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!
