Hi,

Up for sale is a 2005 Toyota Rav4 "L" package with several upgrades. The vehicle has been extremely reliable and has served us very well, and for which we're sorry to see go after 8 years. Due to a new edition to our family, we're forced to look for a larger vehicle.  I have priced this several thousand dollars less than what others go for locally to make this a quick sale. This car is in great condition and continues to operate as one would expect.  Title is clear and ready to sign over to the new owner.  Local sale preferred.  Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping or meeting locally to complete sale.  Checks will require clearing before vehicle is turned over.

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 higher and better view of the road. It allows us to maneuver in tight areas 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 our other car could not drive in.

Quick features are: 4 cylinder, Daytime Driving Lights, All Wheel Drive, Power Window, Power Locks, Remote Key Fob, Power Sliding Sunroof, functional Air Conditioning, factory upgraded wheel with larger tires, additional body moulding (part of the "L" package), grey cloth seat in great condition with no tears, 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 pivot forward or recline backward. Lastly these two rear seats can be removed completely out of the vehicle to open up a cavernous space to haul really large items. Plenty of hooks and tie downs in the rear cargo area to securely carry various sized parcels.

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 a forum dedicated to the RAV4 that this model head unit 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 OEM side steps and Toyota OEM mud guards has also been installed.

I drive the RAV4 daily to work (round trip is ~60 miles) which explains the higher mileage (160,000 miles). It's mostly a highway commute; 60% highway and I average 25 MPG on REGULAR gas with the air conditioning running. All four tires were replaced earlier this year so they have plenty of tread life and a tire alignment was completed at the same 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 car is sold as is 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 as this is the most reliable vehicle we have owned. A reputation well earned by Toyota.

 Thanks for looking!

How many Toyotas are potentially affected by seat fabric problem?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

When we reported yesterday on Toyota's stop-sale order of certain 2013 and 2014 models due to an issue with the fabrics on models with heated seats not conforming to flammability regulations, one of our many questions was how many vehicles were affected? More importantly, how many of those cars have already found homes?
Kelley Blue Book has the troubling statistics. Every 2013 and 2014 Avalon features heated seats. 6.2-percent of 2013 and 4.5-percent of 2014 Camry sedans, meanwhile, were sold with heated seats. That doesn't seem as bad as 100-percent of the larger Avalon, until you consider the Camry's huge volume - the 5.6-percent average still accounts for a lot of cars. Sienna minivans are heavily affected as well, with a total of 37-percent of 2013s and 46-percent of 2014s fitted with butt warmers. The stop-sale only affects 7-percent of 2014 Corolla models, but like the Camry, that number is rather misleading due to the sheer volume of cars Toyota moves. You can see the entire breakdown of percentages by clicking on the inset image.
According to Karl Brauer, a senior analyst for KBB, this problem comes at the worst possible time. "Given that much of the US is currently in the grips of a record cold snap, there's sure to be high demand for models with seat heaters," Brauer notes. The stop-sale order is a good first step, but it doesn't do anything to inform consumers who currently own the affected models and may, in these frosty temperatures, want to use their seat heaters. "Should owners of those vehicles stop using the seat heaters?" Brauer asked.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

Toyota FCV puts hydrogen fuel cell twist on ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Fri, Aug 22 2014

You've probably seen your fair share of Ice Bucket Challenge videos online this week, which are meant to raise money to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often called "Lou Gehrig's Disease." Hopefully, you've seen ours. We've watched a lot of these videos, but haven't seen one that makes an alt-fuel point quite like a new video from Toyota. Julie Hamp, the CCO of Toyota North America, lost a sister-in-law to ALS last year, so for her the cause is personal. Instead of just dumping icy-cold water on her head, Hamp uses water from the FCV fuel cell vehicle parked next to her. Because, of course, a hydrogen fuel cell car emits nothing but water vapor. Toyota didn't run a lot of hydrogen through the car to collect water, it just got enough to top off the ice bucket. Using the water emissions from a hydrogen vehicle in a creative way is not a new trick. Two years ago, the California Fuel Cell Partnership made the point that you can drink the emissions (just like Mercedes-Benz did earlier this year), but admitted that "fuel cells produce about the same amount of water as gasoline vehicle – about 1/3 cup for a full day of driving." Still, for a good cause, we'll accept the mix of tap water and "emissions." Check out the video below, if you haven't had enough already. This content is hosted by a third party.
