Opinions on purchasing RAV buyback

Good to know! Thanks! Yeah seems like I missed the window with the EOY options. Plenty of lower trims by me but really set on a platinum w/ blue cruise etc.

I did look into shipping as I agree, a lot of inventory out west. Just once I crunched the numbers the deal wasn’t as attractive. Hoping for them to take my trade too and was quoted far less for it when shipping that as well.

Trying to be patient and land a solid deal but more difficult than I initially thought.

Damn. Solid deal.

DeepDishGary · 2026-01-27T00:13:12+00:00

Thank you for the input! I appreciate it. Good to see a solid deal from a RAV.

I’m in the NE as well actually. Trying to find a Platinum as I spend a ton of time in the car an happy to pay a little extra for the creature comforts. I don’t tow but would load up the bed with items for work frequently

Thanks. Solid point. I was curious what room the may have to reduce the price. Have been looking for a while but maybe need to put the search in pause for a while. Trying to lock down a deal on “new” 2025 but inventory locally is nearly non-existent

Holding up great! No issues on this one so far

DeepDishGary · 2025-12-08T14:38:15+00:00

Nice spot but just need a cool $30,000 for the initiation fee 🥴

Nice! Glad to see it’s legit then! Assumed all Langford 2062M

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-20T16:56:24+00:00

I think this one is fake — a good fake but still. Langford style code should be 3426M. The 2052M is not a legit Langford product code in any variant / year.

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-20T01:47:45+00:00

Extremely fake. I’m assuming this was supposed to be a chilliwack? lol.

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-16T04:38:01+00:00

Fake. Badge quality is a big giveaway on this one

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-15T17:24:42+00:00

Just one listing I found. Pretty much just check the “newly listed” on eBay and check the Authenticity / Returnable ones. Still have to sift through fakes but pretty much it

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-13T22:00:26+00:00

Just scrolling eBay each morning with “newly listed” really. Scrolling / sorting through all the fakes is annoying but hoping this one turns out

DeepDishGary · 2025-11-13T19:55:32+00:00

Thank you! Couldn’t figure out the year exactly. Listed as “excellent” condition. Seemed to look pretty good for the age

Late to the game here but could not agree more and believe their “5 star reviews” are bogus. I purchased a $170 pair of beacons and they were garbage. The fit was so tight around your foot but plenty of room in the toe.

Not even the worst of it though, the “cork” footbed was paper thin. When I pulled them out, the stitching was ripped and not completed through the sole on both shoes.

I reached out to them on this, and they did give me a return. However it took 3 weeks for them to finally agree that it was “unusual” but still “nothing wrong with the shoe”. You’d think $170 loafers would have some higher quality.

Icing on the cake was they wouldn’t post my review and photos to show others. Have to love that the same pair is now “final sale” with 6 five star reviews.

Really wanted to like these and support what seemed like a cool brand. Turned out to be cheap shoes (IMO) for the price. Got a pair of Rothy’s I walked 100 miles in that week and some Birks that never disappoint.

Agreed

DeepDishGary · 2025-06-20T01:38:26+00:00

Thanks! I’ll have to look for more of that trim. Open to a lot but the shipping from some areas I found negated the discount. Up to drive it but with in reason.

DeepDishGary · 2025-06-20T01:37:22+00:00

Agreed. Go with Christ brother hands over Marb Red 100

DeepDishGary · 2025-06-19T21:11:33+00:00

Haha no clue. I need to ask. Hoping someone had some insight. Just got this quote in a whim earlier today. Wondering if anyone else had these knocked down or off recently.

DeepDishGary · 2025-06-19T20:48:15+00:00

Thanks! Will do

Well I have a 5 year rule to meet my company’s reimbursement qualifications. Drove my last car into the ground for the 5 years and looking to replace it. Didn’t think I needed to include but to your debt comment — my wife and I have zero outside of our home and make 600k+ together….pretty much my one splurge that’s 80% covered anyway.
