Used 2008 Toyota RAV4 for Sale

My Rav4 has been in my family since 2008 and still looks as good as new. The car itself has almost 150,000 miles on it and has had no major mechanical repairs to the engine or drive train. The interior still looks very good, the only damage is a few cracks in the seat leather. The car itself has a large trunk and the back seat folds down to allow it to have the same capacity as most other large SUV's. One of the best features is the hidden compartment underneath the trunk carpet. There's a small trap door that opens up and has space for gear such as windshield washer fluid or a blanket or can be used as a space to store a few extra groceries bags when your car is packed. The only downside to the vehicle is that replacement parts are expensive. After a minor accident a side panel had to be replaced and it cost almost double what a similar Ford panel would've cost. Also, Toyota dealerships often charge high prices for work and I'd recommend taking it to a smaller repair shop instead of the dealer.

I enjoy the power the engine has to get around in traffic. It feels peppy and can handle any kind of terrain I've taken it on thus far. I appreciate the fact that the seats all fold down to make it more versatile for hauling larger items. The dependability of this vehicle has to be commented on. I have not experienced any type of mechanical breakdown even though I am driving a high mileage vehicle now. I also love being able to open the sunroof on nice days. With that being said, the lack of comfort on trips is a huge negative for me. The seats themselves are very uncomfortable for extended trips. Also trying to fit a third person in the back seat is near impossible given the location of the seat belts. Every car I have owned prior to this RAV4 has given way more comfort for trips. Also a big negative to me is how loud the interior of the car is on trips from road noise. I have trouble carrying on conversations while driving. I sometimes have to turn up the radio quite loud just to hear the music on the radio.

I absolutely loved my Toyota Rav4. From the very beginning, it was a reliable car that was good looking, comfortable and totally reliable. I felt confident driving it, and I knew that Toyota was a trusted brand, so I felt safe in my car and was confident in the build.
