Before you change the EGR switching valve buried behind the intake, check the vacuum modulator, the round plastic thing sitting at the top of the intake. That will throw an EGR code if it goes bad as well. Much easier to check first. Ive put over 500,000 miles on 5SFE engines over the years. Never had any major issues. Great little 4 bangers, super reliable and easy to work on. Im still daily driving a 98 with a 5 speed manual to this day.

WHEN I WAS LOOKING for my van I got on my bicycle and did a grid search of my town of 30k. Best deals sitting in someone's driveway unadvertised. Took about a month but found what I was looking for a 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport (164k) that was 14 years ago I still have. Check Engine came on last year but went away after a couple of months. I figured out how to make them last forever; stay out of them. Only got 170K on it right now... runs like a top.

Great score! I dragged home an '05 CR-V with 5spd for $1,200 in Nov. '23. Took a few weeks to get it dialed in, and I had the roof and hood painted because they looked like yours. Best car I've ever owned, and I love the silly thing. Ridiculously easy to work on, fits like a glove, and between the ride height and all the glass, it's just a great road trip tool. I have a feeling you're really going to love the RAV for the same reasons.

Sometimes Mechanics say it needs a head gasket because they want to buy it from you for next to nothing in hopes you don't know any better. I had it happen to my friend. He offered his car to me after his mechanic said the head gasket was blown. When my mechanic and I inspected it and compression tested... It was fine... just needed a tune up.... Plugs and wires. I told my friend who I bought it from what happened, and not to go to that mechanic anymore, plus I offered to sell it back to him for what I had in it, but he didn't have the money.

Rav 4 owner here had a 99 that got hit and replaced by insurance for $4000. Now own a 2003 LTD, lots more plastic, the glass headlights are worth the $1100 alone. I found out it was an Alberta car that is similar weather to what you have, so lots of under surface rust. Original rims are trashed due to lots of chain use. Engine light always on, one window not working minor issues 345,000kms.Will be interested in what you do with the clearcoat fix, most just leave it. You will have a lot more room if you take the back seats out. I can get 2 bikes in with the back seats out. The seats in the 98 are bolted in but by the 2003 came out they were latched in and easily removed. I wish Toyota made Rav 4s like the old ones. the older ones are going up in price so you got a good deal here.

My buddy got one of these for his young wife. She loved it. He used to say, she went from My Little Pony, to My RAV4/ lol! She got foraminal mileage, like low 50's because she always bought 93 octane gas. Her Dad had told her you get out more then you ever put in with 93. Oil, and valves stayed cleaner, lots more power then her cousin who lived a few doors down. I'm gonna guess the last owner's mechanic was looking for a new collage ride for his kid. Thus the head gasket "problem". Best of luck with your new, cute, little pony, Jenn! lol!

I'm old enough to have just about any car I want, but I'm highly jealous of Jen right now - the feeling excitement of a cool new car is just something else. You deserve it!

That was an awesome buy! Jen, congratulations! You will absolutely love that. My brother has a tundra and it has 320,000 mi on it. The transmission is original. The engine is original. The valve covers never been off the engine. All he's had to do is replace the water pump alternator and he finally replaced the radiator but it's still running strong

Cerakote ceramic wipes are the best for that plastic trim. Project farm did a test on the best trim stuff. Been 4 months and all my cars plastic still looks new. Gotta love KZfaq for honest real-world reviews. Saves time and money. Sweet car. You guys did good.

I have the same Rav4 model 1996 with manual shifts, I paid 1500 for mine 3 years ago and rebuilt the engine, it is comfortable and fun to drive, it is my daily driver now.

Great price for the upgrade. My wife and I had a RAV4 for years. Great little daily. They tend to go thru front rotors and pads, easy fix though. Watch the transaxle, these were known for that being a problem. We had ours supposedly warranty repaired however after about a year the problem reoccurred. Traded it in on another car before we got stranded in it. Otherwise, it was a great car. Enjoy!

Bought a 2004 Ford F-150 with the 4.6 and had the same issue with thermostat being bad. Plus a bad fuel pump driver module. $50 later, running like a champ.

I had the exact vehicle same color. Mine had a noise engine,turned out being my timing belt. Changed that and the waterpump and it was good for the 3 years I drove it. Worked great in the snow. I paid $1500 for mine

That’s a great buy! 1st generation are the best. 2006-2012 with the V6 are nice too but watch out for transmission whine. Any other years besides the 96-2000 the 4 cylinder should be avoided.

great content. that car has plenty of life left. i would love to see another vid of the underneath being rustproofed eg control arms and torn cv boots replaced. 😊

That egr valve isn’t bad to get to if you take off the passenger tire and go in from the side, I had to switch it out on my old solara with the 2.2, I took off the tire and the stabilizer bar end link, plenty of room to get your arm up there from that angle. Can’t see what your doing and have to do it by feel, but wasn’t too bad. That switch goes out on all these engines

Top of vehicle looks good. Can't get over the underside rust. We never see any of that down here in Mississippi. Please let us know if you ever head this way. Would love to make the video. LOL.

Brilliant little 4wd car.. I had one here in the UK but mine was a manual transmission. And surprisingly good off-road

My friends mom in high school had a green one of these with an aftermarket sunroof with a 5 speed. I still see these every so often around California.
