Hey everyone! Im a new member, and first time poster to the group. I have been lurking for a few months, soaking up alot of information. So I thought id post and say hello, introduce my Rav4, and ask a pretty simple question.
I just recently bought my 97 Rav4 for really cheap. It has a few imperfections, but seems to run great for a car with 297,000 miles on her. Its a manual, 2wd version.
So my question is, what should I do, that I can do with the help of my car buddy, CHEAPLY, to keep her running? I need to replace the suspension. I dont know if anything has been done maintenance wise to her in quite a while, so she PROBABLY needs a timing belt change, and I dont feel like we have the confidence to do it ourselves, and i was quoted 800 bucks on that.. so I am a little leary.
anyway, what would you all do in the short term, middle term, and long run? any information would be great!
