The Toyota RAV4 has made a name for itself as one of the best-selling compact SUVs of all time. When it first launched in the 90s, it lived up to the expectations of both enthusiasts and critics. So, to this day, you can buy a used Toyota RAV4 at the lowest price imaginable. The RAV4 is a fuel-efficient car. It also has customization features that perform well on Nigerian roads. So, if you decide to buy your used Toyota RAV4 in Nigeria, here are some important tips to help you in the process.

Consider buying a used Toyota RAV4 3rd generation (2016-2012)

Each car has a generation built-in. If you’re looking to buy a used Toyota RAV4, we recommend looking primarily at the 3rd and 4th generation models. The third generation was produced from 2006 to 2012. It is equipped with seats in the third row and can accommodate up to 7-8 people, including the driver. In Nigeria, this means that the car can actually hold 10 people, including the driver.

A very comfortable car with a rear seat DVD infotainment system, adaptive automatic climate control and many other great features. In fact, the 2012 version came with Entune smartphone integration and a touchscreen display. Now, pay attention to these features when buying a used Toyota RAV4.

Pay Attention To The Engine

You don’t want to be in a car that has front and middle airbags but has been removed or is not working. Also, keep in mind that the RAV4 of the 3rd generation has the option to choose between two engines. Talk to a mechanic who understands how these work so you don’t bring home the wrong unit.

On the other hand, the 4th generation RAV4 was manufactured from 2013 to 2018. If you’re looking for a sporty yet comfortable and compact SUV, consider this version. It is convenient because the front seats are equipped with seat heaters, so you don’t have to worry about the cold. This RAV4 generation also includes all the installations and features typically found in the previous generation. From the sleek touchscreen and Entune smartphone integration to navigation to safe and sound driving. However, if you go to a dealer and buy a used Toyota RAV4 of the latest generation, look out for features like a forward collision assist, an automatic braking system, and a rear-view camera. If these don’t work, you can get a big discount or get the seller to fix it and go back to buying. Go and compare your vehicle to others that are in our class. 

Deeply Access The Car Models

Check out how the lights work on your dashboard to see if they actually work. For example, the fourth generation does not have middle-row seats. So don’t be surprised if it’s the third generation instead of the last. So if one has a 5-speed gearbox and the other doesn’t or has a V6 engine and the other still has the old petrol engine, Please do your research and access and consider what is most important in relation to these model years. 

A Mechanic Is Always Handy

Finally, it’s always important to go with someone who has an eye for cars, especially a mechanic. There are definitely some things that Toyota mechanics can’t see unless the ignition is on, and things that are hard to notice even after a test drive. These tips will help you buy a used Toyota RAV4 hassle-free. Also, make sure the version you finally decide on meets most of your needs.
