#2426 of 2495 Re: Extended Warranty? [rburleson1] by 2006toy Feb 03, 2009 (2:19 pm)
Replying to: rburleson1 (Feb 03, 2009 12:15 pm) I would pass on the warranty. I purchased a 2006 4Runner Limited V8 new and did pay $1,400+ for a 72 month 120,000 warranty, which I thought was from Toyota, but was from one of these insurance companies. I was so tried after negotiating a great deal on the truck that I got talked into the extended warranty. I suspect if I do have a claim, it will be difficult to collect. I have 65K on the 4Runner and I've had no problems. I typically keep my vehicles (Honda/Toyota) for 10-12 years. Traded a 12 year old, 4 cylinder, Honda Accord with 187K miles, which was still running fine for the 4Runner. I was just tired of driving it. I do have the 4Runner serviced at the dealership and follow the maintenance schedule to a tee. It's a Toyota manufactured in Japan! Save the money and spend it on the scheduled maintenance

Replying to: rburleson1 (Feb 03, 2009 12:15 pm) You can't buy a Toyota Warranty on a used car after you drive it off the lot. The third party warranties are not worth the price of a postage stamp.   A word to the wise...any 4Runner equipped with a sunroof or the X-Reas suspension should be purchased with a warranty. Both are trouble items. One shock for the X-Reas cost $600.00.   I know, Toyota had to replace one of mine and I had the extended warranty!

#2431 of 2495 30,000 Service checkup Cost? by christiec6 Mar 02, 2009 (1:00 pm)
My 2008 SR5 is at 30,000 and I'm about to take a road trip. The dealership near me is offering the service for $671.00 (with a free rental for the day). Does this sound reasonable? Replies to this message: boats3 (Mar 02, 2009 1:11 pm) christiec6 (Mar 02, 2009 2:08 pm)

Replying to: christiec6 (Mar 02, 2009 1:00 pm) Ask them specifically what they are doing for the 30,000 mile service. Replies to this message: christiec6 (Mar 02, 2009 2:08 pm)

At a dealer I would say anywhere between $600-$900. Replies to this message: christiec6 (Mar 02, 2009 2:22 pm) newdavidq (Mar 04, 2009 3:55 am)

Replying to: boats3 (Mar 02, 2009 2:16 pm) Okay. I feel okay then. I feel confident I can talk him down to $600 and plus I'll have the rental for the day. Thank you for your help. I wouldn't normally go to the dealer, but, as mentioned, I'm driving to NC from MD in three days and want it done quickly! Thanks again!!! Replies to this message: newdavidq (Mar 04, 2009 3:55 am)
