Hi and thanks for stopping by our, "No Reserve", auction for this, 1-owner, clean Carfax history, gas saving, 1998 Toyota RAV4 SUV. She has always been a Florida vehicle. Thoroughly inspected, serviced and is now ready to go! According to the Carfax report below, she is $880 above retail book value! She has been dealer serviced for a good portion of her life as evidenced in the history report. When Toyota designers were putting the Rav4 together on paper, they listened to what people wanted. This is what they came up with, a vehicle that combined the advantages of a sport-utility -- great visibility, sizable cargo capacity, with the manageable size and drivability of a car. They have succeeded! As you can see in the many detailed photos taken, the "White" exterior is real clean, some minor touch ups. She shines like the Florida sun. The "Blue" interior is in super shape for a 98' vehicle. No rips and the headliner looks really good also. I was impressed how nice it was inside. The tires, riding on 16" wheels are in good shape. The economical, gas saving, 2.0L, inline, 4-cylinder engine feels solid, runs smooth and is pretty peppy for a small engine as evidenced when I personally drove her. The 4-speed automatic transmission shifts smooth never hard shifting. Features include, folding rear seats, cassette player, automatic transmission, rear door child locks, tilt steering, power mirrors, locks, windows, interior fuel release, 12V outlets, tachometer, rear wiper, rear defogger, roof rack, front air bags, cruise control in good working order, spare tire, 1-owner, clean Carfax and more. The air conditioning is ice cold on this one! This Rav4 can get you from here to there for much less money than other vehicles! Bottom line, she runs great, she's clean, economical and dependable. Please take a look. All of our vehicles are free from any and all liens. You will receive a clean title. We also use our detailed pictures as a physical description so look at them all. Pre-sale inspections are welcomed and encouraged. Read our "terms and conditions" below. Please do not assume anything.
