The median 2017 RAV4 in the Canadian market sits at $21,696. Half the listings land between $17,748 and $23,675, so that band is your reality check. Anything under $17,748 either has real miles or something in its history worth asking about. Anything over $23,675 needs to justify itself with low kilometres or a loaded trim.
Median mileage for this year is right around 119,594 km. That's the yardstick. A RAV4 sitting near that number at the median price is a fair, unremarkable deal, exactly what you'd expect to pay.
What the odometer costs you
Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $745 off the asking price. So a truck with 160,000 km should run roughly $3,000 below one with 120,000 km, all else equal. Flip that around when you're shopping: if a higher-mileage RAV4 isn't priced down to match, the seller is banking on you not doing the math.
Use that $745 figure to sanity-check any listing against the $21,696 median. Two cars at the same price where one has 90,000 km and the other has 140,000 km aren't the same deal, and the gap is worth about $3,700 in your favour on the lower-mileage one.
