Is that because I'm so hard on my cars? ;) Should explain for the OP, I bought a used Scion tC. The dealer was trying to sell something like a 50,000 mile, 6 year warranty (perhaps it was 72,000 miles) for $1200. I found an online price of $680 at a Lexus delaer in CT (note, it doesn't matter WHERE you get the warranty, so shop around!!!) I didn't want to include the price of the warranty in the loan, or use any of my down payment, so I passed. I got a letter from Toyota about 4 months later, saying that since this was a "Certified" used 'Toyota', I was eligible for a 7 year, 72,000 mile warranty...for free. Sure am glad I didn't bite on the sales pitch... >>> Looking for simple online pricing for New toyota extra care warranty >>> sites like ... or other info.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Looking at a new 4WD highlander. > Thanks! What Sharx said: Bad idea. But, I think there's one exception: If the car is going to be owned & operated by a complete flake who ignores regular maintenance, never reads the manual & service schedule, and is completely incapable of seeing, hearing or smelling trouble ahead of time, an extended warranty might not be a bad idea. I know someone like this. Every 3 months, something serious goes wrong with her car, and it's always her fault. I look at it another way. Our Avalon is an 05 with 21k on it - we plan to keep it until wife retires in about 3 1/2 years - I got the platinum 7/75 for 619 or about 150 year for 4 years of coverage. It is a Toyota but made here - we've had no big problems but one service trip in 4 years will easily be 400-600. At 70, I just don't care to crawl under any more, I just do air and cabin filters and have rest done at dealer.

Insurers MAKE BILLIONS from suckers like you. It is cheaper to SET ASIDE money every year for the eventual and, for sure, eventual repairs, than it is to PAY an INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY MAKE MONEY ON SUCKERS LIKE YOU. Period. >>> Looking for simple online pricing for New toyota extra care warranty >>> sites like ... or other info. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> this.

For anyone with functioning neurons, no need for a Toyota extended warranty...Supras not included. There are 2 reasons someone might want to buy a factory extended service agreement. If they sell their car privately after the regular warranty is over, a transferable extended service agreement will probably make the car easy to sell. Or if they buy a minivan or similar car with power doors, dvd, 2 ac's etc and can get the non deductible 8 year 80k mile service agreement cheap on line, it would probably be worth considering. >> Looking for simple online pricing for New toyota extra care warranty >> sites like ... or other info.

It's all those motors, solenoids, AC, and electronics that can turn one repair into more than the cost of the extended warranty. OTOH what's likely to fail will fail either during the initial warranty (infant failures) or long after the extended warranty expires. A lot of engine related issues are covered for a longer period of time by default under the emissions warranty. Year's 4-7 tend to be pretty trouble-free on Toyotas. If you're buying a Ford, GM, Chrysler or BMW then it's another story. Enough is likely to break that the warranty cost will be lower than paying for the repairs. Just be sure that any extended warranty is the manufacturer's warranty, not some third-party one. I guess it gives some people peace of mind to have the extended warranty, even though it usually doesn't make sense financially on historically reliable vehicles. |
