Used Toyota RAV4 for Sale in San Francisco, CA

We bought our RAV4 from a friend after we had a car accident. Immediately, we noticed that the cockpit was very roomy and that the transmission shifts very smoothly. With a six-cylinder EFI engine, it accelerates quickly. It also comes with a six-CD changer and a decent factory stereo system. Fast forward a few years, and now, we get to see the true value of the car, after it has some heavy miles and usage. The pros of the RAV4 Sport, even years later, is that it still gets relatively good fuel mileage for a six cylinder and still has ample pick up. The body has held up well, even after a couple of mishaps. The cons of the older RAV4 Sport is that when it shows its age, bad things happen. We later found out that there were many recalls on this vehicle and have to have it taken in to the dealership every few months, despite its age. We also found that the rear main seal is giving out, which costs approx. $3K to replace an $8 part. We've also had to replace the shocks, struts and multiple sensors along the way. But, in its defense, most vehicles with normal "wear & tear" will need replacement parts after about ten years. Overall, if you keep this vehicle well maintained (within reason), it will continue to serve you very well. I would suggest it to others.

I very much enjoy the Toyota RAV 4 I purchased. Even though it is a used car, it drives like a dream. It is extremely responsive to my steering. Although its age precludes any new fancy gismos, its reliability more than makes up for that. I love the size of the car in particular! It has a large back area (where seats could be added) and is a great car for moving. I can personally attest to this, as I just moved from one apartment to another, and all of my things fit in the back. At the same time, the vehicle is compact enough that I am easily able to park it and pass others on narrow roads, even though I am a slightly nervous new driver. The large open space in the back also serves as an excellent getaway. I share a studio apartment with a very loud roommate. When I need to make a private call or just get away from the noise for a while, I simply hop in the back of my car and camp out in the parking lot! The back also has a compartment hidden under the floor where I can keep a blanket and a stash of snacks when I need to escape for a while. The spare tire is kept on the back of the car, so it takes up no space in the holding compartments. To sum up, lots of space, handles beautifully, and I expect it to last me for years to come. Love it!
