Hi,

Up for sale is a 2005 Toyota Rav4 "L" package with several upgrades.  The vehicle has been extremely reliable, which we're sorry to see go.  Due to a new edition to our family, we're forced to look for a larger SUV. 

 

Being a smaller SUV that the RAV4 is, it handles and rides more similar to a car than a full size SUV but with the benefit of having a great view of the road.  It allows us to maneuver in tight spaces but yet have enough cargo space to bring large packages home.  The 4 wheel drive transmission has gotten us through many tough snow storms that other cars could not drive in.

 

Quick features are: 4 cylinder, Daytime Driving Lights, All Wheel Drive, Power Window, Power Locks, Remote Key Fob, functional Air Conditioning, factory upgraded wheel with larger tires, additional body moulding (part of the "L" package), grey cloth seat with no tears that I can find, roof rack, cruise control, removable rear cargo cover and front fog/running lights.  The rear seats have features not even found on luxury vehicles.  The two rear seats have some range of motion to slide forward or backward and to tilt forward or recline.  Lastly these two rear seats can be removed completely out of the vehicle to open up a cavernous space to haul large items.  The transmission on this vehicle is a 5 speed manual.  It allows for great control of the engine, such as controlling decent and keeping the engine in either a fuel efficient mode or in the power band for pulling a trailer.

 

I've upgraded the sound system.  I replaced the stock head unit with a Toyota factory OEM head unit intended for the Scion line.  I learned from the RAV4 forum that this model is made by Pioneer and has great acoustic qualities.  A major benefit of staying with a Toyota OEM head unit is the ability to retain the steering wheel control functions.  I've also upgraded the speakers with Kappa and Infinity line.  Lastly, the audio system has a Rockford Fosgate amplifier.  I'm more than pleased with how this came out ($1000+ investment).

 

A trailer hitch with necessary electrical wiring, Toyota brand side steps and Toyota brand mud guards has also been installed. 

 

I drive the RAV4 daily to work (round trip is ~60 miles) and that explains the high mileage.  It's mostly a highway commute.  I drive 60-70% highway and I average 25 MPG on regular gas.  All four tires were replaced earlier this year so they have plenty of tread life and a tire alignment was completed at that time.  I change the engine oil at an interval outlined by Toyota.  I go further by using Mobil1 Synthetic and staying with Toyota oil filter.  No cracks on any of the glass and no leaks into the interior or fluid leaks from the RAV4. 

 

The brake pads may require replacing.  I can include a set (one axle) of Toyota OEM brake pads as duplicate was sent in error when I originally replaced them.

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.  The car is sold as is as I'm not in the automotive industry but I'm confident the car will continue to serve the new owner well.  I still commute daily and never hesitate to drive with my newborn. 

 

Thanks for looking!
