Platinum Warranty 10 Year 125k. Is it a good Price?

[brumey]

Usually, the miles and time quoted is from new. I have never gotten a Toyota extended warranty so I am using others like Ford to comment.

I could've bought the extended warranty at cost and didn't buy it. I've owned alot of Toyotas and never needed it.

This my quote for a hybrid (Trailhunter)
Toyota Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible:
6 yr / 75K - $645.00
6 yr / 100K - $895.00
6 yr / 125K - $1140.00
7 yr / 75K - $715.00
7 yr / 100K - $1025.00
7 yr / 125K - $1250.00
8 yr / 75K - $835.00
8 yr / 100K - $1145.00
8 yr / 125K - $1505.00
9 yr / 100K - $1265.00
9 yr / 125K - $1665.00
10 yr / 100K - $1360.00
10 yr / 125K - $1795.00

The first 2 years of Toyota Care is usually included in those quotes so deduct 2 years from your quoted years and that is what you pay for. Example 10 year quote would be 8 years extend.

I thought the Toyota Care was the basic maintenance they include (Oil/Filter, Tire Rotation) for two years. Then the warranty is 3 years or 36K, and 60 months Powertrain.

Maybe the Toyota offering not only does repairs out of warranty but also includes basic services?

Sadly, the "included" oil change is not 5k so I will either pay for the extra or do it myself.

You are correct. Toyota Care is two years worth of oil changes and tire rotation. The extended warranty takes the warranty beyond the 3/36 to whatever you would like. Personally for me, it’s a no brainer and a fantastic “insurance” policy. Something breaks after the 3/36, Toyota covers it, no deductible. You sell the car, $50 to transfer it to the new owner or they will prorate your money back. I don’t want to pay for a $1k headlight, interior screen going out or a turbo acting up. Easy decison, for me…

For those saying "It's a Toyota, you don't need a warranty" well, that's why the prices are so cheap. They break less often so its costs Toyota less to warranty them for that long. I remember when I got my VW, the dealer cost on those plans were over double what these are. I think my Ford was similar but I don't plan on keeping that anyway.

Get the warranty after the 36,000 mile or 3 year. Why paid for two warranty it a waste of money for the 3 year unless you go past 36,000 mile

 

[brumey]

I tend to agree. Purchase later assuming the cost is the same.

this really does seem like a 'toyota salesmen' site.......buy the warranty - yes!..........add on the mods (to a $50,000+ vehicle) - YES!!.......lol

1. you should NOT post cost matrix in forums posts (especially tied to a name), it can get a dealer/salesperson in trouble with toyota usa or get them banned from selling out of state. dealers have complained to toyota usa about these people underselling them by a lot and cutting into the profit margins with 3rd party ext warranties or toyota vsa they upsell for higher costs.

2. remember toyota VSA only take effect after the oem 3/36 factory warranty

3. toyota vsa's start from date of first in-service date, so the first 3 yrs are wasted lost.

ie : 10/125k you actaully only get an additional 7yrs/89k miles out of it since it starts after 3yrs and./or 36k miles up to the stated contract amount.

I got the 10 year platinum one. I also got friends and family discount. My cost was a lot less then what you posted. Peace of mind for a new platform is what sold me

No, you have to work with the dealer. There's a bit of paperwork that needs to be exchanged since you didn't buy the vehicle from them.

I buy Toyotas because they are very reliable. Having said that every Toyota I have owned has had at least one issue that needed a return to the dealership for replacement. We did the 10 year for about $1500

Is Toyota different than other manufacturers when it comes to selling extended warranties? For example with Honda you can buy Honda Care from the selling dealer or go check a forum and find a finance guy at another Honda dealer who sell it for a few hundred over cost since it literally takes that person 5 minutes to complete the form online. Same with Mercedes, Audi, BMW etc. There is typically a huge markup for the dealer for these warranties and is a cash cow for most.
