Replying to: bob_graham (May 14, 2008 11:16 pm) I just spoke with Toyota Financial Services and was told I can purchase an extended warranty (Vehicle Service Agreement) or prepaid maintenance plan from any dealer, anywhere in the continental US. The customer service rep. assured me that any wording like "For use in California Only" does not affect the validity of the policy. (That particular phrase just means that particular form cannot be used anywhere else.) She told me I can purchase a car from a dealer in California and the VSA from a dealer in Kansas -- no problem!   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. Replies to this message: mayday1951 (May 15, 2008 3:28 pm)

Replying to: bob_graham (May 14, 2008 11:16 pm) I got the prem service plan (4X55K) for $1100   That's 3 major services / inspections (at about $150 each and 8 oil changes at about $30) plus you pay upfront instead of over say 2 to 3 years. Not much of a return on that investment.

I guess if a radio or power accessory goes bad you win but the big items are already pretty well covered. [wvgasguy]   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!
#141 of 205 Thanks for the info by bob_graham May 15, 2008 (9:06 pm)
Can you cancel through Toyota Financial so that I do not have to go back to the dealer?   I can always buy the warranty later. As far as the service plan, I'm thinking cash as you go is the best way to go so I plan to cancel the service agreement.   Once it is all canceled I'll then buy a new extended warranty plan.   FYI - The car was an 09 - with the UP package and floor and trunk mats. Black with tan inside. Factory Sticker was $27,359 paid $23,995 plus tax and lisc - Concord Toyota.   I went to Walnut Creek Customs and they ordered and installed the factory Sirius at 1/2 the price of the dealer. Also had WC Customs tint the windows, install clear bra and strip and seal the paint. The car looks awesome.   I hear the San Francisco area dealers now have the TCH's marked up $3K to 5K over sticker. They are selling them before they arrive at the dealer. I see a lot of new ones going into San Francisco everyday. The $4+ gal is driving the market. Glad we bought ours at the end of April.
