It's been about a year when I joined the forum, proclaiming that I wanted a Rav 4 and ended up with a Yaris. Fast forward six months and my wife took it over, with just 1000 miles added on the clock. Needless to say I rarely used it.
Anyhoo, fast forward a further six months and I realised thst I could not manage without a car any longer. This time it was going to be different though. I was going to get a Rav 4.
Although I wanted an automatic, they were like hens teeth within the area I wanted to travel to buy it, and w it in the budget i had set myself. So I compromise and got a manual, I spent £3750 on a 2008 petrol xt-r, with 88000 on the clock.
I'm chuffed to little mint balls with it, as apart from two small scratches on the off side front wheel arch, it's immaculate. So, Friday morning it's going for a full service in a local garage
It's got a full service history, although the chap who owned it previously got it serviced at 78000 miles when he acquired it, he hasn't since, well it's not got a stamp in the book, because he thought he didn't have to have one till it had done 90000.
The weather hasn't been to good to take photos, I'll post a few when it warms up a bit. Any advice on going forward with regards to what to look out for would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
