Extended Warranty
We recently purchased a new 2010 4Runner SR5, the dealer gave us $2000 off MSRP ($34,817) and $7000 for our 04 Tundra with 195K on it. A good deal I believe. We were then convinced to purchase an extended warranty, we weren't planning on getting one. We put 30K a year on our vehicle and are thinking with that kind of mileage it wouldn't hurt even though publications such as Consumer Reports say they're not needed if the vehicle has a good reliability record which of course the 4Runner has. We purchased one for our Tundra but never had to use it (big surprise!), we got a 4 yr / 125K platinum Toyota warranty for $1360 with no deductible for the 4Runner and have 30 days to cancel it. Part of me says to cancel it thinking it was the dealers way of getting some $ back but part of me says to keep it considering how many miles we put on our vehicle each year.
I would appreciate your thoughts, good or bad. |
Well not going to tell you to get one or not, but this is what I would do if I got one....

That's the one we purchased, 125K is the max for mileage, we got 4 yrs / 125K for $1396. After 4 yrs we will have 120K on our 4Runner. Thank for the info though!

No brainer to cancel & switch!! Thanks again! |
was that the one I linked or a different dealer? I want to know so I can buy from the same person :)

Extended Warranty
No, it was Toyota of Greenfield (Mass), I have seen them on multiple forums as offering very competitive pricing on these. Note if you financed your current warranty thru TFS they won't issue you a refund, they apply that money to your loans principal & interest with no changes in your monthly payment or loan terms. I have to purchase this new one and then cancel the old one. Saving $585, considering going back to my dealer and pinning them as to why they could offer me that price.

I got the platinum Toyota Extra Care from the dealer when i bought my 2010 Limited. I got a 6 year / 100,000 Mile Platinum Warranty, with a $0 deductible.
It was $1,250.00 |
Extended Warranty
It would cost you nothing but your time to see if you can get a better price than that. I would suggest sending an e-mail to Troy at the dealership I noted, state what plan you now have and request a quote from him, don't tell him what you are currently paying. He's saving me $585 off my 4yr/125K warranty.

I purchased mine in month 35 of my factory warranty period. IIRC, I paid $585 + tax for the 7 year 75K, 0 deductible Toyota Platinum Warranty. |

About a month ago I looked at a 2006 T4R that had 52k miles on it. I asked the sales guy if I'd still be able to buy an extended warranty for the vehicle since it was past the 36k miles. He said "yeah, no problem" Shop around I guess. :) |
I just purchased an 8/75k extended warranty from Wakefield Toyota (Jerry - 800-530-5789) after talking to Shaun McKinsey at the PA dealer, who said he couldn't come close even with a group buy.
Wakefield couldn't lower the price for a group buy, especially as the newest price they had was $709 (he honored the $684 price but said he couldn't much longer). There might be better deals by $50 or so out there, but I thought this was fair and I wanted to get it in place. As far as needing the warranty, it was really just a question of can I afford $684 without much heartache (yes) and can I afford a new transmission or windshield or sunroof or xreas or umpteen other things that cost thousands (no). It may be a waste of money in such a reliable vehicle but I figure I bought piece of mind. |
Ooops! I forgot to thank LowPro for the great lead! Tanks!
