is only two choices for NAV screen brightness; super bright or black at night... it won't let you dim to medium at night. Wipers work well, with many speed choices. Radio sound is good, but took some time to get used to the brassy sound and you need to keep most of the sound in the rear speakers. Only one window switch is lit at night, the door lock and other switches are a guessing game. There are no puddle lamps in the door bottoms. I can understand this cost-cutting on the cheapest trim, but not on the Limited or Premium, with sticker price pushing $40,000. Car rides well.... but the 18 inch wheels make you feel the small bumps, especially if you add a few more psi to the tires to get better economy. Would I buy this car again? Not sure! Maybe not. Not with these seats and not for what I paid!!!
