But going by the very cheap prices these are going for (and it's not just year model and high km's which make them cheap), most seem to be beach-goer's and daily runabouts which people eventually tire of and want to upgrade for something newer. I've been used to Vitaras of the same sort of age but switched to a Jimny as I loved my SJ413 so much from previous years and that was not as enjoyable as I had hoped so I decided to try the Rav which had always been one of my alternatives. I never took the plunge before as I like a 'proper' old fashioned 4WD system and a separate chassis set up. However, right away I knew that once I had made a few changes to this old Rav (door mirrors which IMHO are awful and seating position) I would like it and guess what, I really do. Also I was totally shocked by the performance it gives while still returning 31-32mpg. With what it offers this is a keeper for me; I don't envisage being one of those who will tire of it. It'll never be as good for me as my '92 Pajero that I will never part with but it is a cracking little motor that hopefully will serve me well for another ten years.
