Discounted Toyota Prius Extended Warranty /Service Contracts

[BeGreenNow]

First of all i would like to say hello and i am a new Prius owner (Metallic Grey #4). I have been reading up on here while waiting for delivery. I have learned so much about everything and was prepared for the hard sell of the extended Warranty. But what i didn't expect was that the finance guy told be there was a clause on the extended warranty, that if in the event that i never used it, i would be refunded the full amount - a $50 admin fee.
Has anyone else been offered this and does anyone have any info regarding this. he told me it was the Platinum warranty and started at 2200, but after i said no right away it quickly dropped to around 1500. But i was curious about the money back if you don't use it.

Danny, can you tell me if the prepaid maintenance plans are still available through this site? I've searched by it, but all the links I try (including yours on this newbie forum) are ending in "site not found". I've decided to do it if I can get the deal described, and welcome whatever you can tell me.

And thanks for your work on this great site - It's like coming home!

See article #829 in this thread for Troy's contact info.

I just bought a prepaid maintenance plan from him and it's very smooth. You can send E-Mail to him requesting what you want. He can be reached at warranty@priuschat.com.

I just purchased the Platinum 6yrs/100,000 miles from Troy, it was simple and fast.

Yesterday I have a crack on my windshield and there are no sign of anything hitting it, I went to the dealer and the dealer says it should cover under the warranty, but as soon as they realize the car is over 36,000 miles and in extended warranty they need to call and ask. And the answer is no, the extended warranty is not covering the windshield.

Can anyone verify this???

Regular and Extended Warranty is not Car Insurance of body parts, so no either the Regular Warranty or the Extended Warranty is NOT going to cover a windshield, unless you can prove a manufacturing defect, which will be very hard to prove.

Buying a 2005 Certified Prius with just under 36K miles, and just shy of 3 years old. Is the 7/100 warranty still available through this site for $990, or was that last year's price? Thanks.

How much is your dealer asking for for the same warranty?

The dealer threw out a 7/100 price of $1980 for a 2005 Toyota Certified Prius. I did not try to negotiate his price, nor will I after seeing the price of $990, which also benefits PriusChat. Waiting on the title to be returned from the previous lienholder before we sign a sales agreement.

Richard,

At $1980 I wouldn't buy it. Don't think that's a good insurance buy.

At $990, I think that's a good insurance buy.

BIG QUESTION: Exactly what warranty and at what cost is available for someone like you buying a used Prius? I don't know the answer. I don't know if that Toyota Platinum Care 7yrs/100,000 miles warranty is available to someone buying a used Prius. Maybe you should fill out that form and/or call Troy Dietrich of WarrantyShack.com/Toyota of Greenfield, MA ASAP?
