2003 Toyota RAV 4 – Model ACA23R (4WD) 2362cc Auto (NZ new) 5 x door wagon.

A great example of a well-cared for vehicle with only 117,000k’s on the clock.

I purchased from an elderly gentleman in Invercargill 2010 at 103,000k’s. I still have the original auction notes [always garaged and serviced etc…]
Drives beautifully and looks great in deep red – burgundy color.

2.4L (2362cc) with cruise control. New WOF and registered. I am selling to downsize and because of very little usage (just 14,000k’s in 8 years)

Some minor stone chips on bonnet which you would expect on a vehicle of this age – the darker colour tends to diminish these.

Inspection welcome and I’ll answer questions to the best of my ability. Interior upholstery – carpets, mats, vinyl are all in original excellent condition. I replaced the original radio/cd player with a Kenwood DPX-U5140BT player.

Toyota reliability and plenty of power under the bonnet at 2.4L

Negotiable

Hi neighbours, plans to introduce a maximum wheel clamp removal fee of $100 have been announced. This comes after complaints against "predatory" clampers but an AA spokesman said the $100 fine was disproportionate for many parking offences. What do you think?

Under the proposed legislation, police will be given the power to fine individual clampers up to $1000 and a company up to $5000 for breaking the rules. These fines increased to $3000 and $15,000 respectively if the matter ended up in court. Read the full story here.

Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!

Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!

So, what are your thoughts on our country's milk? Take part in our poll, and feel free to share your thoughts in the replies!
