I bought my Carmy LE, yesterday. OTD price was 22,267. I took a warranty of 7yr/100,00 miles and 4yr/55,00 maitenance also teflon coating thing total which came up to 25,500. I am now thinking that I did a wrong thing by taking that 7yr/100,00 warranty thing as we anyhow have a 3yr/36000 warranty for toyota. Can I go back to the dealer and say that I want to take that off and adjust the whole thing ??.. I bought this car in Memphis,TN at Performance Toyota.
 
Thanks,
VJ

I'm not sure what you actually individually paid for each the warranty, maintenance or teflon "thing" but you should be able to cancel the warranty if you want. I believe in addition to the 3yr/36,000 basic warranty you also have a 60,000 powertrain warranty. Do you need a 7/100,000? Depends on your level of risk acceptance and perhaps your financial situation. Financing a warranty for 5-6 years with no future worries for repairs may not be a bad thing. However did you get a good deal? There are posters here that discuss that (and you don't have to get the extended warranty from your dealer) Shop for it, I on this site believe most posters who purchased the 7/100 have gotten it for $860 to less than $1100. I have not purchased one yet for my TCH but I do plan on purchasing one prior to my car reaching it's 36,000 mile birthday.
 
As for the service warranty, only getting a 55,000 warrant means they won't be providing the 60,000 mile service, which is probably the only real "big" service cost. You should be able to calculate what 55,000 miles of service will cost and see if you got a good deal. In 55,000 miles you'll have 9 oil services ($30-$40) along with the 15K, 30K and 45K services. My 15K service was $129 (includes oil service). The 30K is about $250 (includes alignment).
 
I'm not sure what the teflon "thing" is but it sounds like a high dollar, low value dealer addon.

My bad, I did not mention it properly. Besides the OTD price of 22,267. I took the following.
1. 7yr/100,00 maile warranty. -- $1495
2. 4yr/55 thousand maintenace -- $1095
3. Teflon coating for exterior and interiors -- $116.50
 
After I signed everything, and checked this site I relaised that 1495 for that 7yr/10,000 was a bit on higher side. More over as you said, its sensible to take this extended warranty after the 36,000 miles. I'll take to the dealer and take that 7yr/100,00 warranty thing off so that I can be content that I didn't pay more...

If you want the best deal, don't go to a dealer until you pick up the car
 
If you don't care about saving money go to the dealer and haggle.

 
I may be brain dead, but I've looked at these two comments all day and just have to ask, what are you trying to say?

4yr/55 thousand maintenace -- $1095
 
Unless this includes something besides the items I mentioned this seems pretty high. Do you get a refund if you trade? Unless it's discounted a lot why pay up front for maintenance you won't use for 4 years. Even worse, whay is there a time limit on this service? What if after 4 years you are only at 40,000 miles (who knows?) would you lose the rest of the service?

I have no idea if there'll be a refund.. and yes if at 4years i am at 40,00o i'll lose the rest of the service.. I feel pretty down after having taken those 2 extra things.. which i think are unnessesary now.

Conduct the quote/price hunt by email, fax/phone from all dealers withing 20/50 miles. Decide where you want to buy. Firm up price, tax/license $ in writing.
 
Go to the dealer, inspect the car, sign the papers and drive away. Max. time at the dealer - 1 hour.....
 
Comprende??

Fix what you can and then never look back. Life's to short to worry about the past.

Yeah, at least I understand what you meant with the first comment now. Don't necessarily agree with it, but I understand it.
 
BTW that won't work well if you have a trade or if you live in an area where there may only be 2 dealers within 50 miles. Not everyone lives in a city with multiple choices (of the same brand) nor do "rural" dealers fool with internet offerings.
