Replying to: sdc2 (Sep 22, 2008 6:16 am)  I've added body side moldings and step rails. Now, the only thing left to change would be the stupid lights. Oh, well, I should have stuck with my Highlander. I was spoiled by all the amenities it had, I guess, but decided to down-size a bit to save gas. No big deal, just an annoyance over what I was used to. It just doesn't make sense to me that Toyota would scrimp on that, it's such a small thing. Weird.

I've been looking for a used RAV4. I got them down to $21750 including doc fee (he says required in our state by law) but not taxes or registration. He listed it at $23750. It's the 2007 RAV4 Limited fully tricked out with only 14,190 miles on it. Trying to decide on this or a 2009 or 2008 v6 limited one - someone said they got theirs down to $26570 or something. Keep in mind the features below are standard but also include the extras (like bluetooth that comes with the JBL speakers). It also has a clean carfax and autocheck record. Doesn't have NAVI is about it. He even said it has towing package parts. THere's no major cosmetic defects or rust either. Here's this deal: Exterior Aerodynamic multi-reflector halogen headlamps w/auto-off Black roof rails w/cross bars Chrome grille Color-keyed bumpers Color-keyed door handles Color-keyed hard shell spare tire cover Color-keyed heated foldable pwr mirrors Color-keyed rear spoiler w/stop lamp FOG LIGHTS High Solar Energy-Absorbing glass Intermittent rear wiper LED rear lamps Rear privacy glass Side-opening rear door w/hold-open feature Washer-linked variable intermittent windshield wipers Interior (10) cup/bottle holders (3) 12V auxiliary pwr outlets 60/40 split fabric-trimmed rear bench w/slide/recline function, 1-touch fold-flat lever, height-adjustable headrest, center armrest AM/FM stereo w/6-disc in-dash CD changer-inc: MP3/WMA capability, aux input jack, (6) speakers Amber-illuminated Optitron instrument cluster-inc: speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, LCD odometer w/(2) tripmeters Cargo area storage pockets in wheel housing w/(2) cupholders Cruise control w/brake deceleration feature Digital clock Direct tire pressure monitor system Door panel storage pockets, bottle holders Dual glove boxes w/upper box one-push open/close Dual visor vanity mirrors w/sliding extensions, roof-mounted vanity light Dual-zone automatic air conditioning w/air filtration, information display, micro dust/pollen removal capability Engine Immobilizer Fabric-trimmed 8-way pwr driver/4-way manual passenger seats-inc: pwr driver lumbar support, height adjustment, seatback pockets Fender-mounted mast antenna Illuminated entry-inc: key illumination, interior light, front map light Interior footwell lighting Leather-wrapped shift knob w/metallic insert, gated shifter Leather-wrapped tilt/telescoping steering wheel w/audio controls Multi-function center console-inc: (2) illuminated cupholders, storage box, cell phone storage pocket Outside temp gauge Pwr door locks Pwr windows w/driver-side auto up/down & jam protection Rear deck storage-inc: water-repellant foldable deck board Rear window defogger w/timer Remote hood/fuel filler door releases Remote keyless entry Tonneau cover w/cargo net Mechanical 17" x 7.0 6-spoke aluminum wheels 3.5L DOHC SFI 24-valve dual VVT-i V6 engine 5-speed ECT automatic transmission Anti-lock brake system (ABS) w/brake assist Double-wishbone rear suspension w/coil springs Downhill assist control (DAC) Electric pwr rack & pinion steering Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) Front/rear stabilizer bars Full-size spare tire Hill start assist control (HAC) Independent Macpherson strut front suspension On-demand 4-wheel drive P225/65R17 all-season tires Pwr vented front/rear solid disc brakes Traction control (TRAC) Vehicle stability control (VSC) Safety 3-point seat belts for all seating positions w/adjustable front seatbelt anchors Anti-lock brake system (ABS) w/brake assist Child protector rear door locks Child restraint system (ISOFIX CRS) top tether anchors for all rear seating positions Collapsible steering column Driver/front passenger advanced airbag system Driver/front passenger front seat-mounted side airbags Drivers emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelt Front & 2nd row roll-sensing side curtain airbags Front crumple zone Passengers automatic locking retractor (ALR) & emergency locking retractor (ELR) seatbelts Side impact door beams Traction control (TRAC) Vehicle stability control (VSC) Brakes Brake ABS System: 4-Wheel Brake Type: Pwr Disc -

Where can I find all the technical service bulletins for free? I'm about to purchase an 07 RAV4 Limited edition and I want to check all the issues that are associated with it. I've looked at LemonLaws.Info but it doesn't seem to say a whole lot. Can I just bring it in to a dealer within the first 36,000 miles and ask that all these things be fixed?

Replying to: tidester (Nov 10, 2008 9:12 pm) Do you think that used RAV4 deal is a good one?

Replying to: tidester (Nov 11, 2008 10:43 am) Bonus #1 - this dealership was giving 120% of KBB fair value minus any extra repairs. he said our tires needed replacing and we had a scratched bumper. that brought our value down to sub-$9000 on our 40K miles 2004 civic ex. but the 120% gave us a trade in value of 10127. this is higher than anything I can find on ebay completed sales so we're happy. Bonus #2 - I applied for the FirstAgain loan at 6.44% instead of dealer financing. but when I told the dealer this he said his local bank might be willing to match. he called them up and they said yes after a credit check. the bonus is that when we got home i got an email from firstagain saying we were denied the loan but that was ok because dealer got great rate. Bonus #3 - dealer gave us $300 off of $700 ResistAll carpet, leather, and paint treatment. $400 addon seems high but knowing our carelessness and kids tendencies to spill juices, throw up, drop food this will be great for us. plus it protects the paint and they'll fix for free if it stains. after checking what others have paid and the fact i hate waxing cars this was a good deal to us. Bonus #4 - we couldn't pick up the car until 5 days later. but with my work distance this means i'll get to use up the gas in my trade in and get a full tank once i trade it in. I"m so excited. I just feel a bit odd owning a gold colored tricked up leather SUV when it's so not me to spend money on leather, nor choose gold color. I'd rather keep the money. But this deal was too good.

| My husband purchased winter tires for my 2007 Rav 4 which do not have the RFID tire sensor in the valve. How do I disable the sensor so I don't have the indicator light on all winter. | |
| I brought my 2007 RAV4 in for routine maintenance (oil change, tires rotated etc) and since have had this same problem. The engine check light, 4WD light and the VSC light stay on constantly. My dealer and service person both say it is the gas cap. The vehicle has less than 24,000 miles on it. So what gives? | |
