Used Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for Sale in San Rafael, CA

On Thursday, Sept 14th, I called Tyler Toler at Toyota Marin to talk about me possibly purchasing a new car. I had purchased a a car from Tyler about 2 years ago and based on my previous experience,I knew that he would take good care of me. We talked about my options and what cars were available in my price range , Because he had all of my information from my previous purchase , he asked me to email him a few things pertaining to my current car(which I would be trading in),then he promptly emailed me the specs for the potential options, I made a decision, and we were on our way to finalizing my car purchase within an hour or so. We decided to talk the following afternoon.I called him on Friday, very excited about my brand new car. Because I have a very busy schedule, I told Tyler that I'd probably be able to come in on that Saturday or Sunday to finalize everything, and then something I wasn't ready for. happened ; Tyler says "Why don't I have the car delivered to you, TODAY (From Marin to the East Bay,in midday traffic, no less) ??? !!!! I was in shock !! I knew that Toyota Marin provided exemplary customer service , but this was above and beyond anything that I had anticipated. Tyler said he would have Ren Briones drive my car to me and take the old one back. A couple of hours later, Ren was calling me from in front of my apartment complex !!!! The great service continued. Ren, assisted me in cleaning out my old car and transferring all of my things into the new one ! He said that anything that I did't want to leave it in the car and he would dispose of it for me. He the went over all of the amenities that my new car had and showed me how to set things up. we then signed all the documents and it was a done deal. I am now The proud, happy and completely satisfied owner of a brand new 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE !!!!! And I absolutely love it. On a scale of 1 to 10 ,I would give both Tyler and Ren a 1 million for not just doing their jobs but for going out of their way to make me feel like I was their #1 customer. They were both gracious and beyond nice. Sufice it to say, I will be buying my new car at Toyota Marin. Thanks Tyler and Ren. You guys are Awesome.

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?

We had a great experience trading in our car and getting a barely used replacement from Mo! Mo was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and most importantly...not pushy. He made our car buying experience easy and we walked out with a deal same day. No gross salesman tricks here - the entire team was polite and respectful. We love our new car from Daly City Mitsubishi!

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

I worked with Ryan Dong on the purchase and Tamara on the financing. I like the non-haggling concept of the sale. I bought a used 2013 Toyota Sienna, very clean. Ryan explained all the new features of the van, I had an older Sienna previously. He also kept me in the loop as to how long the whole process was going to take since there were so many buyers that day. Working with Tamara on the loan was a breeze as well, as all the forms were digital - no more paper forms! I had to leave my truck their overnight since I couldn't drive both home. Ryan had is washed and cleaned! Outstanding customer service! I would buy from them again.

MEETS ALL NEEDS OF THE FAMILY, GREAT ON GAS, DRIVES LIKE A CADALIAC, AFFORDABLE MONTHLY PAYMENT - RECOMMEND MAURICE BAHAMONDES, VERY COMFORTABLE, LOVE ALL THE EXTRAX THAT COME WITH THE RAVE4

Buying a car can be like a day long process. They had me in and out in about an hour. Derek Laubach was outstanding! Will come back

I bought it when it was a year outdated. But still overall performance is very satisfying. It’s a very smart car.I can rely on it.

Shift is a bit different as they are not actually dealers but consignment for the sellers. A slightly different yet interesting approach. They basically are a mobible auto selling business that comes to you. The cars are inspected, clean and offer competitive pricing. The salesperson lets you take your time, drive the vehicle and offers info and financing and extended warranty options. This is a great idea and hats off to the group who started this business.

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.

Arranged a meeting date with internet salesman, Henry Pun. Arrived, he greeted me, showed me the vehicles interested in. Let me test drive at my leisure. Arranged excellent financing for me, stood by internet sales price, no tricks or gimmicks. Listened to my desires, not the dealer. Very efficient, friendly and customer oriented. John in financing was excellent to deal with as well. Overall, a painless experience. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

A great design - comfortable and roomy (believe it or not) and with all the bells and whistles you could want. The safety features are really cool - parking assist, blind spot monitoring, cameras all around!

This is a limited; it has it all: Moon roof, heated seats, back up & 360 cameras, power everything, good mileage, guts, looks, and very safe.

I bougth a car form this place,and the sales parson is helpful,and the finance directer Mr Larry Sherman is nice guy. I will recommend to my family,friend,and coworkers too.

Initially I did a general inquiry Keith called to follow up, so I looked online to see other people's reviews of their experiences (note they are consistently outstanding.) spoke to Keith for maybe 15 minutes over the course of a Day or 2 emailed some information then went in to see what he had for me. I got to the dealership to find that Keith and Jay had already worked out 99% of the details I just had to test drive the car to make sure I liked it! Which I did!:) The next morning I went back to sign and give my downpayment, since my income was a bit higher than they thought keith, Jay, and Robert all tried to get me a better interest against all odds... I had never learned/ cared or paid attention to my credit and didn't realized the importance of good credit until recently. Keith genuinely has a passion for taking the opportunity of purchasing a car as setting them up for sincere success and laying it all out giving them the building blocks to improve what ever their situation might be, Jay did everything in his power to implement that plan and modify anything he thought could help. Then came Robert who also definitely uses his power for good, he will get to know you and your situation the whys and why nots that he believes will help him do his job to the best of his ability, you can tell he cares about what he does. Finally Gary, Gary walked me through step by step of my paperwork answered all my questions and even reviewed stuff that I didn't ask about but that are common questions. Very thorough and patient you can tell he likes what he does as well! Even the people I didn't personally encounter but could watch at work while waiting here and there they were all nice, genuine customer service and enjoyed their work! I have referred people to them, I will go back to get my next vehicle from them( when I live in Santa Rosa/ work in Novato so I pass 2 more on my way home! Do not get me wrong I believe in toyota to have great employees at all locations I just felt after reading reviews Keith was best to help me in my situation!) so if you're looking for a car and a wonderful experience I recommend toyota!

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!

I had a great experience with David L. at SF Toyota. I reached out to David L. by email about the possibility of buying the 2018 camry . He kept in touched with me on when the camry will arrive and answered any questions I may have. I finally decided to go down for a test drive and meet David. He was friendly and I felt no pressure to buy the camry. When I made my decision to buy the camry the process went smooth. The only hiccup is when I went to finalize the transaction it took a little longer than I expected. Other than that the staff was friendly and helpful.

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.

I have found a used Prius that matched my search, I called dealership, set an appointment the same afternoon with Ryan. We drove the car, explored options and everything was super smooth! The car is perfect, all the information were given in a clear way in a non pushy environment. The last part of the transaction (the generally stressful part where if you do not sign for all the insurances you are led to believe your car will explode on your way out and it will be your fault) was also smooth and everything was very professional. I recommend Toyota San Francisco very much! thanks!

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.

Ryan was very familiar with every feature of this CRV , even though it's a Toyota dealership. He was very easy to work with.

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.

Really enjoy driving this car. Good visibility, ride is smooth, electronics are terrific. Drivers seat back not adjustable, so long term driving not as comfortable as my Prius was. Ave 30 mpg hybrid

I didn’t buy the car but the dealer people they’re very nice I would like to go back to buy the car is good place

I have 17,000 miles on my 2017 Limited Hybrid. Car has been problem-free and gets an average of 32.8 mpg in warmer weather, mid to high 20s in cold weather. The hybrid system adds power in addition to saving gas, so acceleration is there when you need it. The brakes are good, but not as strong as other hybrids I've driven. Car drives very smoothy, but there is no feeling of attachment to the experience - very appliance like and boring. Visibility leaves a lot to be desired with terrible rear visibility and forward visibility hampered by thick windshield pillars that are far forward, interfering with the view of other cars and pedestrians at right angles at intersections. If it weren't for the rear camera and parking sensors, backing up would be a real adventure, hence the dents you see on the backs of so many RAV4s (it doesn't help the rear bumper is useless). All the safety tech works well. The pedestrian detection already warned me of a person about to walk behind me as I was about to reverse. Supposedly it has auto-braking, but Toyota doesn't make it clear. It may or may not help brake if needed. It will beep at you though!!! The first few months of owning, the driver's seat was ok... but has gotten more and more uncomfortable. An hours drive and I am in pain. I limp when getting out of the car. I keep a gel cushion now. I am not a huge or heavy person at all. The seat has a weird mix of support that is too soft in the middle and too hard and narrow at the hips. Maybe only designed for tiny people. Also, even though it is an 8-way power seat, it acts more like a 6-way as you raise it. The passenger side has no height control and is a bit low. The telescoping steering wheel barely telescopes... still too far away for long legged drivers. Cargo area is good, but the hump from the battery is annoying (the 2019 will be flat). The split rear seat is designed for Japan, not USA. The large part should be behind the passenger side!!!! The power tailgate is very slow and sometimes doesn't work the first try. I can open and close a tailgate 5 times in the amount of time it takes for this thing to work. And turning it off, it's still very hard to open. The tech is good, but could be better. Voice command is a joke. "She" can't understand almost anything you say, unlike Siri. The steering wheel controls for calling work well... but you can't scroll through phone numbers using them! You have to still press your finger on a tiny number on the screen... makes no sense. There is only two choices for NAV screen brightness; super bright or black at night... it won't let you dim to medium at night. Wipers work well, with many speed choices. Radio sound is good, but took some time to get used to the brassy sound and you need to keep most of the sound in the rear speakers. Only one window switch is lit at night, the door lock and other switches are a guessing game. There are no puddle lamps in the door bottoms. I can understand this cost-cutting on the cheapest trim, but not on the Limited or Premium, with sticker price pushing $40,000. Car rides well.... but the 18 inch wheels make you feel the small bumps, especially if you add a few more psi to the tires to get better economy. Would I buy this car again? Not sure! Maybe not. Not with these seats and not for what I paid!!!

My son and I came to this dealership to look at a used car. Hendrik is the quintessential salesman! Very professional yet personable, and low key overall. Just the right combination for us. We were able to take the car to our mechanic 10 minutes away from the dealership. The car passed inspection. Our only hesitations were the problem history of those cars made in that year combined with the price. We left to think about the purchase (and may return to buy the car). But we met Hendrik and would have no qualms about buying the right car from him. We highly recommend Hendrik!

Good safety features, plenty of room for people and cargo in a small footprint, sits higher than a sedan for better visibility. Hybrid transition is seamless. CVT transmission feels like a regular automatic.
