Yes there is a reinsurer. I checked with MB re an extended warranty before I bought this one and was told there was NO factory EW. Only when you buy the car can you buy one and the price was VERY HIGH for a short time. Only an aftermarket through the dealer and the price on that was MUCH higher and for a SHORTER time.
I plan to keep this car indefinately so this was my best alternative after I checked out many other sources. So far no problems with the car----it will soon be 3 yrs old.
Great car!

Could anybody point to good place to buy the Toyota Extended Warranty? We just bought a RAV4 in California and are looking at getting an extended warranty on it. Thanks!

What you want is called "Toyota Extra Care" and can be purchased from any Toyota dealer. While I can point you at several CHEAP online HondaCare dealers, I can't tell you the best place to buy for a Toyota or Scion.
Google up Toyota Extra Care and start getting quotes. One that came up for me is this link and they want $1,055 for a $0 deductible platinum 7yr/100k mile plan.
I would only get the premium, as you don't want to pay all that money and later have them tell you some key engine part is needed and is not covered. The site I linked (and many others) show was is covered with each plan - premium covers the cat, exhaust gaskets, air valves, etc that the lesser plans do not.
When you find the best place, report back - I have a Scion xB and might want to buy coverage for it at some point

I'm an ex Chrysler Corp. employee and I worked in the service side of a regional office. I saw and heard the complaints of how dealers sold, or people picked up extended warranties that were not OEM backed warranties. Many many times I heard of the companies going BK and there was nothing that could be done, or it was such a hassle to get a claim paid that people just gave up. YES OEM contracts will cost more in many cases, but that's what you get in return for a stable company that will always be there to fulfill the agreement. Shop the Internet and do a search for whatever make your car is (example: honda extended warranties) - many times you'll find a real dealer that is selling the exact OEM warranty over the Internet at a steep discount. They mark up the warranty a few $$ over cost and sell tons of them. It's a simple volume business for them, just a paperwork process and a stamp. You'll be glad you did the research and have an OEM backed contract years from now.

I have a 2004 Jaguar X-Type, 24,000 miles. What extended warranty plan would you recommend? Do you know of any "honest" extended warranty companies? Reading through this forum, I just don't know who to trust.

As a start you should get the name of the plan Jaguar sells at their dealerships. Either go to the Jag website, or contact you local dealer and ask them about the coverage plan that is backed by Jaguar - they all 'names' i.e. Honda Care is the factory backed Honda plan. If the dealer is close to you stop in and get a brochure and read what options are available - 'silver' 'gold' 'platinum' - look at the time/mileage that you figure you'll keep the car, and then select the deductible. I ALWAYS recommend the $0 deductible. There is usually a very minimum up-charge for the $0 deduct vs. the $50 or $100 deduct. If you have a $100 you are more apt not to bring you car in when you hear a noise or something acting a little different, you know you'll owe them $100 is the repair is over $101. With a $0 deduct, ever creak, noise, or driving performance issue is something you won't hesitate to bring it in and have checked out. THE FACTORY BACKED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

Dennis,
I was on a RAV4 owners website- www.rav4world.com and there is an active thread on Toyota extended warranties in the "4.3 general Forum". Anyhow, lot of people have bought extended warranty (Platinum Plan) from Toyota of Greenfield in Greenfield, MA. 7 yrs/100 K miles for $805 with 0 deductible.
Since I cannot post the contact info here, anyone interested can check out the above website and the thread or do a search on that site.
