Ext Warranty

[Bftfan]

As a noob here I'm almost embarrassed to say I purcahsed the ext warranty when I picked up my 4Runner on Tuesday. I was sick of my old Jeeps nickle & diming me to death and I got them down to $1500 for comprehensive bumper to bumper warranty for 5 years & 60k miles (0 deductable) form date of warranty purchase. I admit, I got it in a moment of weakness....it's cancelable within 5 days or something. My old Taco was fine until I broke a TC tensioner at 88k miles and then the fun began so I was probably haunted by past ghosts but now I'm wondering if I should just call and cancel it. Whadda think??

Cancel it and buy it online from another toyota dealership...Price is WAY TOO HIGH,....Our last 4runner we were able to get a toyota platinum 7 year 100K bumper to bumper for under $1000

Wow! I thought you had to get it from Toyota only when purchasing a vehicle from Toyota?

You can buy the Toyota extended warranty any time before the basic 3 year/36000 mile warranty expires. You don't have to buy it when you buy the car, or even at the same dealership.

I didn't need mine. Just maintain the machine:hunter:

Cancel. I picked mine up for around $780 IIRC back in 2008. Any dealer can sell you one. However, at 95000 miles, just take care of it and you'll probably never need to worry. I have areas and rear air and just wanted a couple years peace of mind.

I am happy to have mine...it is not quite but almost paid for. I would definitely recommend buying it after you buy the car. I didn't know that but so far it has paid off. I am a bit disappointed I have had to use it though. So far the PS pump failed....replacement covered. PS pumps shouldn't fail at 47k....especially not in a 4R. Also had a power lock actuator die as well. Both covered...might have the cable sub assembly replaced on the moon roof as well (depending on the surgery I do this weekend)....<O></O>

I hate to say it but the warranty has been helpful. I am a bit disappointed though...the quality and # of repairs isn't bad but compared to our 3rd gen just isn't the same. <O></O>

I have the same question and I'm not trying to take over the tread just thought since its similar question it would be cool for the to ask. I just bought a 04 V8 t4r with fulltime 4wd at 86K miles. I got a 4yr 48K mile warrenty for $1750. I'm starting to have second thoughts and I still have two weeks to cancel. I had the truck looked over and its in good condition. Any advice? Thanks guys

Cancel it. It's a Toyota!

depends on what you're going to do with the cash... if booze and strippers then keep it. if spending it on a nice weekend with your lady/fam.... then go cancel it.
