Today a customer of mine for a couple of years brought this 2002 RAV4.
On a trailer.

Here's my plan.

Remove seats and carpets
Well, you guys know what I'm up against.
Big money job

Keyed.

Just nasty...

Seats out, cleaned the doors some, will hit them again.

This one I'm calling a salvage cleaning.
He made a great deal on it, once I'm done he's selling it for a profit.
I told him not so fast. Lol

Pictures to follow once I'm done.

You better invest in a TyVek suit when cleaning that one. Who knows what contaminants you will encounter. Good Luck!

What is the Blue Book Value on a 2002 CRV?

Not sure but this is a Toyota RAV4.
For sell.

You have your work cut out for you KEVIN

I am consistantly amazed by how nasty people will let their vehicles get. What makes it worse is they are so lazy about it they wait till it is completely repulsive then they pay someone else to clean up their mess.

I know you charge a good penny for the service, but it's still just nasty.

###,Thats a crap load of dirt. I am an autogeek and I keep my car immaculate, but even a person that does not much would never let a car get that dirty.

He should have just kept driving and taken it to the junk yard, it's probably worth more in parts. What a nasty hunk of junk. I have a 2003 Xterra and you can eat off the interior. LOL!!!

Mine has sat out in the Florida sun for 11 years, basically washed every so often and sealed every 5-6 months, it really hasn't been overly babied. Like Bill1234 said, it doesn't take much to keep a vehicle looking half way presentable. That is just plain gross. Bet their house looks like that too, who knows maybe they were on an episode of hoarders!!!

Sure do,vin fact I almost passed on this one , but the money is just too good.
I'll have to juggle this one into the mix of my other cars I'm working on.
I did tell him it wouldn't be ready today, nor tomorrow. Lol

My one and only employee was like, oh man, wth!
