Discounted Toyota Prius Extended Warranty /Service Contracts

[Danny]

... but this forum is by far the most active and i think that is indicative of the level of concern, care and cordially inviting atmosphere.

it will always be true that the people are what really makes any forum, but in this case, i think Danny and the mods make a huge difference.

That's really a great thing for you to say, Dave. It really means a lot to hear feedback like that. I am sure that the mods will agree with me when I say that it is members like you that make this an easy & enjoyable site to maintain on a day-to-day basis.

Thanks to all.

My dealer in Ann Arbor, MI wants $1400 or so for the 7/100.

I'd be interested in a group buy, or whatever you are thinking of doing to get us a lower cost.

Howdy,
For everyone's information, I traded in my wife's car, a 2002 Saturn SL2, which we had owned for 2 1/2 years, when we purchsed the second 2004 Toyota Prius for my wife. Her car had 18,130 miles on it. We also had purchased the longest extended service plan offered by Saturn, which was a 6 year, 100,000 mile, $0.00 deductible. The cost when we bought the Saturn Service Plan was $1935.00 through the dealer. When we traded in the Saturn, we cancelled the extended service plan, with 3 1/2 years remaining on the plan, and got a $1077.95 refund check for the prorated portion of the extended warranty cancellation. With that money, we purchsed the 7 year extended warranty, 100,000 miles, $0.00 deductible, from Troy, at $985.00 and still had almost a $100.00 after the cancellation of the Saturn extended Service plan, and applying the money to the Toyota Service Plan. Considering the new technology, the many expensive computer components, etc on the 2004 Prius, not to mention that it is the first year for the Second Generation Hybrid with Synergy Drive; I think $985.00 is an excellent value, and a very worthwhile purchase considering the high end cost of some of the 2004 Prius components.

Best of luck to all,

Today, when I picked up my Prius I was offered 6 yr/75K/0 for $780 (Plus 6% tax.) That seems like a reasonable price, though a little shorter than what people are typically talking about here.

Any word on how close we are to this?

OUr Prius is due is two weeks and I want to have something to reply to our rales person when he brings up the extended warranty.

:idea:

no worries. you can buy the extended warranty anytime within the 3 year warranty period, just tell him you'll be doing that, unless he can match the price of other dealerships. :wink:

How about "no thanks".

The price will be $985 for the Toyota 7/100/$0 plan - I can get other prices for you all if you are interested.

We are also establishing a partnership with www.WarrantyDirect.com for our members to be able to get $75 (don't quote me on this, I don't have my documentation in front of me) off of the price WarrantyDirect quotes you.

I will have much more details in a few days after I uncover my computer from all of the moving boxes and get it fired up so I have my Outlook back up.

Danny,
Thanks for checking into this. I would be interested in the 6/100/$0 plan.
