Based on the paperwork I have on the Toyota Extra Care of California, there are five coverage levels: Platinum, Gold, Powertrain, Toyota Certified Platinum, and Toyota Certified Gold. For those of you who got the warranties from Troy, can you verify with me which coverage level you got? Thank you very much! =) This forum has been very helpful in helping me buy my Prius!! =) Can't wait to get it back with the moonroof!!

Hi Bonmo,

You're getting a moonroof on your Prius? That's great. The one I've seen on a PriusChatter's Magnetic Gray Prius looks terrific. I'd like one too, and will probably get one if I ever decide to go back to work.

Anyway, I believe that Troy sells every one of the Toyota warranties. The one for $990 is the highest level one for 7 years/100,000 miles, and I think it's called Platinum (and not Certified Platinum). I wasn't previously aware that Toyota had a Platinum and Certified Platinum, and a Gold and Certified Gold. I thought it just had 3 levels --- Platinum, Gold and Powertrain (see link below to Toyota Financial website page):

I'm guessing that the "Certified" ones may be either a California thing, or something for used cars?

Platinum.

I think I might have figured out what the different warranty levels. I think the Toyota Certified Platinum and Toyota Certified Gold I'm referring to is for used vehicles. I will check with my dealer and then ask them to cancel my warranty! =)

That said, I noticed people have posted that they were able to call or email Toyota Financial to get it taken care of. Can anyone kindly supply that information?

I don't mind going into the dealer to do it because I'm still waiting to pick up my car, but I prefer them to not pester me with excuses of charging me a ton for the warranty I can get it from Troy!

When I bought my car they offered me the 7 year 100k for 1350.00 I told them no thanks I can get it for 990.00. They matched the price so might want to try that.

Is the price for pre-paid service plan $670 or $875 for Premium 4
yr / 55,000 mile plan w/ 5000 mile service intervals? I am kinda confused. Some post says 670 (even Danny's signature), but some others say 875 (as well as the quote I got).

Although there are a few threads about this topic already, but there is no definite answer. Is the pre-paid going to save you some money or just cost more?

Thanks for all your input!

I just cancelled my extended warranty at $1680 at the dealer, and
enquired about service costs.

There are 11 services up to 55k.
They are $70, except the 15k $200, 30k $260, 45k $200.

So total is $1120. Troy's quote saves me about 20%.

You might put the money in the bank and make interest instead,
but those service prices are going to go up anyway, and I like having
a coupon to avoid any upselling.

Has there been any thread comparing this warranty with the one from warrantydirect? I am specifically interested in knowing if it is worthwhile to pay the extra premium for this:
http://warrantydirect.com/secure_care.asp

As I understand, Toyota's warranty does not cover wear-and-tear, only full breakdown. Isn't it easy for Toyota to claim that the problem is normal wear and tear and decline coverage? I am just joining PriusChat and would love to be completely wrong about this.
WarrantyDirect's warranty supposedly covers normal wear and tear for most items except the exclusionary ones. Any good/bad experiences with them?

I was curious about this as well. I received a quote of $875 for the prepaid service contract. Did the price go up on this product?

Thanks,

I just joined this chat, so the following REDUCED price might be redundant.

Just before my 2004 Prius turned 3 (Sept, '07), I bought a package from a distant dealer - Toyota of Greenfield, MA, (T. Dietrich, Business Manager). He may be reached at 800-255-0212, or www.toyotaofgreenfield.com/finance.html

At the time of purchase, I paid about $985.00 for the 7/10/0 package (MSRP was $1650 in 2004).

I don't get any commission or anything out of your transaction, but I remember being very thankful when someone else mentioned the discount to me.

It is tacky to promote a competitor of a PriusChat sponsor, who helps pay for this site, in a forum titled “Sponsored Commercial Sales.”

That having been said, Troy Dietrich is the official supplier of the PriusChat extended warranties and service contracts.
