Very clean and straight. Has a few very minor dings here and there but they are barely noticeable unless you are up close in bright lights and nit-picking and a very small crack in front bumper plastic by headlight....again, not real noticeable but I want to be honest and point out the flaws I noticed. Overall this thing looks great and has a really, really sharp appearance!! Solid body!! **Paint Condition: Very, very nice and shiny. A few minor scratches on rear bumper but all in all.....VERY NICE!! **Underneath Condition: Good, solid and original shape. **Tire Condition: 3 tires are poor with 10% tread and one has 75% tread.

EVERYTHING Ran and worked 100%!! Transmission shifted smooth and perfectly, all options worked properly and the truck ran, drove and handled excellently! I picked it up from there and was driving back to my sales lot and about a mile from the lot I started to lose power, check engine light came on and I heard a "tapping/ticking" right before it stalled out......all within 30 seconds of the problem being noticed. Tried to start one time and it just cranked (weak crank like a bad battery). Had it towed back to lot and had a local mechanic stop in and check out. We put jumpers on it, tried to start and again, it just cranked with a weak but pulsating type cranking. As soon as the mechanic heard that, he stated that he believes the timing belt broke and suggested to not try and start it anymore so we do not cause any other damage........THIS IS HOW YOU BUY IT!!Will need timing belt and possibly additional engine work, depending on what you find upon tearing it apart. We have no idea what, if anything, else was damaged from this problem. **********FOLKS, YOU ARE BIDDING ON/BUYING this RAV-4 AS -IS, Where it sits and as a project that needs engine work/does not run. My loss could be your gain........could be a $500 fix or it may need engine/engine work. **Other notes: Will need towed/trailered or shipped. We can help load on trailer. ** Warranty Info: NONE.......Sold AS-IS, not running, does not start. Look up Kelly Blue book and NADA folks.......valued at $12-$14 grand in "good" condition. SELLING at NO RESERVE!!! High bidder buys it regardless of final bid/price!
