Rs 48m RAV4 From the Agent vs a Reconditioned One for Half — Which Would You Actually Buy?

Toyota Lanka just unveiled the all-new RAV4 at its "Unlocked" event in Wattala, tropicalized for our roads, with brand-new pricing reportedly sitting around Rs 48-50 million. Meanwhile a reconditioned RAV4 from Japan, a few years old, can land here for roughly half that. The agent-buyer case: full manufacturer warranty, genuine parts on tap, proper service history from day one, and a resale value that holds because buyers trust the paperwork. The reconditioned-buyer case: you get a nearly-as-new SUV, sometimes with lower mileage than you'd expect, pocket Rs 20-25 million, and still have cash left for five years of fuel and servicing. At this price gap, is the sole agent's peace of mind actually worth 2x the money, or is that premium mostly paying for a badge and a showroom? Has anyone here bought brand new from an agent and felt it was worth it, or regretted not going reconditioned? Tell us what you actually paid and what you'd choose again. ඔයාලා මේකට මොනවද කියන්නේ - නියම ඒජන්සි එකෙන් ගන්නද, නැත්නම් රිකන්ඩිෂන් එකක් ගන්නද?
