I think the seller is being quite patient actually. He has a buy now, and people are making offers in the Q&A.

If you want it you pay it, if you don't, you keep looking !

Im missing something here Hails. The seller has a price they feel the car is worth. So either pay that price or move on to another car IMO -Lifes too short to stress the small stuff

The question is because I have no idea if it is worth what he is asking :-)

Then check similar auctions for similar vehicles in similar condition with similar K's being sold by dealers and you will have a ball park figure, but at the end of the day the vendor is asking what the vendor is asking, if you want it you pay what is being asked or you move on !

Its immaculate, he will easily get his price. Very hard to find one at those kms now, and the cambelt is due both mileage and age wise. Nothing wrong with these apart from being thirsty on the gas, and they are no sports car handling wise. But a handy wee vehicle which remain popular.

he has said he is a dealer so the consumer guarantees act plays a part as to the true profit he will make. you could buy privatly with risk or buy from a dealer with some guarantees, think it is do dear walk away

I know this dealer and he's a good guy. Sometimes people just push your buttons wrong. Reality is that this is a low km immaculate example. To the above poster saying 3K --- that gets you a 200K Rav with the paint stuffed, not one like this.

A vehicle is worth what a buyer is preparedto pay on the day. If it sells then that is what it is worth . If not then if the seller wants to get rid of it he must lower his price. There are hundreds of cars on Trademe that were listed over a year ago and still have not sold. Verdict. obviously overpriced!

This price for a 19 year old vehicle is look elsewhere material, seriously.

Rav 4 swb -all the power and luxury of a Corona with none of the space but as a bonus you get a 4wd fuel bill. Pathetic cars from day one for people who don't ask questions.

Ive sold Rav4's for very similar money recently. They are still sought after. Even as a TM auction vehicle with clicking front CV's and not good paint and 200k I have recently gotten 3k. So IMO he is still (just) in the ballpark. Im NOT saying I'm reccomending paying 6k for a mid 90's car because I'm not. Im just saying they do still fetch that money

It is the oldest of the Rav's being a 1994,and it is the less desirable 3 door, but the condition and K's give it it's value. I would say to the poster, it comes down to whether you are willing to pay $2000 more for this exceptional one or $2000 less for a high K one is average condition. Only you can answer that.

They're popular, and that one is low miles.He'll probably get asking price, or close to it.They're not my cup of tea, but other people like them.

Thanks for doing this.The first one is nice, not sure about the Will lol.
The problem with asking on here is you get so many differing answers, makes the choice harder really lol.But appreciate the input.

armchair experts at work. The seller asks a price and accepts an offer if he he/she wants. Seems to me dealer had a short fuse that day and buyers are under misaprehension that a seller should sell for what THEY want to pay. Both silly.
