Arrrggghh!!! Bought the Extended Warrantee at the Dealership...Help!!!

It's not my first Toyota. But it's my first modern one.

I totally acknowledge that I've insured myself against a low probability event. But when an ABS control unit costs $1500, a transaxle $3700, etcetera, I chose to insure.

 

Electrical systems have always been the Achilles Heel of otherwise mechanically reliable cars like Volvo, Saab, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, et al. Even more so now with the advent of computers.

I think at the $1850 MSRP (or higher price charged by dealers) of Toyota's best and longest extended warranty, I wouldn't get the extended warranty for the Prius.

But at the $990 price offered here, it's well worth considering. With the high prices charged by dealers for OEM parts and labor, the extended warranty will likely pay for itself one or several times over with just one claim for the most ordinary and common of repairs.

And as insurance products go, I think that on average if one were to purchase the extended warranty here, it will instantly become the policy in your insurance portfolio that you're most likely to put a claim on and recoup your premium.

Many of the posters here have similarly weighed in elsewhere. SOS, different thread.

 

The same old questions get the same old answers.

 

It's the nature of public forums.

 

I know. I'm just phishing for Pat Sparks to pay for Richard and me to go to Adelaide to continue the discussion.

 

LOL. Good luck with that!
