Hello,
My name is Simon and I arrived in Australia a month ago. I was about to buy a rav4 edge 2002 with 190ks in Perth, when I read all this.
So now obviously I'm thinking about finding another car, but I have a few questions before that, because I was quite interested with this one.
This car would come with a one year warranty which apparently should cover the ecu/transmission problems.
I'm only in Oz for a year or two and need a car to drive long distances, in the bush and everything and I'm looking for a proper car to do that (as many, we're probably gonna do a road trip at some point).
I haven't checked in the book if the ecu got changed yet, but even so, do you think the problem could happen again with a new ecu?
I don't know a lot about cars and I clearly won't be able to pay this amount if the problems were to happen after this 1st year of use.
Do you have any recommendations ? I'm a bit lost here.
Thanks a lot for your help.
