Paying $1,500=100,000 miles.

Probably better off setting the money aside and using it IF you have a problem - if no then you are ahead!

 

15 you're in a 150k state, and you plan on 250k, i'd say good. but you'll only have bumper to bumper for 12k.

 

sorry! i think i'm confused. there are many different warranties on prius. 12 months, 12,000 miles, bumper to bumper. 36 month, 36,000 miles, drivetrain. 60 months, 60,000 miles, pollution components. and 8 years/100,000 mile hybrid components in some states, or 10 years/150,000 miles in others. i'm not sure what your getting for the $1,500.?

 

Ripoff. Big time ripoff.

Prius is the most reliable car built. I have 100,000 miles and zero repairs of any kind. I do my own maintenance, which is very cheap, and the car is like new.

 

I call Bull Shite!

No insurance underwriter will give you # Years/100K miles of BUMPER to Bumper warranty.
Auto manufactures only provide a limited year/mileage bumper to bumper warranty coverage; mileage is well under 100K too!

Did you even read the toilet paper (extended warranty contract) the dealership is pushing onto you? I guarantee you it is not bumper-to-bumper as you daydream it to be.

Upload the contract or sales brochure.

 

If it includes the regular maintenance (unlikely at that price) absolutely.

 

Maintenance isn't that expensive:
First 36,000: Already covered
7 oil changes @ $50 each: $350
Two cabin air filter and engine air changes: $80

Unless you do all the tire rotations, $430 is the cost of 70,000 miles of Prius scheduled maintenance.

 

Just a quibble (I get your larger point) but you get a maximum of 2 free oil changes with a 2016.

 

I have done all my maintenance myself
Oil change $40
CVT fluid change $40
Cabin air filter $20
Tire rotation free

 

Of course, lots of us do. But for someone who doesn't, I wanted to show how little the "scheduled maintenance" is worth if you pay a shop. Not much...

 

The first thing those contracts say is that they don't cover the bumpers. Ha ha.
