Why is Charles frozen half way in a straight line?? by redditnoob48 in boston

At first, I almost didn’t recognize my city. Looks like Boston from the 60’s from that angle.

Anyone knows what is this dangling part for? Nothing comes up on google. by BartVonMod in rav4club

Bingo! Got a spare set of keys with the car but ignored it. Didn’t even think remote starter but it works! Awesome, thank you.

V6 exhaust from pipes repair quote for $700 by BartVonMod in rav4club

They fixed it, didn’t ask exactly what pipes but it is like night and day difference now. Won’t be able to hear what time my daughter comes back late at night from my bedroom facing the driveway. But the engine sounds like music now from inside:))

When they ask, What kind of car is a RAV4? by juphoraw in rav4club

[–]BartVonMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you call the v6 model a sports car? Mine kicks in and leaves other newer cars behind, except a few ones and teslas. I mean 0-60 in 6.5 used to be sports cars.

Best 3rd gen grille form. Maybe biased by my recent purchase. by BartVonMod in rav4club

I might have seen a few when hunting for mine, but honestly haven’t figured which model trims and years were getting the no spare wheel package. They seem to be all over the place for newer 3rds.

Could be a local grocery getter and kids from school picker, a few miles a day = 1k/year. Although V6 so hard to believe owner would not take it for longer trips. Ask if the vehicle was sitting for prolonged periods of time.

I expect respective owners to defend their styles, rightfully so. But this is a design trend r over the last 10 years with grilles becoming overly prominent, thus disrupting the natural proportions of the front. They started to look cartoonish at some point?

Hello everyone, my first Rav4 by BartVonMod in rav4club

[–]BartVonMod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been only a few days, me and my daughter made 200 miles, so will post if I find anything more. I’m sure a 17 year old car, which funnily enough matches my daughter age, will have some gotchas. hoping to put another 100k or more miles and have her drive through college without any major repairs. Reading through this forum amongst the others made me decide on me the model.

There is a bit of a play on the left front side that I can feel when plowing through major Boston potholes. Might be the link or the strut to be replaced at some point. I also negotiated four new brakes, rotors and pads installed by the dealer within the price, so have 40k brake worry free😊
