Toyota Rav4 was in great shape, brand new tires, brand new brakes, no body damage. Looks brand new!

As advertised the car was as I expected . It’s a Toyota ,for the money it’s a good value . I am happy with what I bought.

Toyota quality has fallen dramatically. I have driven a 1997 Toyota Tercel for many years before buying this vehicle. I chose it base on my experience with the Tercel which was still running fine when I traded it in, but it finally started to show rust. The 2009 RAV4, being 12 years newer is already showing signs of body rust along the bottom edge. Also, I didnt learn about an ongoing issue with the torque converter in the 4 cylinder version of this vehicle line until after I bought it and notice odd rumbling noise at around 40 mph. After doing research it seems this is caused by a poorly designed transmission+torque converter. The transmission fluid is dark with particles in it. So far, it is still going, but this has caused me to lose confidence in it. I chose an older RAV4 because they have true 4 wheel drive and because they come with a full size spare. Both of these features are important if you plan drive out in the sticks. I like the design, just wish the quality was still there.

The car is a very good value . Only need to work on oil consumption issues

Fun to drive and fast due to the V6. A/C needs to be stronger as it blows cool but not cold air. The car is a good value when it's compared to other 2010 RAV4s. Honda CRV would be a comparable SUV.
