    The dealer is telling me that the certified Platinum care warranty also known as Toyota extra care is only available on a vehicle that is still within its original 3/36 warranty. After that its NOT a factory backed program.

    Is there a difference? :confused:

    You can only buy a Toyota warranty while the car is under its original factory warranty. After that, it can only be an aftermarket warranty. These are pretty much worthless.
