extended warranty poll

[Boo]

Good catch.

Generally speaking, if one were to get the extended warranty, PriusChat (Troy/WarrantyShack.com/Toyota of Greenfield, MA) is the place to get it -- $990 for Toyota Platinum Care, 7 years/100,000 miles/$0 Deductible; and even lower prices for fewer years and/or miles.

But I think OP is really asking whether you will be getting the Toyota extended warranty as opposed to a third party extended warranty?

Actually I wasn't considering any 3rd party non-toyota plans when I put the the poll together. I was just polling to see who was buying the platinum plan from providers like troy instead of dealer from which they bought their vehicle.

Sorry about that. I didn't read the questions and the initial post carefully enough.

BTW, I ended up voting to buy the extended warranty from souce other than dealer when my basic warranty runs out, because I'm presently leaning toward getting the extended warranty and if I do, I will definitely get it from Troy. It's the lowest price in town, and helps to support this great forum.

told the dealer i knew a guy who would sell me the extended third-party for "under $1000" so he said "name your price."

yes, I tried "free" but that didn't work. i think under 900 was a good deal...

I got lucky. Harrelson Toyota in Rock Hill,SC offered free lifetime warranties on all cars in May when I ordered mine.They also had free tires for life that same month Some Toyota dealers offer this time to time and it is something I would ask about if your looking to buy one anytime soon. It is only and extension of the standard Toyota power train warranty but still...I now have much less to worry about.

Interesting - it looks like 2/3 of the respondents already purchased or plan to purchase an extended warranty plan.

I find it interesting that only 1/3 or respondents have purchased the extended. Another 1/3 will not buy it and the other 1/3 will get it after the basic expires. Another way of looking at the data suggests that 2/3 of those participating in poll only have basic coverage at this point in time.

I got the discounted Priuschat extended warranty, too. Note: For those who don't know about it, here is the info.

I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.

Once my regular warranty expires, I may get the extended warranty from a reliable source. I need to ask myself, when does my regular warranty actually expires?

I know my Hybrid battery has a warranty of 8 years or 100K miles. I will need to check my owner's manual to verify.
