I purchased my 2007 Toyota RAV4 used in 2015 from a local Toyota dealer. At the time, my current vehicle was breaking down and I needed to get something quickly for my job out in the country side. The purchase was a little over-budget as I did get a service plan. But so far, it’s been reliable after some repairs and hanging in there for its age.

I bought our Rav4 as a family commuter vehicle. Basically we are a family of four and use it to commute to and from work, school, shopping, and any/all other activities. We selected the Rav4 in part because it is a popular model, the Toyota brand is trusted, and we believed it would likely retain value in the years ahead such that we could sell it for a decent price once we wanted to get a newer car. The car offers plenty of room for our family, including our dog. It has lots of trunk space, and tie-down bars on the roof to store items if we are going on a longer trip.
