Extended Warranty Worth It? by bostonoriole

Is a extended warranty worth it for a new Camry? My first reaction is , if they want to sell it, it must be better for them than for the customer.

Its good if you want piece of mind, I guess. It is also a good deal for them. I was offered an extension to 7yr/75K for $1668 by dealer. I found what seems to be a much better deal at another website that I linked to from edmunds...without breaking the rules I will say it was warrantydirect. They offer 7 yr/100K for $922. I have no idea how the details of the two plans vary.

Hi borstonoriole. You are right in one sense - overall, the warranty companies come out ahead, because more people use less of the service than it cost them. However, if you're one of the folks who has an expensive problem outside of the factory warranty period, you will come out ahead of the warranty company, financially speaking.
 
So yes, they do come out the financial winner over the customer in a broad sense, but the question of whether or not it's right for you depends on your personal financial situation, your level of concern about future repair costs, and your willingness to gamble on the reliability of the vehicle. You might visit our Extended Warranties discussion for more information to help you decide.

"gamble" description of not taking extended warranty by 307web

It is a "gamble" either way. Not only if you don't take the warranty.
If you do take the warranty, you are gambling that you are throwing the money away and never using the service or using the service less than you prepaid into it or that the company will be shady and try to get out of paying claims you do submit.

One more comment from the peanut gallery. According to other posts here on other boards (I don't recall specifics), you are NOT required to buy the extended warranty at the time of purchase. In fact, it looks like you can get a better deal, if you just search around on these forums.
 
But,from what I've read here, you can extend your warranty at any time during the current, standard warranty period. And you can purchase the warranty from Hawaii (if that is cheaper) and use it in Minnesota ... so to speak.
 
Of course the goal of the salespeople is to get as much of your money as possible...
 
FWIW,

Hi,
 
the dealed told me the extended warranty for 6yrs/100K/0 is $1297. I checked toyota website, the MSRP is $1300. It seems I bought it with the highest price, can this price be different in different toyota dealers? I should negotiate the price? And may I cancel the warranty if I think the price is too hight?
 
thanks

Fruto,
 I am also in MD and willing to buy a 2004 Camry LE by this weekend. Can you please tell me how did you get this OTD price? From the internet price of 355 toyota, the cheapest I get is $16289, plus TTD it will be more than $17400, not including the AB option you got. It will be highly appreciated if you can tell me more about your deal. Thanks. My email yzf1973yahoo.com.

I don't get it... A dealer sold an '05 LE for $1,000 under invoice? Why do you think you got such a deal, since they're still trying to sell '04s? Who was the dealer? I'll buy one at that price!
