I read the paper and check the lots fairly regularly and in my area
there are never any that come up for sale. They are either kept
forever, passed down within a family or sold by word of mouth,
individual to individual.

That said, I'm in the market and drove one at the dealership last
week. I was a little concerned with the amount of vibration, almost
like bad wheel balance caused vibration at a speed range of around
60-65 mph. Salesperson had no answer for this. Seems like I saw a
recent thread on this newsgroup about this.

I think I saw something about a redesign for 07 to trump the recent
changes in the Rav 4. Or maybe I dreamed that. At any rate I may
wait and see what happens there.
