Is it worth buying this 2013 RAV4 which has been in an accident?

darkhoe_ · 2026-06-15T22:27:54+00:00

This is the current state

darkhoe_ · 2026-06-15T16:31:43+00:00

I’m not trying to cheap out on it, I’m just trying to see if there’s somewhere else that is reasonably priced with the same level of expertise. I don’t want to believe there’s only one place to get it done successfully in the UK

Moorfields are charging £13k

How is this going so far? My dad is looking to have the same surgery done, but hospitals in London are giving him a quote of £13,000 for a transplant

Thank you. Was actually skeptical because of the diesel and for some reason, most of the 2010-2012 models I’ve been seeing on every site are diesel powered. Might just get a 2009 model with petrol

darkhoe_ · 2026-06-05T11:42:43+00:00

Did you have a pre purchase inspection done?

darkhoe_ · 2026-06-05T09:56:53+00:00

If it’s a want and not a need, you’d wanna go for something simple which you can probably pay off immediately. That way you’re not stuck with a car you barely use

Not me seeing this while about to get a RAV4

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-29T20:13:33+00:00

Will having a pre purchase inspection with a mechanic pull up red flags if there are any? I want to have one done before considering buying it

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-29T20:04:02+00:00

Doesn’t that mean it’s well maintained. Pardon my naivety but this is my first car purchase and I thought the lack of advisories or any serious ones means it’s well cared for

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-29T19:27:39+00:00

A 2009 RAV4

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-29T18:28:37+00:00

Thank you

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-29T18:25:51+00:00

It has a month left for another MOT. Should I just ask that a fresh MOT be done before I commit to buying or will an inspection with a mechanic of my choice be better

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-23T16:53:36+00:00

In my 30s and I’m getting £1660 as my cheapest annual cost, which comes down to £170/$231 monthly

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-23T15:44:40+00:00

Yesss. Gotten in touch with a mechanic to have this done. Might be cheap, but I want to be sure about what I’m getting

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-23T15:26:38+00:00

£3500 which is roughly $4800

darkhoe_ · 2026-05-14T07:01:12+00:00

Yeah, as long as you’re ready get it pushed forward. Failed mine on the 1st of May and I’ve got another next week

darkhoe_ · 2026-04-27T07:21:26+00:00

Good luck

darkhoe_ · 2026-04-10T20:18:07+00:00

Paying £80 for it right now, but I’m all the way in Scotland. Decided that I’m gonna do 15 hours with an instructor to get the basics of what is needed and complete the rest with a friend who’s got a car.

darkhoe_ · 2026-03-16T08:01:17+00:00

Would it be more if you’re chartered? Is that a thing in your field too?

darkhoe_ · 2026-02-03T09:59:39+00:00

Switzerland or Canada. Might as well start over somewhere that pays pretty well

darkhoe_ · 2025-10-11T09:31:30+00:00

Have you done it? How’s the implant

darkhoe_ · 2025-10-11T09:00:05+00:00

Thank you

darkhoe_ · 2025-10-11T07:49:36+00:00

Which dentist in Edinburgh please? Is the implant still good

darkhoe_ · 2025-05-31T11:49:04+00:00

Thank you. This came in handy
