    Well, let's add it up.

    $1000 (more or less) for the Platinum coverage (available here on Prius Chat)
    $ 759 for eleven oil changes at $69 each
    $1400 for four services

    $3159 total

    You can save at least $30 per oil change at any of the grease monkey, jiffy-lube, etc places
    -$330

    $2829

    you did ok

    Actually, I'd say not so much. You could get the same package through PC for $990 + $670 = $1660.

    $990 7/100 Warranty - http://priuschat.com/Discounted-Toyota-Pri...acts-t3130.html

    $670 for the 4 year/ 55,000 mile Premium Plan. MSRP $995. - (same thread)

    Feel free to donate the other $700 to the site :)

    $350 for the 15K and 45K services? Ridiculous. And you can get oil changes in most urban areas for between $20 and $30. I pay under $10 to do it myself.
