Extended Warranty

[harper7]

They were so happy with the free floormats that they don't realize that everything has to be negotiated with a car dealer.

Everything in a car sale is negotiable!!

I negotiated gap ins.,life ins., lojack and a 6yr/100k bumper to bumper/no deductible warranty as part of my deal to finance with Toyota . I was already pre-approved to finance with my credit union at the same 4.65 percent rate so to finance with them(They make almost as much in financing as they do in selling the car) and to protect thier investment as well as mine it would be included since they actually own it til I pay it off in 5 years.I had it on my last finance with them and never used any of it.

At first they said no way, that finance was separate from them and I called BS and got up to walk out. Suddenly they came back with the "mgr. deal of the day" if I signed now.

Can you buy the extended warranty after the OEM warranty of 36K miles/4yrs?

This is what I posted earlier in the thread.

Sounds like you can.

Ooops! I forgot to thank LowPro for the great lead! Tanks!

No problem bud! :bravo:

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.

Unfortunately, sometimes even Toyota 4Runners are not without problems.
Earlier this year I had to have the Park/Neutral POS Switch Assembly replaced in my 4Runner. This switch would make the reverse indicator in the dash pod light up dimly at the same time the vehicle was in Drive. It also caused the Check Engine light to come on with a code. This assembly was replaced under my extended warranty (~$300). The CD player in my 4Runner is throwing up "Error 1" messages when I play just about any CD. That too will get replaced under my extended warranty. Between these two repairs my extended warranty has more than paid for itself and then some.

FYI, since when does the Toyota Extended warrant cover the windshield? I think you may be mistaken on that.

Yesterday, I just bought a 8 year/75K zero deductible/platinum extended warranty for $650.00 which is dealer cost.

Where? Dealer? Online? Phone?

Nice!

I posted the price to give the forum a baseline for their pricing. Someone posted that they got the same extended warranty for $684.00 (if my memory is correct) and that's a killer deal.

The price that I received was afforded to me as a favor by the dealer as I was going to buy a new 2010 Trail at invoice cost but declined to do so.

This was because I didn't like the removal of the Torsen diff, no 4.6 V8, no six speed tranny and what appears to be a move by the factory to saving money at the expense of the overall quality of parts and design in the 2010 model.

I told the GM that if in 2011 0r 2012, the factory brings back the Torsen and improves the build-out of the Trail model, then I'll step to the plate and buy one... most probably at invoice.

I'm kinda pissed after seeing this thread. I did so much research on buying the car, and got a great deal on it.. but i did no research on the extended warranty and I ended up buying the 6yr/100k mile $0ded. for $1196. It was actually 1495 and he said "the best I can do is 20% off". hmm, seems like BS now. but it's too late, i already financed that 1196 into the loan.

I'm calling tomorrow and going to talk to some kind of manager and see what they can offer me, if anything. I still haven't done their "survey from toyota" that they keep calling and writing me letters about. They are urging to give them excellent ratings.. I will just threaten (in a professional manner) to complain in the survey and see if that gets me anywhere. Does anyone think I can get a free installed remote start? haha, let's see. or maybe free oil changes. In my eyes they owe me the 500 or so dollars they beat me out of.

and just out of curiosity, does anyone know if an extended warranty can be extended?

Was it the extended warranty underwritten by Toyota Financial Services (TFS)? The extended warranty by TFS is fully refundable within 60 days, after 60 days, it's prorated and a $25 process fee. I've cancelled the extended warranty before on my other Toyota.

I don't think you can get two extended warranties--the max is 7yrs/100k miles.

Also, you can always buy the extended warranty when the basic bumper to bumper warranty is in effect (3yrs/36k miles).

 

[Lowpro]

the max is 7yrs/100k miles.

pretty sure they have a 8yr/125k miles warranty now.

[schoeps]

so does someone want to share a dealer name with good pricing?

I went back to my dealer that I originally bought my warranty from to cancel it. He asked me why and I told him I got a better deal from another Toyota dealership, nearly half off. He played Mickey the Dunce and said he had never heard of deals like this, yeah right! I asked him if he could match that price, he said he would talk with his Toyota Rep and get back to me. I even offered him to give me the difference ($585) in Toyota products suggesting they install a remote starter and give me the rubber floor mats when they come back in stock. We'll see!!

Note: if you financed your warranty you don't get the $ back, they apply the cost to the principal of your loan. My Finance Rep failed to tell us this, he only said we could cancel within 60 days.

The finance guy at Toyota of San Diego quoted me a 100k warranty for $2600. I just laughed, told him I would give him a fair $900 and he said impossible. I showed him Troy's quote (which I will buy) and he then asked if I would pay $100 over his cost of $1200 and he showed me his book. I still declined and will be calling Troy in a couple of weeks.

What a rip off!!! They also were pushing and alarm without autostart for $750. Then to top it off they had told me the absolute best rate they could do was 5.99%. I should them my preapproved financing for 3.8% and they magically were able to match it.

Boy was the finance guy pissed. The sales guy was really cool though.

 

[Titanpat57]

I just finished up with Troy

What a gentleman, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I got the 125,000 ml for 1135$, my dealer was gonna give me a 75,000 for 2500$...what a big hearted b*sturd...lol

I also did a toyota Visa card which allows me no interest for 6 months, and helps Troy out a bit from a sales advantage.

Buy with confidence from Troy....if anyone needs anymore info PM me.

 

[Tedward]

Believe it or not the dealer we bought our 10 4Runner from is going to match Troy's price! They're going to issue me a check for $585 or apply this amount to use for accessories. I'm debating on which offer to take. I was thinking about a remote starter but for nearly $600 (dealer installed) I may opt for for the check as I can have a local guy install one for a fraction of that price. Other accessories (rubber mats, hood protector, sill protectors) being considered too but as of now are not available.

Take the check, unless they're giving you a discount on the accessories.

Platinum 6 Yr/100K Service Agreement

Well I guess I need to chime in here. Two weeks ago I picked up my 2010 4Runner TE and when I was closing the deal the Busines Manager. asked if I was interested in extending my service agreement. She told me the 6 Yr/100K deal was around $2000. but she could do it for $1500.I told her I was not going to spend a single dollar more on this truck. She said ok. Toward the end of the paperwork she asked again if i wanted the Extended Service Agreement, and that she would give it to me for FREE. That's right FREE, because if she wrote it up she would receive a $50 commission check from the bank, and she wanted the 50 bucks. I said ok and just received all my paperwork in the mail today. So there you have it....... It's all a scam to get as much money out of people before the deal is closed. I don't know if she really liked me or just wanted the $50 so bad. I know it was a very good deal for me. Don't let the dealer pull you pants down and turn a good deal on the truck to a shit deal at the very end.

I got the 6yr/100k bumper to bumper warranty thrown in for free also.That, along with Lojac,GAP Ins. and Life Ins.or else I was going to finance with my Credit Union.Toyota Finance is going to make money on finance charges on the deal so they want your business.I have excellent credit so they know that is money in their bank already. Make them earn it.

EVERYTHING is negotiable.Of course they said -NO WAY.... til I got up.Then they had the one time only manager special of the day .If your not getting up to walk out at least 5 times your not doing something right. This was the 7th new auto bought in my life and learn something new each time.
