I am listing this vehicle for my sister.....and you will see her description below. Please ask any and all questions in a timely manner so I have time to relay them to her and get an answer back to you. I can attest that this RAV has been pampered. She has taken care of it and has spared no expense to keep it in fantastic condition. She has the title clear and free in hand and will be available immediately. She does drive it occasionally so the mileage may be slightly higher than listed but minimally. Bid with confidence.

I am selling my 2008 RAV 4, V6, AWD, in an effort to simplify my life. I have 2 cars and truly only need one. This is a GREAT vehicle with just under 82K miles. I had a clear protecting film installed over the nose and mirrors to protect it from damage from road debris (this does not photo well as it is nearly invisible). I also opted to use synthetic oil. While the upfront cost is a bit more on oil changes, I've found it to be a benefit in my vehicles as oil changes are significantly further apart. This car isn't due for an oil change for another 8K miles. The tires are brand new.

There are a few minor places in the finish of the car I tried to take photos of them to the best of my ability. As you can see from the pictures, they are minimal.

The interior of the vehicle is nearly spotless. The leather is in excellent condition. I installed OEM all weather mats and also have the original carpeted floor mats.

I live in a fairly hilly area and my commute is primarily on the Interstate. I average between 21 and 22 mpg. On longer trips I've averaged as much as 27 mpg.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.

Toyota recalling 20k 2014 and 2015 cars and CUVs with 3.5L engines

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Toyota has announced a recall of roughly 20,000 vehicles covering the 2014 Avalon, Camry, Highlander (pictured) and Sienna, as well as the 2015 Lexus RX luxury crossover. The affected vehicles are all powered the 2GR-FE engine, which in layman's terms, is Toyota's well-regarded 3.5-liter V6.
According to Toyota's statement, a parts supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment" correctly, meaning fuel could leak. Leaking fuel, of course, increases the chance of an engine fire. That said, no fires, crashes or injuries have been reported due to the issue.
Owners will be notified to report to dealers, where techs will check the fuel delivery pipe and fit a replacement part as necessary.
