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!

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
Kayaba, Sumitomo to pay millions for price-fixing in US
Sat, Sep 19 2015Kayaba Industry Co, which does business in the US as suspension parts maker KYB, and Sumitomo Electric Industries are facing payments in the millions to settle price-fixing cases about the components that they make. As part of the Department of Justice's ongoing crackdown of price fixing in the auto industry, KYB agreed to pay $62 million and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to set the cost of shock absorbers from the mid '90s through 2012. The company allegedly worked with co-conspirators to keep the cost of the parts high, and those components then made it into vehicles from Honda, Kawasaki, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota. "Any collusive agreement among competitors to restrict price competition undercuts our free enterprise system and violates the law," said Carter M. Stewart, US Attorney of the Southern District of Ohio, in the DoJ's announcement. Over the past few years, the DoJ has brought cases against 37 parts suppliers and 55 executives, leading to over $2.6 billion in fines. The investigations haven't always been so successful – some of the Japanese execs fled from the US to avoid prosecution. Critics allege that price fixing is simply how business is done. According to Automotive News, Sumitomo Electric Industries is also facing a $50 million settlement in a civil lawsuit that's related to price fixing of parts like wiring harnesses and heater control panels. The plaintiffs include owners and dealers that purchased vehicles with these parts. The company asserts that the violations are from before 2010, and it now has different process in place to avoid further violations. KYB Agrees to Plead Guilty and Pay $62 Million Criminal Fine for Fixing Price of Shock Absorbers Kayaba Industry Co. Ltd., dba KYB Corporation (KYB) has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $62 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix the price of shock absorbers installed in cars and motorcycles sold to U.S. consumers. According to charges filed today, KYB conspired from the mid-1990s until 2012 to fix the prices of shock absorbers sold to Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (manufacturer of Subaru vehicles), Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Company, including their subsidiaries in the United States.
Toyota increasing Yaris Hybrid production to 222,000 this year in France
Mon, Feb 24 2014More fuel economy means more factory workers and more production for Toyota's most popular model in Europe. That simple equation explains why the Japanese automaker is boosting annual production of its gas- and hybrid-powered Yaris compact vehicles at its French factory. The new number will be about 222,000, a 15 percent increase. To do that, Toyota will need to add about 500 workers to bring its total there to more than 4,000, UK's The Green Car Website says. Vive le Toyota! Toyota updated the European Yaris in the middle of 2011 and added a hybrid version later that year, the model has many fans across the pond. It helps that they hybrid is rated (using the friendlier European standards) at a whopping 81 miles per gallon, a tremendous number for a car that costs approximately $26,000. Toyota could soon have a bit more room in the small hybrid segment, since it was reported recently that Honda would discontinue European sales of its Insight and CR-Z hybrids soon. That decision was made easier because of increasing competition from Toyota, which boosted hybrid sales in Europe last year by 43 percent. In contrast, both the CR-Z and Insight experienced more than a 60-percent plunge in European sales in 2013.
