Used Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for Sale in San Diego, CA

So I know many have had good and bad experiences at dealerships; long waits, unmotivated staff, or sometimes you feel like they are just talking you down the rabbit hole. I'm here to write about my experience as a first time car buyer. Valerie and her excellent sales rep helped me find the car that was not only within my price range, but also stylish and reliable. I walked in through the pearly white doors at 11AM and out by 1PM... Just kidding I'm not going to sugar coat this review. I walked into Mossy TOYOTA (Don't get confused with Mossy FORD across the street) and was happily greeted by Percy Settle (Sales rep). I don't know if it was fate or maybe I'm just gullible, but Percy and I talked like equals. He first asked me what I was in for and helped me get comfortable for the Space Mountain of a rollercoaster that I was about to endure! Just kidding, we talked for a bit and he understood my situation with bad credit and no money in the bank. We then proceeded to look at cars, and boy did we look! He not only was able to help me find a car that was reasonable, but also stylish and newer than the car I previously had. During the test drive, I asked him if they do it to see if the person they were selling the car to, is a speed demon or drives like a snake on the highway so they can sell the driver more packages and make more money? He laughed and comforted me by saying they test drive with the person to listen for any outstanding defects on new and used cars, so they can say they proudly sell a safe and reliable car. After the drive, came the financial part, oh boy. After Percy was able to talk with his negotiators, a young lady by the name of Valerie came to talk with me. I spoke about my situation and she listened with all ears, took a look at my credit, and then proceeded upstairs. After a little over an hour of waiting with bathroom breaks and talking to Percy, Valerie came back down to call me to sign paperwork. I was a little confused at first, but Percy again reassured me letting me know that she knows what she is doing. I followed her and she brought me into a room that had a lot of paperwork. (xxx?! I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!) She sat me down and told me she was able to work with some people to help me get within my budget. It was ~$100 less than I was preparing to pay for with BAD CREDIT! THANK YOU VALERIE! To finish up, she went through all the paperwork with a breeze and told me what each and every one of my initials or signatures meant. She also explained to me the coverage options I could defer or recommended ones I should get 'just in case' situations come up. Not only was she professional, but also up front about my situation. She was worried because she didn't know what she could get for me. Overall, I ended up with a more reliable car that I can afford and it was thanks to the team at Mossy TOYOTA. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Thanks for reading because sometimes unsung heroes need to be recognized. I will probably copy and paste me review across the other review sites as well, too lazy to write a new one. By the way, I got a 2013 Toyota Corolla S. Again, nothing too fancy because I'm a practical kind of person and they treated me as such. Find someone who will understand you and what your needs are and listens to you.

One of the best off over 50 new cars I have owned. Plenty of power and very economical. Safety features are outstanding. I would highly recommend this car if I was buying a used car.

Come back today on Monday 10/15/2018. Gina and Valerie got my case, and resolved it very quickly. Thank you Valerie and Gina! ----- Loc

The RAV4 is a very nice car to drive both highway and city. Great gas mileage around town and highway is nearly the same. Like the information available on the navigation screen. It has a very smooth running and quiet engine. Very nice compact SUV.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

I am not a big fan of the exterior styling, but I love the inside. The seats are some of the most comfortable I've experienced. The layout inside is very well designed. The interior noise is a little higher than I had hoped, but not intolerable. I wanted a mid sized SUV that felt more solid than the Honda HRV that I traded that also gets in the upper 30's for gas mileage. The Rav feels very solid on the road. It drives great. The mileage I'm getting so far falls well short of expectation. With a combination of in town and highway driving, I got just over 34 mpg on my first full tank. In town, I'm a reasonable, calm driver. On the highway, I'm driving a steady 75 mph. I did not expect to get 40 mpg. My expectation was 36-37. I'm not sure if mileage improves as the car breaks in?

I took my 4Runner to Mossy Toyota for its 20K mile serviced, and I was blown away! Everyone from service, to the store's managers were helpful, friendly and courteous. The service was quick and I was treated very well. They even gave treats to my dog! Will definitely be back - terrific group here:)

The car meets all my needs and also has plenty of leg room. This vechicle is a hybrid which saves a lot of money on gas. The gas mileage is fantastic!

Muy buen servicio amables como deve ser compre mi toyota sienna 2015 y gasta ahora todo muy bien recomiendo toda clace de carros de toyota muy buenas garantias ofrece

Vehicle has been perfect for me. I am satisfied with the performance & comfort. Averaged 34.08 MPG over the 2 years. Safety systems all work correctly. Reliability has been great. Not a high tech guy, but everything works fine. Some competitors have better interiors, but it is OK. Has plenty of room & cargo space. Headlights could be a little stronger & liftgate could raise a little higher. Brakes are good. Gas to electric & back is seamless. With Toyota Care, I have had zero maintenance costs. Have signed up for Toyota Care Plus at a cost of $329 which is a no-brainer for another 2 years as it also covers a new air filter & cabin air filter at 30,000 miles.

I appreciate friendly professional service by expert mechanics. Comfortable waiting area with free Wi-Fi & widescreen TV. I'm especially pleased with John L. who looks out for customers be interest. Thank you, Steve F.

Car looks and runs great. Money saver with the hybrid and very quick. The except is the horrible Scout GPS. No maps, nothing but voice, if you can get it to work at all. No Apple Play, so you’re basically stuck with aftermarket GPS like Waze... and I like Waze. Toyota put Apple Play in the 2019.., no help for the 2018

We are very happy with the RAV4 Hybrid. The safety features, comfort level and infotainment system are top notch. The ride is smooth and secure.

This vehicle has met my vehicles needs are far as comfort, stability and needs. This vehicle is great on gas and a full tank last me one week and I do drive a lot of miles. Very reliable vehicle for the whole entire family.
