Mileage Question

[Trbrewer65]

Hi all, I've had Rav's now since 2005 and love them, my latest Rav went wrong with a gearbox fault and was uneconomical to repair so I'm on the look out for another one?

My question is I've seen a 2005 auto model that's got 132,000 miles on it but with full service history.

Do you think it will be ok for plenty more miles yet? 

Or should I go for an older model with less mileage? 

 

Advice would be be appreciated guys?

I bought a higher mileage 2005 RAV (around 109k) -  went for it as it had a full Toyota service history and was a 3dr facelift  model which seemed to be more difficult to find.  However, my  local mechanic gave it a service and commented that the RAV engines are (if properly serviced) strong and should be good for an easy 200k+ - it's all the other wear and tear bits attached to it that will probably cause bigger bills. Every car is a gamble anyway!

132k? Could say that's about average mileage for a 2005 model but if you're already questioning whether it's high mileage then maybe you've already decided that you're not 100% sure? If so, why not wait it out for another one to appear unless it's a keen price or a specific spec that you want?
