Hi this is my first post..

today I bought a 1998 RAV4 for $5500 (5 door manual) from a chap in Perth.. he said he paid $8800 from a dealer only last year.. he originally wanted $6500 but I talked him down.. but now I am home I feel like I was the one suckered in... :blink:

I have NO MANUAL, NO LOGBOOKS and 325000KM.. NO STERO.. NO ELECTRIC WINDOWS, NO WINDOW TINT..the body is OK.. the interior is OK.. when it drive it feels good but when I take my foot off the power the car makes a hissing sound.. anyone know what that is?

Also if anyone knows where I can get my hands on a manual that will be great.. I dont know how to switch car from normal drive to 4 wheel drive.. :unsure:

all advice/comments very welcomed.. :rolleyes:

Also does this car come with AIRBAGS.. my friends car hiace ute does however it is stated on the steering wheel.. there is no writing on my steering wheel.. :help:

You need to provide more information on the Rav4 (e.g. is it a Cruiser?)and maybe upload some pics.

Here is the info i found for a 5 door cruiser in manual.

4X4 5sp Manual Unleaded Multi-point injected 4cyl 2.0 1998cc

Average Private Price+ $6,900 - $8,800

Trade In Price Guide+ $4,600 - $6,500

Average km+ 180000 - 300000

Price When New (RRP)+ $31,860

My99 Wagon.

4X4 5sp Manual Unleaded Multi-point injected 4cyl 2.0 1998cc

Average Private Price+ $5,600 - $7,400

Trade In Price Guide+ $3,400 - $5,200

Average km+ 180000 - 300000

The Kms seems a bit high.
