extended warranty what does it cover and should I get it?

Deleted. Error.

 

Hi Karyn,

Here's the Toyota Financial web page describing the benefits, components and MSRPs of the different extended warranties.

In order to see all of what's covered, make sure to use the tabs on top, and any drop down menus.

Whether to get the extended warranty is completely up to you. It's been discussed ad nauseum here on PriusChat in tens and tens of threads. Here's the results page of all thread titles with the words "Extended Warranty" in it:

Good luck.

 

There's an interesting article on extended warranties in the April car issue of Consumers Report that might be worth reading.

 

Forget that site's priicing. The coverage is avalilable here for much less.

I did not buy the extended coverage and after reading many posts about what is not covered and whether it is a component or an assembly, I'm glad I didn't.

 

Of course, that's why I said it was MSRPs. The price here for any plan is around 45% off the MSRP.

 

I take it you thought the warranty did not cover much or they had a lot of loop holes?

 

"...and should I get it?" No. Save your money. There is no car less in need of an extended warranty than a Prius. See the April 2008 issue of Consumer Reports.
