    Carmax Warranty Issues

    Sorry I don't have an answer for you but I'll tell you that my "New" Volt doesn't hold a candle to my Rav4 (and I only had it for 2-3 weeks). Carmax by the way no longer sells these in NV, all of them have been shipped back to California.

    Carmax Warranty Issues

    It's already there. I spoke with a couple of Toyota dealers in the area and none of them would sell a Platinum warranty if you bought from a third party. I was really trying for one before going the Carmax route I'm picking up a Chevy Volt Tuesday or Wednesday. It's a lot smaller but it'll...

    Carmax Warranty Issues

    Purchased a Toyota Rav4 EV not one month ago, Vin 1799. I was so looking forward to it, all electric, and could handle my 50 mile daily commute. Everyone said not to buy this car without the Toyota Platinum warranty but because of the mileage and age of the vehicle it was not possible. I looked...

    Smaller wheels/tires

    Okay, maybe they've gotten cheaper, the last time I checked was for my wife's old Altima and they were $600+ for all four each time we would need to replace them. We paid about that price just once for 16"rims and tires, from then on it was around $400. As far as the comment about weight...

    Smaller wheels/tires

    I love my Rav4 EV but it's going to be pretty expensive to put tires on it being that they're 17". How much would changing to 16" tires affect mileage?

    ALL POSTS-No Motor Power/Power Steering, turned off on road

    While driving to work, got about 5 miles from home on the freeway when the car just lost power and I got the error message. Tried restarting 6-7 times but no help. Currently awaiting tow truck. I purchased from Carmax with their extended warranty and I'm still within their 30 day window...

    No dashboard clock?

    Found it yesterday, thanks. Don't know why I couldn't see it before.

    No dashboard clock?

    I've been looking around, trying to find a dashboard clock with no luck. I found out where to set the clock but still cannot find a display anywhere.

    "Feature not supported in selected vehicle"

    I just purchased a 2013 Rav4 EV. I was trying to access the charging station map and got the above message. Do I need to have a Safety Connect subscription for this to work? I have Plugshare on my phone so it's not really a big deal if I can't get it in the car. Also, I have my ipod connected...

    Still worth buying without extended warranty?

    Okay, then my original question still stands, is the vehicle worth buying without an extended warranty providing that I have gone down the aforementioned checklist and found nothing wrong. And taken it to a Toyota dealer to have them inspect it. Thanks :)

    Still worth buying without extended warranty?

    There is obviously still some misunderstanding here, I wasn't implying that you said that I could purchase a platinum warranty. If I could just get the following questions answered please. You said: The Toyota used vehicle extended warranty offered for your car: 1) Requires an inspection of...

    Still worth buying without extended warranty?

    Thanks for all of your replies. I fully intend to go down the checklist posted in the announcements section and linked to here. One question, you keep giving examples using June of 2014 when the car I'm planning on purchasing is June of 2013, I'm not trying to be difficult but a year can make...

    Still worth buying without extended warranty?

    No assumptions made at all, I called Toyota financial services specifically to find out whether there was already a warranty on this and for information about purchasing one if there was not. I gave the VIN to the rep who informed me that there was no warranty attached but that because it was...
