Discounted Toyota Prius Extended Warranty /Service Contracts

[Truffles]

I wanted to thank Troy and his staff for such excellent service in my warranty purchase.

I was able to fax my information which saved tons of time.

I received my official warranty card and documents from Toyota Corp within 2 weeks !!!

I would recommend this route to anyone.

Is the extended warranty listed on Priuschat as a members benefit still available? Four more years would make it about 250 per year for coverage but it could be well worth it at least for the peace of mind. Does anyone know if you need that extended warranty that you would be required to have it towed (their expense ) to the nearest dealership. That would be a nightmare. The Prius and other Toyotas are far superior to the quality of the dealerhips selling them.

I purchase an extended warranty and prepaid maintenance contract through Troy Dietrich. It was a great deal and a wonderful service experience. Purchase with full confidence.

I've tried searching this thread but didn't find an answer to my question. 800 postings are a lot to scan, even for an avid reader like myself. My dealer offerd the extended Platinum warranty for $1300. The attractiveness of this warranty is that it is completely refundable if it is never used. Yes, I know that means we might play the game of "Do I pay for this $300 repair now and get the $!300 back later?", etc. Is the warranty offered by Troy 100% refundable at the end of 7 years if it is never used?

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?

Just to set the record straight, WarrantyDirect is just the latest version of the corporation that went bankrupt and dropped car warranties on a lot of people. They may be ok now, maybe, but I wouldn't trust them, will only buy factory warranties from now on.

I was not able to get a quote going through the link but does Troy or anyone offer any of the lesser toyota warranties (the ones below platinum level)? I have a base Prius and was interested in a powertrain-only warranty if available for purchase. Something in the $700 range with no deductible or a lower priced plan with a deductible if those are options for 7yr/100K or similar.

Danny,

I recently purchased a used 2005 Prius with 20K miles which is still under warranty until May. Am I elligible to purchase the Platinum extended warranty ?

Thanks,

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!

Yes, prepaid maintenance plan prices went up in August of 2006

is there any reason to keep AAA if you get the "Premium Toyota Auto Care Prepaid Maintenance"?
