I just bought an 09 Camry Hybrid from Concord Toyota. I got the prem service plan (4X55K) for $1100 and the 6 X 100K 0 ded for $1300. I did have the quotes you all had however on the Toyota Finc Services application paperwork there is a big "For use in California Only" I can still cancel however this California note may be of concern. Not sure what the California note means.

Replying to: bob_graham (May 14, 2008 11:16 pm) When I bought my Camry Hybrid in Sacramento last month, I showed the finance guy the prices I had been quoted by Midwest Toyota, and he was shocked. He claimed that he could not afford to sell it to me that cheaply. Anyway, I haven't yet bought the VSA from Midwest Toyota, (I just keep forgetting to do so!), but I intend to right after I post this. Bob -- I don't know why you'd want to pay $1300 for 6/100K 0% ded., when you could get a 7/100K 0% ded. for only $964! Myself, I only drive about 10K per year, so I'm going for the 7/75K 0% ded. at only $619!

finally did make the call and purchased a 7/75K 0% ded That only takes you 15K miles past the factory powertrain warranty and ends before the battery warranty. I guess if a radio or power accessory goes bad you win but the big items are already pretty well covered.

Replying to: wvgasguy (May 15, 2008 11:01 am) I'm really not worried about my Camry's powertrain -- it's a TOYOTA ! (knock wood) But I am concerned about all the power accessories and expensive gadgets this car has, which are only covered for 3/36K. Since I only drive 10K or less a year, I will now have 4 years of additional coverage for things like that for only $619. With my last car, I had things like a power window motor that needed to be replaced at a cost to me of over $400, and some little sensor thing that was over $500. So at a cost of less than $13/month for those 4 years, I think it's pretty cheap insurance -- insurance I certainly hope I never have to use, but I think the risk is worth it for peace of mind. Besides, when I look at what isn't included in the powertrain warranty, there are a lot of things besides the stereo or power accessories that wouldn't be covered. It would have been a lot harder to shell out the price the local dealer wanted for the extended warranty, but with Midwest Toyota selling it for what I was told was "below dealer cost" (my local dealer), I think it's a good deal. And as long as other people think it's worthwhile to buy the extended coverage, I think they should know where to get it at a good price. So, I am very grateful for the people who took the time to post this information!
