Hi everyone. I've just acquired a 1999 Freesport Automatic 3 door Freesport Rav4. I have been looking for a good condition low mileage 20th century car I can work on myself and this seems to be the one. Toyota reliability and well designed engine bay from the look of it. The car was only driven for 3 months each year for it's lifetime and has clocked a genuine 40'000 miles from new. The first and only owner before me lived in Israel and LA for 9 months of the year returning to the UK for a maximum 3 months in summer. Each year he would instruct a Toyota main dealer to prep the car for his return. I have a folder with £9500 worth of service receipts ! The car as you might expect drives as new and I am already enjoying the drive. For years I have driven large powerful diesel vehicles from pickups to vans to thirsty 4 wheel drives...the last being a VW Touareg...beautiful car but far exceeding my needs and unsuitable for short local urban journies...I am delighted to find a forum with what looks like a large family of enthusiastic owners who possess a wealth of knowledge. Happy days ! :smile
