The price is ridiculous imo. $6500 can buy a much newer and better car. Although, RAVs do retain their value for some reason. Apart from that, they handle like a balloon full of porridge, the seats push on your inner thighs and you can't have a conversation in the car due to so much road noise.

I'd admit it is biased but a person with intelligence can make good use of it.

Indeed.
The RAV4 feels like a disgusting Diahatsu Terrios with a slightly bigger body and engine.

I have one too, the DI 3l with 5 speed
Edit: for content the issue is they need the correct fluid at the right interval. If the wrong stuff has been used that is very bad news. Fairly expensive but not a place to skimp http://www.cvt.co.nz/Warning.htm

And putting the incorrect fluid in the transmission is the cars fault how!Its clearly stated under the bonnet on a sticker to change at 100,000kms with the designated code for the oil.You'll find a huge swathe of cars now have to use a certain type of fluid for the auto or dsg or whatever type of transmission or you'll screw it.There are some shady mechanics around though that im sure mess it up by "mistake".

I've got a RAV4 with 160km which I'd sell for 4k (if I was selling it), so even the retaining value theory doesn't explain why it's $6500.Also everything you said about them is true.
They are useful and reliable but should be avoided like the plague unless you have a real use for it.My reaons are snow, silt and pot holes.

Hehe and to think people are basing their car-buying on recommendations they read here. Bit scary.
