      <title>RAV4-EV Sold for $70,000</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;There certainly a lot of excitement over electric cars these days. &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A 2001&lt;/span&gt; Toyota &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RAV4&lt;/span&gt;-EV with over 47,000 miles &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;#38;item=230254014549"&gt;sold on eBay for almost $70,000!&lt;/a&gt;  (The selling price listed was $89,000 but this was an illegally retracted bid and the seller confirmed that it was &lt;a href="http://five.pairlist.net/mailman/private/rav4-ev/2008/036667.html"&gt;sold for $69,850&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It was in good shape with only minor scuffing on the left bumper and had an &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HOV&lt;/span&gt; stickers so it can drive in the car pool lane, but $70k seems like a lot of money for an electric car with almost 50,000 miles. Hopefully next year we will start seeing brand new electric cars closer to $40,000.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;If you still are dying to get one, there is another &lt;a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;#38;sspagename=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123&amp;#38;viewitem=&amp;#38;item=330239561069"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RAV4&lt;/span&gt;-EV for sale on eBay&lt;/a&gt;  and the bidding is currently at $50,000.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
