    What additional services should I look at for my new 2010 Prius.

    1. Extended Warranty (I'll get that through Prius Chat)
    2. Pre Paid Maintenance program?
    3. TST Rust Proofing ?
    4. TST Finish and upholstery protection?

    What are your thoughts on the benefits vs cost ?

    I agree with everything the poster above me just wrote. They wouldn't sell it if it weren't a complete rip-off. If you really want to protect your Prius just do all required maintenance at the appropriate intervals.

    I'd take the Nancy Reagan approach too.
