Question about Toyota Vehicle Service Agreement purchase

If you want to pay a thousand dollars for peace of mind then feel free. I own two 2012 pip advance and have not experienced one problem. One has 87k and the other 43k. Just oil changes, tire rotations, and cabin/air filter changes. I will never buy a warranty for a prius. Kind of negates low cost of ownership and reasoning for buying one of the most reliable cars you can buy.

Galaxy s7 Edge ?

 

The likely failure on the Prius cars would be on the HV battery, which the extended warranty does not cover. So I would suggest saving the $1000 and putting toward the HV battery purchase when you need it.

 

I paid $1750 for 6 year 125k for my 2016 prius.
I would have been really happy if I could of gotten it for 1k, the lowest I could get it to was 1550 from another dealer with the wrong color/style prius for me.
The starting price on the warranty was 2k from 3 of the dealers within 240 miles of me.


is the warranty the extension of the Toyota warranty?


I bought a used Nissan before, I used the warranty to get a new steering wheel cover (it was stained, $1200) and a bottom door panel (it was cracked), these two items were more than I paid for the warranty.

It is likely that you can cancel the warranty and receive a percentage back if you decide you don't like it. If the PIP already has 25k miles on it then you would lose 25% of the warranty if you canceled it right away (plus cancelation fee) ask them to make sure.

I would get it

(HV probably has the 100,000 mile warranty on it already, from Toyota)

 

congrats and welcome! hard to say without being able to read the warranty. i'm not a warranty guy, but toyota is pretty reliable. all the best!

 

If it was me I'd skip it...guess it's not Toyota Certified though? Used car you never know, but new or Certified I'd skip it.

Hey I'd be curious price I am wondering if I want to go for used Pip advance 2014 or 2015 in a year or two.

PS- Welcome to PriusChat!

 

I'm not bright enuf to navigate the pros and cons, just assume the extended warranty providers are in business to make a healthy profit, stick with Toyota's warranty.

 

that's a fabulous deal! i paid 30k after rebate for the base.

 

call troy dietrich, member 'TOG'. toyota of greenfield. 1-413-772-0989.

 

FYI, Toyota no longer allows the warranties to be sold out of state.

 

that's not what troy says.

 

I got my 2012 Advanced on May 4 and took the warranty. My friend had a 2006 and said that every time anything went wrong on it he had to pay $1000. It's just insurance.

 

exactly.

 

This is an old conversation that I am joining...from Ontario. I agreed to purchase the 2017 Prius Advanced Technology Prius January 28 2017 and will pick up it up in two more days. I read in the forums that generally the extended warranty packages are not worth it due to the reliability of the vehicles. In fact, I chose Toyota as a previous Toyota Matrix owner, due to the reliability and was sure I would not need an extended warranty. That was until I heard from the business manager that the technology package, with all the new safety features, could go wrong before the 160,000 km and the 7 years. "You know how it goes with computers" This added a hefty 3200.00 CDN plus the sales tax of 13% for 4,160.00. I was told that the maintenance alone up to 50,000 km would cost at least 750.00 and that was covered within the warranty (then expires at 50,000 km). It is not too late for me to back out of this expense that I had not planned for (and yet did buy the rust protection due to the salt of the roads here in Ontario). I would like to hear from you SOON. Thank you.

 

congrats and welcome!
complete scam. get out while you can. you know they are lying if their lips are moving.
maint. to 50k includes what in canada? a couple oil changes, tyre rotations, air and cabin filters and some inspections? $750.?
don't you folks get 2 years/25,000 free maintenance?
all the best!

 

I don't believe there's free maintenance up here. Not 100% sure of current situation though. Still, I'd say pay as you go.

 

Thank you, Bisco...With that experienced opinion (yes, I've read some of your other posts), I am pulling out of the extended warranty. I keep my vehicles for as long as possible so will start a fund for a battery replacement after 160,000 km. I was not informed about the potential 25,000 km maintenance potential inclusion so will check on that. I also was not aware of a "processing fee" of $399.00 that I see with tax is actually $450.87. How to get out of that?

 

that's a local thing, so i don't know. i believe it's regulated by state here, so maybe someone else knows.
