    I've been reading the postings about the Extended Warranty (7 year, 100,000 mile), but I'm a bit confused. I just placed an order for a new Prius at a Toyota dealership in Southern California. They told me that the Prius comes with and 8 year, 100,000 mile warranty on the hybrid parts, and 5 years, 60,000 miles on the (power train?). So do I need a warranty? The price they quoted me (before tax) with Option 6 was $26,480, which they said was MRSP. I don't think that includes an extended warranty. I'm confused. Can anyone help explain this to me?

    Also, if there IS a reason to get one, I'm getting the impression that I can get it from anywhere and it will be honored by the service center of the Toyota dealership near by house. Is that correct?

    BTW, this was originally posted in "sponsored commercial" forum...that is just for commercial sponsors who have paid a fee to sell a product.

    Here is one reason:
    I understand the touch screen is about $3,000 to replace. It only comes with a 3 yr 36,000 mile warranty.

    To the original poster:
    I was in the same position. They tried to sell me the extended prior to me even knowing what was covered. I had been sold on getting one, but declined at the time, knowing I could get one later. After finding out all the hybrid stuff is covered, I bailed on the warranty. My previous toyota experience show them to be reliable, so I'm taking my chances. I was mostly worried about all the hybrid stuff. Maintenance seems to be no biggie as well.
