Default Just got back from the dealership - Warranty question...

I just got back from the dealership to finish off paperwork prior to the delivery of my Blizzard White/Dark grey V with navigation.

The Finance Manager offered a warranty that I personally haven't read about on Priuschat. For $1,895.00 less 10%, along with the Premium service contract, they offered tires for life as long as I had the car serviced at the dealership. Anyone come across this type of warranty, if so, did you take advantage of this opportunity?

Car should be here any day now.

TIA,

Dave

It would be extremely rare that this would be financially good for you.

IMO major ripoff. Premium service contract? The car only needs oil & filter changes. If you agree to this you'll be paying for those free tires many times over.

Thanks. That was my gut reaction. The amount of service visits certainly doesn't add up to $1,895.00 even with tires.

If you are paying anything close to $500 for those, you are getting ripped off big time.

You'll have a hard time convincing "someone" on this topic.....particularly one that already paid for it!

Some people are just too stuck on thinking these 30,000 "services" actually get everything done listed.

Some even think if you bring your car in every 30k for the dealer service, you'll get more money for it when it's time to sell.

Good for you for asking before buying. Others buy first, ask later, defend to the end.
