15 Used SUVs and Crossovers You Should Avoid Buying at All Costs

Toyota RAV4

Years: 2006-2008

Toyotas are generally some of the most reliable cars, and so is their best-sold Crossover/SUV, the RAV4. However, if there are model years to avoid when shopping for a used RAV4, those would be the 2006, 2007 and 2008. Problem? Excessive oil consumption. Of course, Toyota will tell you that it’s nothing serious or even normal behavior, but running through a quart of oil on every 1,000 or so miles can’t be normal. It may be caused by defective piston rings, but only thing Toyota has done so far is to issue a TSB to their dealerships. This still doesn’t mean your vehicle will be covered by full warranty.
