    Anyone here think an extended warranty that bumps the 3/5 year components up to 7 years, at 1865 dollars is worth it? 100% coverage, no deductible.

    There are many topics on this. It is far from 100% coverage. They Hybrid system and battery are not included. The battery is covered by the factory warranty for 8 years or 80,000. Do some research before you waste your money.

    Thanks for the input, when I said 100% coverage, I meant the parts the covered, no deductible, so that was nice. But it seems like everyone I have talked to about their Priuses, they all say they haven't had any problems 6+ years in so I am crossing my fingers. :)

    If the extended warranty is going to be a good deal for the buyer then why buy that POS car? Bank the $1865.

    Insurance companies can only make a profit if, on average, the insurance premium costs more than repair cost.
