Bit worried about the age, and about the safety rating. But my budget is 10k and cant seem to find anything else that doesnt have 100k+ miles on it. My next option would be a heavily used rav4 for closer to 10k. Any tips? Thanks. For the record, this is to be my daily driver for short commutes. No longer than an hour every once in a while.
Where are you looking? If the market is really that bad where you are its probably worth a road trip to a better area to try and pick something up more reasonably. I live in the desert southwest and there are hundreds of toyotas for sale right now on craigslist that would be a better deal than what you are talking about.
