6/100/$0 is more my speed, since it'll be about 5.2 before I get to 100...

I just picked up my new 04 pkg #9 Prius and did not know about the extended warranty pkg and paid full price for mine. $2132.00. OH WELL.
Live and learn.

If you're within the 30 day mark take it back and ask for a full refund...This is not an "oh well" thing, they marked up the MSRP by about $500 and now you can save almost $1200!! That'll pay for your first few years of gas in your Prius for goodness sakes. They are required to refund in the first 30 days if you ask!

I'm a low mileage driver. I would want the 7/75/$0 plan.

As always, thanks so much Danny for this opportunity and the great site!!

Danny,

A suggestion. Scrolling through an ever lengthening thread to pick out the posts that contain the details of the warranty plans and costs is tedious. How about editing the first post in the thread and summarize the plans offered and the cost for each. This could apply to several threads where PC has linked up with a sponsor to offer goods and services.

Good idea - I've updated the OP with the information listed above. As soon as I get concrete details I will post them in the original post as well as respond to it.

Greetings group,
It seems that my name, too, can be added to the growing list of snookered new Prius owners. When I questioned my dealer about what I read on this group,
the dealer drew a distinction between New and Certified Used warranties, and said that New-car warranties can be purchased only when paying for the car itself (the day of the sale). If I walked out of the dealership without the warranty and came back the next day, I would have to buy a Certified used warranty. Although less expensive, the latter would require my Prius to be certified, which runs a couple of grand, sort of a catch 22.

No mention of this distinction is made in any of the posts I have read, so at this point I am more than confused. I would appreciate clarification, as well as hearing from those who have bought warranties from other dealerships after canceling their first, over-priced, one. Thanks.

I hate to call the dealer a liar, but he's a liar...or seriously misinformed. The price on the one here is for the EXACT SAME WARRANTY he's ripping you off for. Tell him to give you the same price (or whatever you feel is fair) or refund the warranty.
