suv cost more to maintain than sedan
toll gate fees are higher than sedan
taxes car renewal document is higher
the tires and shorkabsorber are is more expensive

if u want to buy rav4 suv buy from 2009 with 4 plugs some error are corrected

4plugs is more cheaper and easier to maintain

I used a 2008 model v6 for 7 years . very rugged, extremely fast with a 2GR fe engine and its quite reliable..dont joke with servicing with the appropriate OEM oil for transmission,engine and axle.. its only problem is the electric steering rack does not last too long and its expensive to replace(changed 2 times and worked it once) and its back axle(changed twice in 7 years) can easily get bad too especially if u live in a water logged area and u travel a lot too. Its parts are not that expensive for a small toyota SUV. SOLD IT WITH ITS ORIGINAL ENGINE AND GEAR IN PERFECT CONDITION.
I RECOMMEND YOU BUY IT BECAUSE ITS VERY RELIABLE BUT YOU CAN GET THE 4 CYLINDER WITH 2AR FE ENGINE(SUPER RLIABLE TOO) BUT IF YOU LOVE ACCELERATION GO FOR THE V6!!! ITS SO SO FAST!!!

LET YOUR COLLEAGUE BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IN CHOOSING A NAIJA USED OF THAT RAV4 OR LET HIM GO WITH AN EXPERIENCED PERSON TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IF HE MISTAKENLY BUYS THE ONE ABUSED OR WITH BAD ENGINE OR TRANNY, NA SERIOUS WAHALA AS TRANNY AND ENGINE IS EXPENSIVE NOW

Anything electric steering shouldn't be in your plan, that shit is expensive to manage.. u better go for the 04/05, the ones that comes with 2AZ engine...
