Toyota RAV4 • 2001 • 0 km • ₡ 4500000 CRC

This 2001 Toyota RAV4 is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age. Inspect for rust, frame integrity, and electrical wear — none of which the 2001 fuel-economy spec sheet will warn you about.

This listing falls in the typical mileage band for a 2001 Toyota RAV4 (around 15-20k km/year). At average usage, expect normal-wear consumables to need attention — brakes, tires, fluids — but no major-component surprises if the service interval has been followed.

Alajuela, Alajuela is a smaller market — comparable Toyota RAV4 listings are scarce, so this car can carry a small premium for buyers who can't find local alternatives. Be transparent about condition; buyers who travel for a listing typically expect what they see in the photos.

For an older Toyota RAV4 like this one, prioritize: timing belt/chain interval (ask for the last replacement receipt), suspension bushings and shocks, brake-fluid condition, transmission service history, and rust on the rocker panels and subframe. A pre-purchase inspection at an independent shop pays for itself many times over at this age.

Costa Rica requires SOAT (or its local equivalent) — basic third-party liability included with annual registration. For a premium-tier Toyota RAV4, full-coverage private insurance on top usually runs 3-7% of the vehicle's market value per year. Quote with two or three carriers before listing day; rates vary widely by Alajuela.

Gasoline pricing in Costa Rica is moderate. For this RAV4, expect monthly fuel cost to scale roughly with kilometers driven and the manufacturer-rated economy minus 10-15% for real-world conditions.

This is a private-seller listing. For a premium-tier purchase like this Toyota RAV4, the buyer usually pre-arranges financing with their own bank or credit union — get pre-approval before contacting the seller. The seller will typically wait for funds to clear before signing over the title.

In Alajuela, Costa Rica, you'll need the original title signed over by the seller, a bill of sale, a current emissions / safety inspection where required by Alajuela, a VIN-match verification, and proof of insurance to take possession. The state DMV or motor-vehicle agency processes the transfer; many do it the same day.

This is a private-seller listing — an individual selling their own Toyota RAV4, not a business. Treat it like any other person-to-person purchase: meet in a safe public location (a police-station parking lot is the gold standard), verify the seller's ID against the title before any money changes hands, and never wire funds before seeing the vehicle in person.

A 16+ year-old Toyota RAV4 is past its depreciation trough — pricing from here is condition-driven, not age-driven. Documented examples of desirable trims can appreciate; rough examples stay flat or depreciate as parts availability tightens. Set the price by recent comparable sold prices, not by asking prices.

If the seller still owes a bank or finance company against this Toyota RAV4, the title has a lien recorded. Do NOT hand over funds before the lien is released. Standard practice in Costa Rica: buyer's bank pays the lender directly for the loan balance and pays the seller for the remainder, with the lender's release letter arriving alongside the new title. Verify the lien status through whatever public registry Costa Rica uses (DMV / DETRAN / Registro Civil / etc.) before agreeing to a purchase price.
