Good shout. 3 doors are cool, but as pointed out, no longer cheap. Probably depreciation free motoring, what's not to like. I do like them a lot but in answer to "what's not to like", for me it would be £315 road tax. That is becoming a hard one to swallow...my car with a 4.2L engine and is the same road tax group not sure how they work them out 🤔 |

The road tax is punitive but cheaper than the Saab. Nevertheless my attitude is, I can't take it with me so I might as well spend it while I can on the things I enjoy! :TU: |

Well done....was that the 04 plate with the black leather ?......very nice 👍🏻 Any leeway on the price from the dealer ? Not bad, really. MBH did the negs herself. Got reversing sensors fitted (Toyota OEM not aftermarket), full Toyota service, some minor cosmetics, 12 months warranty (national with no claims contribution), and £500 off asking price. It already had new set of boots, unused spare, immaculate alloys and unmarked leather. I know 3-drs ask silly money but they are in serious demand. This dealer had a dozen of them plus another 10 or so 4.3's and a couple of C-RV's. He rates the 4.2 because he can sell them all day long with little or no after sales failings. The Boss is happy so I'm happy . |

Mad money those 3 doors. Owners are bloody mad and blinkered....
Or are they ?
5 years ago I bought a near new 4.4....I paid near enough 25K for it. It’s worth now ...... Well not a lot.
Old Jase that old bloke from ower Eysum owned a 3 door. Same car is worth today it seems what it was worth 5 years ago when I bought the 4.4....
So whose the muppet ??
A 3 door is no use to me. I would have bought the wife one but she would rather have her IQ... IQs run on fumes you know.... Not sure if I ever mentioned that 😜?
Buy what takes yer fancy. Life’s to short to do owt else.👍👍

Of course now all the upgrading and messing about will start:
Side steps
Nightbreakers
OEM RAV4 bull bar (although don't know if they're still available and the Boss hates them)
Power socket in boot
Etc
Etc
We really do have to keep this one!!!
