That sounds like a great deal if in good condition! Be sure to follow my checklist. You’re approaching 100k miles, where a lot of major things need maintenance. If you’d like, email me the details including the VIN and I’ll help you sort through it. Miguelsgarage@outlook.com
great review! thank you! i have found 2011 rav4 with 250k mileaage....the guy is asking 10k! mechanically it looks okay. what do you think of it? I appreciate your insight....thank you man!
How many miles do they usually run? I got a 2011 with 130k miles but I think and hope not.. I feel like the transmission it’s going out. It shakes when I stop and when I go around 30mph I feel it shaking 😢
Shaking could be a number of things! Maybe it's your transmission or motor mounts, maybe it needs a tune up... Without personally taking a look at it, these issues can be hard to diagnose. Bring it to a local mechanic you trust. 130K miles on a RAV4 that has been properly maintained is nothing!
and why? Dang, just did huge road trip from San Diego CA to Bisbee AZ thru torrential storm front chasing entire way from going thru taxing elevations thru I8 E&W and passed stretches of highways with cars in ditches (nearing Tuscon) and pull-overs in sea of approx 30 to 50 cars and trucks and she got thru it all * I got a different vehicle so trip was in a friend's RAV4 2012 2.4L and would swap mine in a heartbeat
They also had a 2.5 liter starting in 2009 I think.
06 had issues too-- best go 07 through 12 ONLY... THE ARE THE BEST--- bullet proof, simple- will run forever.. NOT overloaded with tech CRAP..
I really love this 3rd generstion, particularly the 2010-2012
I'm looking to get one (totaled crv). Obviously htf 2012. Found a 2009. Would you still recommend?
@@LazySusan. 2009 is still good. Most of the excessive oil consumption issues are Years 2006-2008 with the 4 cylinder engine.
I just bought a low mileage 2010
My 2012 V6 has 300,000 miles, runs great!
WOW! How many of those miles did you put?
I am looking to buy a V6 but i am afraid of the water pump failures. Have you had any issues with it while you’ve had it?
@@topo520Yeah the water pump went out on my V6 and it destroyed the engine 😅
@@joewhitlow5799 mine is still running great with no issues! I raced a Toyota Supra GR from a dig and I beat it twice 😂 super sleeper of a truck!
@@topo520 keep an eye on that water pump. Also, changing the spark plugs is an expensive job too.
Excellent video with valuable infos.
Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
We love our RAV4, great video!
I’m about to buy a 07 limited V6 4wd do you recommend it to me? Thanks
I have a 2012 v6 rav4 it’s awesome
Thank you for this breakdown! I am thinking of purchasing one!
Miguel do you recommend the 2010 v6 sport appearance package without the spare tire in the back. One is available in my area with 92k miles for 6,800.

Be sure and point your side mirrors out from body.
This car has huge blind spots due to wide b, c and d pillars.
Otherwise my 2010 is pretty awesome.
Awesome video. Thanks man 👍

That’s too much. I got a 2011 for $8400 123,000 miles
Very helpful!

If it's your transmission, do a drain in fill(not a flush). Do that 2-3 times and it should make it good as new.
Did you ever find out what was wrong with it? Mine also shakes around 30 Mph
Love the way u explain this woww ❤
why everyone talks about the patrol version when diesel is way more interesting in that suv segment?
Solid review, but I really tuned out with all the lofty corporate buzzphrasing
Thanks for the feedback! I'll take that into consideration!
Absolutely agreed. He doesn't need to sell us the car, just give us the info we're looking for.
Yes this has been a classic style year after year, but the newer models are not in a class of itself.
1:50 Is that guy big or is that car small? 😂
Are you living on Mars?
😂awful... Woooowwwwww...

There’s a 2011 RAV4 2.5L going for $9000 with 84,000 miles. Would it be possible to get the vin checked out? 2T3BF4DV3BW082762
