Volkswagen of Salem review
Overall good buying experience at dealership.
Francisco was very helpful and show the van we bought even while it was being detailed. Also made the buying process simple by getting the all the financing before the van was done. Overall a good buy experience and follow through with getting one of the door locks fixed after the sale,
1997 Toyota RAV4 Base review
Fantastic driving car
I had a chevy half ton for years until I bought a 1996 with some mechanical problems, it took less than 2 whole days to rebuild the front end suspension. AC didn't work either, but a can of refrigerant did the trick. The engine is gutless but with the gears it gets out of its own way fine. I loved it so much I had to get an awd 1997 model also with a 5 speed. They're fantastic cars, start and run like a clock, all the little accessories work, and almost all mechanical problems can be dealt with a single day of time. It can carry people and stuff, tow a light trailer, it’s as versatile as an SUV but built and drives like a tall corolla, so it fits almost anywhere. I hope to keep my 97 for many more years. 26-31MPG too

1997 Toyota RAV4 Base review
A Forever Vehicle
I have a 5door '98 that I kept in fairly original condition with regular maintenance & part-time winter 4wd use (a '09Yaris for daily & an mr2-s for summer). Will qualify for collector plate status here (BC) come 2023 (soon!) meaning low insurance & can be covered all year round. 240k(kms) still going strong with just fluids, brakes & belts replaced. Lots of fa ebook groups for parts & friendly advice. Ill keep this & mr2-s forever for grandson to enjoy when everyone else will be on AI-autonomously boring vehicles!

Its not the fanciest car but it's dependable. Regular oil changes and no expensive repairs. It drives well and I don't worry about breaking down on the road at all
