by A Rare Toyota RAV4 with Minimal Mileage
The Toyota RAV4 is deservedly considered one of the most reliable compact SUV models. However, a unique specimen from the 2000 model year with incredibly low mileage has appeared on the market. This J version (for “joyful”) was imported to the USA, but over 25 years it has been driven only 5,869 km. It is likely one of the least used RAV4s in the world.
The car is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 127 horsepower, which is paired with a manual transmission. Despite modest specifications, such a combination, along with all-wheel drive, can provide an interesting driving experience.
Original Design and Condition
The model has retained the original Japanese aerodynamic kit, which includes special bumpers, a spoiler, and additional mirrors. Although the car is in good condition, the seller reports a minor accident in the past, which required replacing the front fender and repairing the hood.
Such finds become true collector’s rarities, especially considering the growing popularity of retro cars. The low mileage and original parts make this RAV4 J an interesting option for classic car enthusiasts. At the same time, potential buyers should consider the car’s age and the need for additional maintenance.
