AWD Stick: 1998 Toyota Rav4
The little first generation Toyota Rav4 didn’t make a blip on my automotive radar when they were launched, but I’m strangely attracted to them now that they are 25 years old. You could get the little SUV with all-wheel-drive and a locking center differential and a manual gearbox to boot! Find this 1998 Toyota RAV4 offered for $5800 in Waynesboro, PA via craigslist. Tip from Jeff S.
From the seller:
condition: good
make / manufacturer: Toyota
model name / number: Rav4
This is a great little SUV that handles like a car. The Toyota Rav4 is AWD with a locking center differential to give you even more traction when off roading. It has an economical 4 cylinder engine with a 5 speed manual transmission and only 136,000 miles with A/C, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, anti theft, new PA inspection, & 4 new Hankook tires. A Toyota with this low milage will last you a long time with no issues.

I helped my nephew buy one of these over the summer. A rust free 220k, manual, awd for $1300.
Honestly, its a great little runabout that doesn’t feel old at all. He loves his Ravioli now.
