Does the extended warranty cover or not cover the MFD? What about other expensive items? I am assuming the hybrid batteries are covered at least until 100,000 miles. Batteries are listed under exclusions but am I correct this is just he regular battery Service plug is also listed under exclusions. What is it? I need to make up my mind by Monday |

If I didn't have the EW, it would've been an approximately $700 (remanufactured MFD) repair. I paid $685 (7/75K) for the EW, so I'm ahead. Last edited by Mauison; 01-13-2008 at 03:22 AM. |

While the amount is good, you can get the warranty here an PriusChat for somewhat less. | |

My Car: 2008 Prius Package: #6 Touring Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | I just bought my Prius on 1/24/08 for $1000.00 over invoice so the dealer decided to stick it to me on the Platinum EW and I didn't know any better so I signed for $1485.00 (that was before I found out about this site). I posted about it on priusonline and richard schumacher posted about the link here at priuschat. I joined here and used the link for a quote and it was $990.00 so I called my dealer and told him I wanted to cancel the warranty since I could get it for less (you have 30 days for 100% cancellation). The dealer has decided to match the $990.00 and redo the contract, I just have to go in and pick up my refund check and sign the new contract. Important note: I didn't tell the dealer WHERE I could get the other EW from, just that it was from a dealer. If a lot of dealers find out where this is coming from, they will whine to toyota and have it stopped.

It all depends on how much profit they plan to make from you. I am sure Troy is not losing money sell you EW at $990! It just means your dealer was planning to make too much! I just bought a Mazda CX-9. The financial guy tried (of course) to sell me EW for $2100 (7yr/100K). I told him I got my Prius EW for $990 (and he knows Prius is complicated). He couldn't believe it. Naturally, he knew I have "my sources", so he stopped trying to sell me ANYTHING. It saved me a lot of effort of saying "No!".
