Advice Needed by Feranchek(m): 9:07pm On Dec 07, 2015
hello brovs and sis, I've got a Tiny light that barely give me problem. I'm so0o much in luv with 'Javier' (that his name. Lol)
yesterday (Sunday), I called my car electrictian to come help me check something out. He later called me that he was at the workshop, so I drove down there.
When he was done, I pointed to a Rav 4 1999 model that was parked there. He said it was for sale and belong to his colleague (an elderly man i know well). Said its going for 350k but needs a new gear system cos the one there now do fail to switch to reverse whenever it gets hot. A friend is offering me 450k for my tiny light (he knows bout the rav 4 but said he prefers small cars)

My question are: d'yu think the gear could be the only issue? Cos the car is way too cheap (btw, gear system goes for 45 to 50k).

What are your candid opinion and advice on this issue (I so0o much luv rav 4

I was eagerly hoping you'd comment. Bro biko enlighten me more. Are you saying I should steer clear of the Rav 4? I was told the gear box cost about 45k to 50k. I really respect and admire your views on car talks.

If the gear box goes for that price don't you think the owner would have fixed his car

You took it out of my mouth.

Op, better stay with Javier. "The devil you know is better than the one you don't know". So says a saying.

Javier wasn't even a devil, going by what he said.
I feel the mechanic wants to befriend him, but Javier is not cooperating with the mechanic's plan.

2 different types of vehicles for different purposes.

There's no "better or best".
