A neighbour had a Toyota Rav4 GXS up for sale for 750 quid with some tax and MOT. 128k miles.
Took a look as I quite fancied a shed for tooling around town in. It has a personalised numberplate so wasn't possible to tell its age at first. Turned out to be originally P-reg (1997?) Petrol, 2 litre engine,
3-door.
- All 4 tyres need replacing.
- It has had a prang on the nearside wing, at the front, enough to displace the headlight
- Third gear crunches no matter how careful you are changing
- Knocking sound from back turning round corners
- Two different keys - ign barrel has been replaced following breakin and the original key is still needed to open the door and for the immobiliser
- insurance group 21 (!)
Gave it a wide berth but hard to see how she can ask 750 quid for something that seems to me only fit for the crusher.
