What to check on your Toyota RAV4 before you start

RAV4 sellers should confirm whether the car is a gas, hybrid or plug-in hybrid model, sold as the Prime through 2024, because all three share a badge. Note XLE, Limited or TRD Off-Road trim and all-wheel drive. Keep maintenance records together, since appraisers will look for them.

  1. Get your estimate. Good for 7 days, not an offer.
  2. Book your appraisal. About 30 minutes, and never a fee.
  3. Get your firm offer. One firm offer, good for 7 days.
  4. Sign and get paid. By check at handoff, plus your $500 bonus.
