New Gen2 Owner

Woo we just made a big change and traded our seemingly bullet proof 03 Sequoia Limited for an 05 Prius, Pkg #6 in Seaside Pearl wih a mere 43k miles.

This looks to be a very active and information filled forum. I have already 86'ed the plastic wheel rings and did the rear wiper arm mod because of it.

Probably opening a can of worms with this question but what is the general thoughts on extended warranties? TIA

 

Thanks folks, I'll get some pic up soon, as soon as the wife parks it that is. She filled the tank up today for all of $28 wow!

I think the finance guy about wet himself when I declined the extended warranty package after his sales pitch. Overall I didn't have a "totally violated" feeling when I left the dealership. However, while we were finishing up the paperwork I told the Sales Manager I was thinking about call the cops. He asked why. I said because I thought I was being robbed. He kind of chuckled and said the same back to me. I did my home work on vehicle values in my area before I went in so I had my strategy laid out. In the end my wife was upset with me, with me, can you believe it when we got down to haggling over $60. I'm thinking to myself who's side are you on here, just sit back and enjoy the show and shhh. After all its all about gamesmanship and sabre rattling, dealerships in my area are struggling to move units.

I love Darrell's mod page. I'm going to follow some of his leads on a few items to start with (window tint, lumbar support and rear bumper protector). Lovin' it so far!
