Please read this entire opening post before asking any questions that may already be answered.


Many of our members are getting swindled by their local dealers over the price of the Toyota Extended Service Contract (Extended Warranty in layman's terms) so I decided to do something about it.

PriusChat is proud to announce that for a price of $985, you can purchase the Toyota Extra Care Platinum warranty which will cover your car for a period of 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The best part is this warranty has a $0 deductible. It also comes with Substitute Transportation coverage at $50/day for a max of 5 days per occurrence, free towing to the closest authorized repair facility, travel protection if the incident occurs more than 150 miles from your home and includes costs of meals and lodging reimbursed up to $100 per day for a maximum of five days over the life of the agreement, and transferability to another owner of your car for a fee of $50.

How much does it cost?

• As stated previously, this great plan is available for $985, almost $700 off the MSRP price of $1650

What does it cover?

• Basically if it isn't listed in this short list <a href=\'http://www.toyotafinancial.com/pyv/extended_service_coverage/n_components_nc.html\' target=\'_blank\'>here</a>, it's covered under this service contract.

Is the Navigation/MFD covered?

• Yes - check out the list of just the electronic & computer systems covered here: <a href=\'http://www.toyotafinancial.com/pyv/extended_service_coverage/n_components.html#compare\' target=\'_blank\'>http://www.toyotafinancial.com/pyv/extende...ts.html#compare</a>

I already bought my car, does that mean I can't get the Extended Service Contract?

• Nope, you can buy it as long as you are within the original warranty period - 3 years, 36k miles.
• Bought your car used? You are eligible for <a href=\'http://www.toyotafinancial.com/pyv/extended_service_coverage/index.html\' target=\'_blank\'>other service contracts</a>. Contact [email protected] for more information.

A quick note from PriusChat concerning using our offer as a way to "pricematch" with your dealer. Basically, please refrain from doing so. Telling your dealer about this offer could lead to higher prices in the very near future or completely pulling the deal from this site. Please read the message from Troy, our PriusChat Warranty Rep, below:

"...If anyone feels that they simply must give their dealer the chance to price match, at the very least, give us the courtesy of keeping us anonymous so you don't ruin it for everyone. Just tell them you have gotten a better price at another dealer, and leave it at that. Don't give them a copy of this thread or one of my emails with all the info they need to go crying to their factory reps about how much money they lost because of us."
