Discounted Toyota Prius Extended Warranty /Service Contracts

[Stevep]

JUst got back the paperwork from tony for the Platinium extended warranty. 6 years/ 100k miles, as I drive over 20K per year. I didn't want to pay for that extra year. The price was an amazing $885.00 vs the dealers $1895 price. Tony said it would be a couple of weeks before I received the actual warranty from Toyota.
A very easy pleasant experence dealing with Tony. Highly recommend to others.

Sure am glad I started to read this forum before I got my Pri.

Just received my 6yr/100000 mile paperwork from troy ...very smooth transaction...nice and prompt and easy to deal with...im just waiting on toyota to send the paperwork from their end...thanks troy...nice doing business with you...

I highly recommend to everyone considering getting an extended warranty to go thru Troy at Toyota of Greenfield. Not only does he have a great price on all the different service contracts……he was prompt and courteous. Once I sent in the check for the 7yr/100,000 mi/$0 deductible plan, I had the copy of application back within a week. My only regret is that I didn’t get the extended warranty back when it was $985. I am thinking about getting the prepaid maintenance plan next.

Well, with 100,000 miles of full coverage, the battery and a few computers could fail at 99,000 miles and they'd probably be replaced at no additional cost to you. At that point, the extended warranty would be worth it.
With no extended warranty, those parts alone could top $14,000, per previous horror stories. And they COULD fail at 37,000 miles, since some have failed earlier.
Insurance is always a gamble, to take the risk or not. My car needs to last at least the 6 years I'll be paying for it, so if I spend $850 or so to make sure 100,000 miles (maybe 5 years) of that is less-worrisome, I think it's a good gamble.
AND, I understand, if I don't use it at all, I'll get nearly all the money back anyway...

The hybrid battery and the relay are on the list of NOT covered items, too bad, could have been worth it.

Actually, the battery is covered under a separate warranty for 8yrs/100,000 and thats the reason its not on the extened warranty you can get from Troy

Hi Danny:

Can you tell me a little more about the Prepaid Maintenance Plans? Is it still available for my 2005 Prius with the price of

$670 for the 4 year/ 55,000 mile Premium Plan. MSRP $995.

I'm interested.

Picked up my 06 package #3 today. Very honest and fair
dealership. The only point that I knew I would have to
stand firm on was during the financing part and being offered
the extended warranty (I had been planning on buying from
Troy). When the finance officer offered me the 7y/100k
platinum for $990.00 I refused it, mostly because I had planned
to refuse no matter what, and buy from Troy.
I didnt realize right then that he was offering me Troy's price! Wild.

So, after purchasing the car, I got the 7y/75K for $550!, which, if I
recall correctly from getting pricing from Troy awhile back, is
actually less than what Troy is offering.

I thought to mention this to show that there are other dealers out
there offering a good deal on the warranty.

Mind you, I was going to buy from Troy the whole way through, even
after the great price offer, but then I realized it would just be a lot
easier to take care of right then and there.

Something doesn't sound right with that...unless its either not through Toyota Financial or maybe it was packaged with something else the dealer was making money on. The only reason I could see them doing it for that is to limit their liablity if you were to cancel it.

Service agreements are subject to chargebacks to the dealers, so lets say they sell a plan that costs them $500 for $1000. and halfway through the plans period its cancelled, Toyota sends the customer the $500 (50%) and would bill the dealer for $250.00 (50% of the profit they made). But if on paper the dealer sells the plan for cost, theres no chargeback to them in the event of a cancellation. I have seen a few dealers do this when they sell the plans packaged with other things, they just throw all the profit on the items that aren't subject to chargebacks...like paint sealants or accessories.

Of course I could be all wrong and you found a dealer willing to sell something at no profit for some other reason ...but I doubt it.

Hey there Troy,

I thoroughly checked the plan, and it is an authentic platinum
extended warranty straight from the dealer($0 Deductible), but, I think
the difference is that they claim to be offering it only for the
month of December, so it may have something to do with year
end and the upcoming tax credit. This in contrast to you having
offered a great deal all year long.

But, get this, here is a breakdown of my car cost:

MSRP - 06 #3
$580 - Destination
$186.00 - Mats
$65 - RBA
$59 - Wheel locks
$299 - Dealer Doc Fee
7.8% - Tax
$370 - Title/License
$550 - 7y/75K Platinum Extended Warranty

Thats it!
