Toyota Rav4 (Gen. 1) Owners & Discussions [Merged]

[encotgaw]

A friend is offering me to buy his good condition 1999 RAV4. Before I make an offer, I would like to get anyone's comments on the following concerns:

1) What is the market price of a 1999 RAV 4?

2) Are there any known problems with this vehicle?

The unit was bought in August 1999, has four doors and is a 4x4 variant. The mileage is around 40k. It has manual transmission.

If there are existing owners of this RAV4 model, I'd very much appreciate getting your first hand experience/comments about the SUV (both good ones and bad ones).

Thanks in advance. ;)

malamang Gen 1 yung '99 prices above kaya mura. i assume, Gen 2 yung binebenta ng friend mo.

[BlackMagic]

1999 is still Gen1. Gen 2 started 2000 na AFAIK.

I have a '98 Gen1 Manual 5 door. I got it with 66K mileage. Had the ffg done since then:
1. Clutch overhaul and replace brake pad- due na kasi - cost me 11K
2. Changed Aircon cooling coil - bumigay kasi - cost me 11K
3. Changed 4 tires - kalbo na kasi - cost me 9600
4. Changed Head Unit - wala kasi CD - cost 7500
5. Detailed/maintained at BigBerts - la lang - cost me 0 kasi I'm a co-owner of BigBerts hehe.

Pros:
Sarap i-drive. Malamig ang AC. Malufet sa floods. Spare tire mounted na ang bike rack ko.

Cons:
Matakaw sa gas (6-7km/li) pag traffic. Pero highway ok naman. upto 9-10km/li. Leg room for the rear seats is quite cramped. Spartan interior.

yeap 1994-1999 gen1

2000-2003 gen2

2004 gen2.5 daw hehe

mukhang yung mga 2001 rav d na mabebenta sa ganung price un, masyado na silang malapit sa price ng brandnew 2004

[pparado]

Ano po ang maganda/pangit, good/bad, pros/cons of a 2 door RAV4

May lo-mileage and sariwang 1997 model na ibinebenta sa akin...what is a fair price for this?

OR, what would you rather acquire? (for the same amount?)

Marami pong salamat sa inyong lahat!

[pepengtom]

400k +
nakasakay na ko sa turtle type 2-door ng friend ko.
makalampag den. masikip.
masikip ang legroom.
buti na lang, pampasok lang sa school. kung hindi. siksikan palagi un.

[carlocaraddict]

well, its bouncy though it still has enough power. Have tried riding on that.

[mazdamazda]

I'd prefer the Gen1 CR-V over the Gen1 Rav4. though it is priced a bit higher.

Nakasakay na rin ako sa g1 rav4(yun 5 door)... it's a bit small inside. masikip

[gudboy]

meron ba maganda foglights babagay sa rav4 na luma?
mahina kasi ilaw nung rav4. yung 5 door na luma na rav4.
any recommendation sa foglight?

[baurtwellXUV]

meron akong nakita ma nagpalit ng bumper. yung bumper nya may kasama ng fog lights.. maganda rin tignan yun nga lang hindi ko lam kung san nila pinagawa yung bumper...

[axelangel007]

pwedeng mong palitan ng hid (high intense discharge) yun headlight mo,or lagay ka ng bullbar para sa foglamps . dlaa foglamps or bosch

[A_eyE]

Baka sa A-toy bodykits meron bumper na may foglamps. Pagawa ka doon.

[gudboy]

wah!! malaking budget aabutin nun...huhuh la ba yung add on lang wala na palit bumper? medyo mataas din kasi hid kit ?

[baurtwellXUV]

mataas din ang hid kit. pero try mo din ask kay a-toy magkanu yung kit nya sa bumper lang na may fog lamps.. wala naman mawawala kung magtatanong ka d ba bro?!

[BlueBimmer]

kng gs2 mo super tipid bli ka nalang mga taiwan foglamps sa banawe kahit apat pa ikabit mo mura lng. pero di lng nga syado maganda dispersion ng beam. hanap ka ung may reflector.

Hello guys.

what type/brand of shocks can you advise for a 1997 gen1 5door matic rav4.
Mostly for city driving purposes, with the ocassional trips to Baguio.

I recently just got this rav4, and based on my mechanic may tagas na raw yung shocks, so might as well replace with a better one. Any ideas na rin on the price? Pasyal rin sana ko sa motortown sa ATC to canvass for the said parts.

TIA

Old Man Emu has a full RAV4 upgrade as far as I know.

The OME's on our Cruiser work great both on and off-road.
