I'm thinking about buying a 2014 model that is still within its 5yr/60k drivetrain warranty and exporting to Norway.
The plan is to:
1. do a full inspection by a toyota EV specialist in California,
2. do software updates, recall work, & get any parts replaced under warranty (motor whine/heater),
3. install the JdeMO charger,
4. export it.
I have read most of the posts on this forum, and understand the failure modes and their costs.
There obviously is no warranty on the RAV once it leaves North America.
with these precautions is this still way too risky? Forum seems to all agree to never buy without warranty.
