Hey Scotty! I live about 2 hours away, and come through that area on my way to the Land Between the Lakes... I'm even familiar with where you live.... how freaked out would you be if I just dropped in one day lol... I'd like to show you my old 94 dodge dakota.

$1,000 for a 2010 RAV4? That buyer commuted highway robbery. That would go for almost 10 times that amount up here in NYC. One of the best deals I’ve ever heard of.
I just paid 2500 for an 04 Civic coupe w 140K and thought I got a steal. I'm a chump!
@@kvltizt Wouldn't call it a steal. But if it's in good condition, it definitely is a decent deal. Ive seen those go for twice that much. But not more these days.
I got my wifes 2006 for $500 at 126k miles.
@@davecrupel2817 I had to pay the manual transmission tax. I'm happy w it. It needs tires and motor/trans mounts and a throw out bearing. Runs great.
oh, and the clear coat is shot because honda.
Toyota really needs to sell a Kilmer Package. Nothing but 4 tires, motor and steering wheel. And freezing cold AC.
😂😂😂😂
And a bumper sticker that says " My other ride is a 94 Celica"
Can't forget the stick shift
Spare tire too

A 2010 Toyota vehicle with some body damage for ONLY $1,000? I'll take it any day of the week and twice on Sundays!
Edit: with today's car's prices new and used, I would call this one a gift from heaven at that price!
Those body damage are at least 2-3k
700 used Rav4's will be sold today because of this video and rightfully so.
My parents bought this as my sisters first vehicle, and she put 300,000 on it with 0 problems. They're awesome!
can confirm, my first car is an 09 with 170k, all I needed so far is the alternator and suspension to keep her going smooth. Outside of basic maintenance, I don't see it failing anytime soon
My 2010 Rav4 Sport just passed 300,000 miles.
Best car I ever bought. $14K 8 years ago. It remains in amazing shape. No rust and I'm in Michigan.
My 2010 RAV4 has almost a quarter million miles and has lived in Maine. Outside of normal maintenance, I've only had to deal with a hole in the exhaust (rust and probably something I hit) and a thermostat that went bad since the coolant was 9 years old when I got it. She's a champ.
I’m up in my Maine too and a red 2008 RAV4 just went through the dealer auction last week with 422,000 miles and it sold for $2,400

Thermostats don't take too long to die. That's normal, even on a toyota. So I'd call that normal (:
My 2010 was gold. She had 500K and ran like new. No oil leaks. No oil burning. I lost her in a fire. :-(
I'd still be driving her today.
How?
Wow, that's amazing
Well damn it, I got 235k on my 2011 and it chugs oil. Like 1.5 quarts every thousand miles. Every oil change I'm using over double the oil. Doesn't seem healthy at all.. but it's been doing it and getting only gradually worse for like 70k miles now.
@@markbtw79874 or 6 cylinder?
My step grandpa sold me his 2009 RAV4 with get this 41,000 because he really only ever used it for bringing deer to the waystation And other stuff like that so I got that for $5000 yesterday
Bashed in side, funky paint == theft deterrent! :P) $1,000 mechanically healthy RAV4 with about 100K miles -- excellent find.
Stick shifts also work pretty good as theft deterrent. Millennials mostly don't know how to drive them.
@@Whisperhollow You do know the mellennial gen started in 1982. We learned on a manual.
WOW! what a find! I'd definitely buy that for a grand. Other than the looks, there's nothing wrong with it.
The crooks in Chicago would sell it for $5k
Can’t see the scratches when your inside, get in when it’s dark
@@oreally8605 the same in Miami
@@oreally8605 , it would go for 4k where I live and that damage..they go forever.
Well think about TPMS, they could easily have a rotating generator instead of a battery since the wheels are constantly going around.

Reminds me of the Jeremy Clarkson segment in which he tried to kill a Hilux but the pick up truck still managed to survive
@David Moore Yep, the most incredibly abusive things I've seen a vehicle go through and still be "operable" up until the unsurvivable. It was a shame to see that RH drive beauty annihilated, but not sure a Tacoma, Tundra or any of the "big 3" would have passed even round 1, and for sure not beyond. And I've been a pretty loyal F-150 guy for over 40 years.
@@keithmitchell4498 some guy got stuck rock crawling up a canyon. The hilux went up the canyon in reverse 😂
It's called Top Gear
I could be wrong but that Rav looks more like it was sideswiped than T-boned. Still, it's a great deal at a grand.
yeah that car would still be a steal for 5000$
@@Freedomind901: That it would!
The V 6 RAV from those years were Toyota’s fastest vehicle in their fleet. Loved mine. Great vehicle.
Doubt it cuz they had 5.7 liter v8 in trucks
@@thebeerobot7399 the trucks were heavy
@@thebeerobot7399 Yeah the trucks were heavy. The RAV4 v6s are well known for just being stupidly fast for an suv. 6.3 0-60 average and I've seen them go faster with no mods.
Wished I could have found the V6 model when I was shopping for one!!!;+(
I just love your videos! I am a senior young woman who was ripped off a few years ago by a car dealer and I said never again! I found you on RUclips and I'm learning so much from you. Thank you !
I love my 2010 RAV4. It’s got 145600 miles and runs great! Had to replace the alternator 12,000 miles ago and the upper radiator hose about 15,000 miles ago, but other than that I’ve never had to do anything but scheduled maintenance!
I have a 2007 Rav4 V6. I bought it in 2012 with 60k miles on it. It now sits at 325,000 miles, no major issues, just routine maintenance and normal wear and tear with use.
WOOOOOOW!!!🤯
How much Gas mileage you are getting? I use same car (175k on it) and am just getting 16 mpg on average in mixed city and highway roads. Is it too poor?
I did notice a decline in mpg over the years. Currently getting about 18 mpg city and 23 hwy @karthikchary4230
I got my V6 2012 Rav4 with 44,000 miles. Definitley a gem and Im glad I got it.
My wife just bought a 2018 rav 4 xle. We love that thing!
Toyota definitely knows how to make their vehicles reliable. I guess I need to find me a RAV4.
and strong
If you can find a low-miles 1997-9 model and you don't mind a slow car, that car is a good one.
Had it so long (>20 years) I finally got sick of it and bought a Prius Prime.
In the past I had a 08 but with the nice trim package paid 5k for it similar mileage to this one. The thing ran great. Great in the snow and plenty of room inside and if you get a v6 model they go pretty dam good for a rav lol just a tad under 300hp if memory serves me.
avoid the 2006-2009 models. design flaw with those engines and were shared among Corollas, their Scion, among other vehicles of that production period.
@@gregtucker7228 unless you have the oil consumption recall done. They replaced the pistons ,rings, rods, etc. Good to go after that no more oil consumption issues
my first car was a 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix, it had a buick engine! my dad taught me how to replace the valve cover gaskets because they were leaky! I had that car for almost 10 years!!!!
thank you for your awesome videos!!! very good information!!! lots of love to you Scotty Kilmer!!!
From watching all your videos about Toyotas on how reliable they are. Last year my dads girlfriend gave me a 2005 Toyota rav 4 L in mint condition and well maintenance and well cared for orginal owner too and I love my Toyota. Drives like new and low mileage very happy Scotty. I took your advice on Toyotas and I love my suv keep making videos on Toyota :)
I just bought this same vehicle 2011 Rav4 V6 with 290,000 miles. Bought it for $5,000 . Runs and drives perfectly. I feel like this car could easily see 500,000+ miles with regular maintenance.
High miles but a low price definitely what kind of shape is it in? The water pump can definitely have issues in that engine, as well as the VVT oil cooler line, I encourage you to replace that part with a metal not rubber line made by Dorman. It is known to fail and all your oil will leak out, happened to my parents it will only cost you three hundred bucks
Just bout mine for .. Well... A lot. 160k miles. Worth every penny.

Does that make you a little mad that he does that or is it just me? I can barely ride with my mom because she floors it all the time. I even refuse to work on her car.
@@championbeam4018 he’s having fun lol.
You should see all the skid marks from the acceleration of farts.
I got 2010 rav4. 120k miles. Last year I was thinking trade in n get a new car. Now thanks to this video I going to keep it as long as I can. Every time when I am craving for new car I watch your videos I immediate clam down. Thanks Scott!!
Even with that accident he can easily sell it for $6000
lets not go overboard for a totaled car
he could easily get 7 or 8 for it
Easy
Nah
@@tonym3598 Probably 15k
I have a 2011 V6 Limited RAV4. I have 129,000 miles on it. It is the best car I have ever had. All the options make it great car to drive, especially the heated seats and the back-up camera. The V6 is a 3.5 Liter 269 Horsepower engine and accelerates like a jet. I will keep it until it dies.
Going to get a 2011 RAV4 I’m so excited thank you for this video!
My mom just bought the same year! And she loves it! Especially how the truck door opens
What is a " truck door?"
wow, great find, that would be a perfect hunting/fishing/camping suv
Love the spare wheel at the tail gait.😊
I bought my son a 2011 Rav4 five years ago with 34 thousand miles on it. Runs perfectly. Had sensor light come on from the spare tire. All good now ! The best 12,000 I ever spent.
When I bought my used RAV4 ,had a similar problem . I pump all the 4 wheels to the same pressure , the issue still persisted . It only light only cleared after , I filled the spare tire with air to the right pressure.
Right on the money
I will probably buy one soon, any specific things the mechanic should check?
My son still has it with about 150 miles on it .Still great vehicle. I heard earlier years had issues with piston ring wear. BTW this one is front wheel drive not all wheel drive. Hope this helps.
Sorry make that 150 thousand miles.
With RAV4s, avoid the 2.4L. Look for 2009 or later with the 2.5L, it's an excellent engine, lasts a long time. Even Toyota goofs sometimes and the 2.4L is one of them.
I agree. My mom had one for years and drove it personally for 260k. Changed brakes once or twice along with plugs and did have the oil useage issue but Toyota fixed it under recall! Absolute beast of a vehicle! Hands down coming for early 2000s full size gm vibes.
I put aftermarket TPMS sensors on my 2009 Acura RL for $150. Works with computer just fine. No need to buy OEM
which brand?
When the tires gets replaced, then they can have the TPMS sensors replaced. Denso sells them directly online or through retailers. Denso is a Toyota OE provider
I have fixed a few cars where I bought used sheet metal parts that were painted the same color as my car. It was great!
Rav 4s are extremely in high demand! This person got a freaking steal!
That's why these Toyota's cost more than 10,000$+ . Guaranteed.
After you fix the cosmetics for $1-2k
@@ludmilaklimkina264 I'm sure they sell higher. Sold as is.
@@alexlopez5800 in middle east and asia . Here these keep their value forever
I had a 2011 RAV4 and it had 150,000 before it was t boned. We had it since new, and it drove like it did from 30k miles. I’m convinced most Toyota’s get totaled in accident before mechanical issues. We got $10,000 a few years ago for it from insurance
I agree with you Scotty you only have to see the episode of top gear with the Toyota hilux pickup truck and what they put it through to know that!
Great video. Very encouraging to me who bought a used Rav4 with a couple dings in it.
I have a 2006 Toyota RAV4. I replaced all the 5 TPMS sensor over the years from discount tire for $55 each. if that helps. Working fine for 5 years. One thing to let you guys know even the spare tire has TPMS sensor. Sometimes TPMS light is on because of the spare tire.
My jaw dropped when he said $1,000 😅😅😅
Great buy. My first car cost dad twice as much in late 90s money. And while the body was fine, it was a Ford with many more miles. Of course, I was a teenager, so, I totaled it. And today, I do body-work as a hobby. I think knocking out dents and restoring paint is great fun.
I got a first Gen Rav4 and it's so amazing!
I purchased a really clean 2010 Rav4 Sport in early 2019. I absolutely love that car, and with the V6 engine, it is a rocket. I had Falken Wildpeak tires installed and those tires coupled with the four wheel drive make it and excellent combination on poorly maintained dirt roads. I only have one complaint which is that part of the sunroof mechanism rattles when driving on bumpy roads. I will be driving that car for a long time!
Had to retire my 86 hilux with 460k frame rust killed it. Sold the 22r to a Guatemala dude for 600$
The 22r motor was the longest lasting motor they ever made

Great info regarding toyota Rava 4. :)
In this crazy car market that is an insane deal, i would take that all day long, if i decided i really liked the rav4 i might repair the damage. I see garbage going for higher prices than this. i own a 2008 corolla with almost 260000 miles, the paint clear coat is immaculate.
screw the cosmetics, 115K on the drive-train, there is a lot of life left in this thing
hey scotty i sure do agree with you about toyota rav 4 because here in southern california i bought mine since 2010 its my daily driver and i have 75k miles still running like it should be and i also have a 2015 tacoma .
I have an 2007 V6 Limited. Built like a tank! I waited until the tires needed replacing and had all the tps batteries changed for an additional $15 per tire.
Don’t forget the tire in the rear compartment!
I had an 09 and loved it. Especially the AWD. A family member took ownership when I upgraded. Immediately the water pump went out. The struts died. The paint started chipping. Not the Rav4's fault. Aggressive driving, hitting every pothole, and......apparently, washing it with dish soap. 🤬
Got a 2011 FWD Rav4 with 57,000 miles. Paid $9500 for it. Pricey, but I knew the one owner, and know everything that has ever happened/been done to it. We both won, I think.
When you’ve been burned sometimes you pay for the peace of mind.
Wow how is your car working out for you? Planning on buying a 2011 with 120k miles for $11k.. little pricy but peace of mind
Pomona, CA tapping in Mr. Scotty, Cheers!
2010 RAV4 V6 4WD Limited. 106k miles so far. Fully loaded! Only problem is it's one of those transmissions with the factory defect that causes whining at 20-30mph from the final drive gear (no matter what gear speed you are in, you will hear it under load)
Fresh out of church and NOT turning on the NFL . Instead I'm watching *"Scotty"* 👍 😳 🇺🇸
Wow! Now that's a great deal there. It's not even broken in yet. I would have given twice as much for it.
My 2010 V6 3.5 4x4 Rav is simply breathtaking. Theres nothing quite like it as it has the appearance package upgrade and chrome as well. One in a million. The torque is incredible on the V6 and luckily I have the 4x4 to reduce steering torque from the power of this thing.
I've been sold on rav4's for years because they are versatile and reliable no frills fun. Oh what a feeling.
She could of posted it up for sale at $3.5k and have a line of people at her door.
This is my first car. it is my absolute pride and joy. It is very useful for hobbies, camping , work commute , etc. Hopefully when it dies out i’ll be able to just put in a new engine 😂 no major problems thus far except for getting the fuel oxygen sensors replaced
When I put new tires on my car at Costco. The TPM sensors were $45 each. Since they were pulling the tires they didn't charge to install them. They can calibrate them.
Back in 2004 my uncle paid $23,000 for his Tundra brand new, fast forward to now it has 453,955 miles, original 4.7 V8 and transmission , so yes Toyota's are indestructible.
I’ll take it he’ll be buying another Toyota when his trading in next 5-10 years
Wow
Your uncle know whats up tundra is battle tested vs USA cannons,b used in syria and afghanistan. Us forces will just blow them up them beard boys will just roll it over back up and ready to go🤣 hey sound crazy watch them old news 🤣 us made truck like ford silverado gm dodge they get blown out on the movie 1 pice of Tire left rolling the rest is on fire to pieces🤣🤣

He loves Japanese cars!
I'm glad I saw this video. My husband got my salvaged '06 Rav4 at Copart . It's mostly fixed up now and only a couple issues with misfirings, so I hope eventually I'll get to save enough cash to fix that part up or at least a "new" refurbished engine eventually. My dream truck is way out of financial reach but maybe in 5-10 years I'll get to get a nice used one.
Change coils and spark plugs , and you' re set.
@@miguelrayos5776 Thank you so much! Yes husband or Firestone or my private mechanic often do that for my car after reading the codes and they check the coils and spark plugs. But once it's change then it's always better .
How about sometimes the oil leaks into my coils? What does that mean ?
The other part is I had most of the valves replaced and even changed the oil that I put in to Pennzoil because Pennzoil seems to last the longest since my engine burns up oil so fast ...even after a 4 to 6 hour car ride and then I have to refill the oil again. I know that's an issue for the year and make of my car

Not if it's from the Northeast.
Me tooooooo
My first car was a green... Opel Ascona 1.2 1979.
30000 km when my mom bought it for me, I was 19. This car took me to every corner of France. I was 27 when I sold it. 238000 km. Still running incredibly well. It was indestructible. I miss it. Or I miss my 20s. :-)
I got a 04 Matrix XR for free! Just had to go pick it up. It’s got 200,000 miles and is very rusty from spending its life on salty New York roads. But it still purrs along. And pretty fun little hatchback with a 5 speed manual.
That car got t- boned by what a shopping cart. Give me a break Scotty.🤣😂🤣😂
Lol yeah. I think he meant side swiped 😆
My guess is it was a low speed parking lot collision... someone backing out while they were driving by.

I have a 2011 Rav4 Sport. Runs like a champ. Same issue with the tire pressure sensor but no other issues :)
I just bought a 2008 RAV4 as my first car, it's in amazing condition and I love it already
My 2006 is still a good one for me - Love my Rav4 !!
My dad had a square body dodge hit a rock head on twisted the frame destroyed the truck but the motor never quit running could never be fixed but it still started like it was new
I drive one of these, V6 4WD. Got mine with extremely minor cosmetic damage. Runs like a dream. Really fun to drive. 170k miles and not a single issue. Cannot recommend them enough.
NYE auto one of the best dealers in upstate NY surprised that it ended up down there with u Scotty greetings from Utica NY
got the very same exact car, still runs like a champ, same color everything, the tire alerts are fairly common, sometimes you just have to fill and drive, possibly your spare as well. Solid is low pressure, flashing is communication error. But quite common for the TPS to light up on mine, not all of these suffer the paint issues. Fingers crossed the paint is still good on mine, solid vehicle , gas mileage is not awesome, you will get a solid 20 mpg, its rated at 22. Better on the highway of course
Good for another 200k miles 😊
Could go to junk yard and get some body parts and have it painted? Or find red ones if you’re lucky 🍀
I have a 2008 rav4 with 150,000 miles, entire life in Michigan and it hardly has any surface rust. Still runs well, no issues, it's a champ
Hi Scotty, I really enjoyed all your videos , especially seeing how you get them animals to laugh in the background 😄 😀 it's so funny 😄 😆
Hey Scotty. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I have 2013 Honda odyssey . Once the car is warmed up when I put it in reverse and hold the breaks down the car stalls. Before it starts there’s weird rattling/hiccuping sound that comes from under the hood. Any idea what it could be? I’ve changed all the air filters and got my transmission oil change already.
Hey Scotty when we do sensors, we just push the bead in with a machine and change it, no need to rebalance! Also we put in rebuildable ones so if the stem goes bad it costs less.
TPMS just saved me buying a new 235/45-R17 tire. I had just driven 100 miles without any issue, and when I wanted to drive again 2 hours later, the TPMS went off and said the pressure was only 9 psi in the rear right tire, which I couldn't see when walking to the car. The culprit was a 3 inch long 1/4" screw with broken off head. I got the tire plugged from outside with one of the illegal shoestring plugs and drove 200 miles home, and thnks to TPMS, I could see that the pressure followed the other rear tire.
I bought 4 sensors Lexus on eBay , for 48 and big o tires installed the sensors for free.
I miss scotty in texas! Good afternoon scotty
Appreciate the "no" vote on fixing the TPMS on our 2006 Toyota. The light's been on since we bought it 3 years ago. Checking the pressure manually - ya, I think we can handle that!

My 04 Rav still runs like a dream!
I have a 2003 Rav4L with 120,000 miles on it. I have been the only owner and it has never been hit. I have taken great care of it and A couple of years ago I had to replace the computer. Car is always parked in a garage, so very little rust. Everyone wants to buy it but I won't sell. Drives like a dream. The 2003 model was the last model with a short wheel base which means there is very little sliding in the snow. Everything works on it. I plan to be driving it for the next 10 years or so.
My Rav4 v6 2008 has already completed 312000 km....
Awesome SUV, with lots of power...
I gotta find some spoiled kid who doesn't want their scratched Lexus😂🤣😂

I just missed a Lexus with some scratches. Technically, I didn't but didn't have the dough
I found that if you bring your own sensors most shops in my eria will only charge about 70 ish to change the tire sensors.

America’s tire shop will install for free when u buy new tires and sensor .
I've got a RAV4 2010 ONLY HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. V6 REALLY GREAT SUV.
scottys knowledge of cars 🚗 is off the charts! nobody is hiding nothing from his 5,000 scan tool!
I've checked salvage auctions and sales yards before just to see what they have and sometimes you can get something good. Most of them look like they've been hit by a locomotive but then there's a 2000 Crown Vic with just under 130,000 miles that the windshield was hit by a rock. The insurance company wrote it off because it cost more to replace that glass than the car was worth.
So long as there’s no rust a Crown Vic is a LOT of car for the money. I just bought a ‘97, last year of the “Aero” body Crown Vics. It rides like a Lincoln! But also has one of the most dependable engines Ford ever built in it. And if something does go wrong, they’re extremely easy to fix - and cheap too! Mine had an alternator fail during a 2500 mile road trip. I fixed it in the hotel parking lot with a $10 set of WalMart wrenches! You cannot go wrong with a Crown Vic, especially the civilian models that haven’t been idled for thousands of hours.
@@thetman0068 The Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car is about the only American made car that can last as long as a Toyota. People will buy a Crown Vic cop car, drop a reman engine and transmission in them and drive them another 300,000 miles.
I like these little catching Toyota phrases. Only 115 miles on it. Funny, when I go to junk yard I see rows and rows of Toyotas. Just as many as other makes. Some people can maintain anything. Others can't keep pet rock alive. Most don't keep vehicle long enough to change oil. Which means any vehicle will last through lease or warranty expires.
I’m about to buy my 1st Rav4. A 2012 4 cylinder 2.5L 4wd 4 speed with only 4K miles on it. About $20k. I’m excited!!
Automatic may i ask?
Bought a 2012 Rav4 2.5L base model with 3rd row with zero miles back in the days for $21k. Had a few discounts. Still have it til this very day after 71k miles.it's a complete slouch, but built to outlast! Zero problems so far! My wife loves it!!!
I had one of these,gave it to a daughter. The tire pressure light could be any of the tires low including the spare, my spare was low and triggered the light.
Yeah, my toyotas all get triggered in the fall with big temperature changes, first frost makes them activate.
I've owned a Toyota Avensis here in England for a few good, reliable years before eventually trading it in for a C220 Merc. We also own a Fortuna at our 2nd home in Thailand, which is a Thai/Australian SUV based on a Hilux and has been good. Tomorrow, I pick up a Toyota Alphard MPV due to an unexpected 3rd child as the Merc is not roomy in the back seats.
Fortunas are nice. We have some friends with one in india. Great car
The Alphard won't win any beauty contests..
I have a 2007 Rav4 it runs great only the clear coat is coming off also great in the snow with 4wd its my second one i owned
Love this car so much I just bought a 2nd. One of the best all-purpose vehicles Toyota has ever made since the day they started
