Replying to: kst1 (Jul 01, 2007 9:45 pm) 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   Dennis Replies to this message: msw66 (Jul 04, 2007 6:41 pm) kst1 (Jul 05, 2007 12:54 pm) dwynne (Jul 05, 2007 1:49 pm)

Replying to: dwynne (Jun 22, 2007 10:45 am) 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.

Replying to: gasman1 (May 18, 2007 4:31 am) 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. Replies to this message: msw66 (Jul 04, 2007 6:48 pm)

Replying to: jcm57 (Jul 04, 2007 6:38 pm) 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.

Replying to: dwynne (Jul 03, 2007 2:46 pm) 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. Replies to this message: dwynne (Jul 05, 2007 1:49 pm)

Replying to: kst1 (Jul 05, 2007 12:54 pm) Thanks, I got your info before and got this quote:   I am currently offering the Toyota Platinum 7 yr / 100,000 mile Extra Care plan w/ $0 deductible for $745.00 on the Scion xB, which is the longest plan available in both years and mileage.   I have not really started looking, since with Toyota/Scion you have until the base warranty runs out to buy one - so I have a while to go. Compared to a similar HondaCare plan for a Fit or a Civic this seems a decent price.   Dennis
#2019 of 2873 Mercedes AMG extended warranty by thaitravellr Jul 09, 2007 (4:33 pm)
I have a C55 running out of factory warranty in 6000 miles. I got into a crappy balloon loan and can't get out in one piece for another 2.25 years. I expect to put 70K miles on the car by then. I am really thinking about an extended warranty, but the dealer priced it at almost $6000!!! Is there a decent aftermarket add on warranty available, or do I simply hope and pray for 2 more years sans breakdowns? Thanks, Adam Replies to this message: greasykid1 (Jul 10, 2007 12:48 pm) thaitravellr (Jul 10, 2007 12:54 pm) metro123 (Jul 10, 2007 3:09 pm) greasykid1 (Jul 18, 2007 1:26 pm)
