Hello there... our 97 Rav4 AWD (after 190,000 kms & engine light always going on after reset (replaced exhaust system, 02 sensor,spark plug, loud noise coming from timing belt water pump cover which both replaced 2 years ago, checked gas cap sealed tight & gas guage acting up...so is the price of gas) it's time to bid farewell. I was looking at the ff cars:
1) 02 Honda Accord EX-L V4 with 70,000 loaded but no traction control asking &17k (sporty ride with luxury) 2) 02 Camry LE 4 cyl with 133,000 asking $15k (big car for a 4cyl) 3) 02 Camry XLE 4cyl with 150,000 & towing pkg asking $16k 4) 05 Corolla CE Cpkg with 36,000 (former Thrifty's Car Rental) asking $16k (pretty basic) Those are all dealer prices (I'm in N. Falls, Canada btw) & it will be replacing my wife's Rav4. Which car will be better on the long run in terms of maintanance & reliabilty (we test drove all 4). I like Toyota, but the Accord is nice too. I currently drive a 90 celica gt 5spd 5sfe with 90,000 original km that my father bought in 92 (talk about reliability). Need help pls. Thank You- posted
