The RAV4 is all new, with more power, more room, and more seats. The presentation is seamless, the driving pleasurable and the packaging delivered with the usual Toyota aplomb.
The RAV4 comes in three trim levels, all with four doors: base, Sport and Limited. All three start with front-wheel drive and the same 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission. All three can be upgraded to the 3.5-liter, 269-horsepower V6 with a new five-speed automatic. Full-time four-wheel drive is available across the line. Safety features include dual-stage frontal airbags, LATCH child safety seat anchors, antilock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control and traction control. However, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags are optional on all three models.
The Toyota RAV4 has been completely re-designed for 2006.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Toyota RAV4, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Toyota RAV4 for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Toyota RAV4 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Toyota RAV4 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Toyota RAV4 will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Toyota RAV4 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
