Replying to: wvgasguy (May 15, 2008 11:01 am) 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. [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!

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.

Replying to: eddie_r (May 21, 2008 8:07 am) jmm2402: You don't need to talk to "Randy" at Midwest Toyota in Hutchinson, Kansas. In fact in all the calls I have made to them, I have never spoken to anyone named Randy, but I have spoken to Mark, Jerry and another guy, whose name escapes me right now. It doesn't really matter which one you talk to, they will all give you the same information, and they are all very helpful.   When you call, just ask for someone who can help you with an extended warranty. They sell so many of them, the receptionist will know right away who to connect you with. Also, try to call them later in the day, rather than in the morning or early afternoon. They are less busy then and it may be easier to get someone on the phone right away. Otherwise, leave a VM and someone will get back to you within 24 hours usually.   If you're not sure you have the right phone number (and since the HOST is cracking down on things like phone numbers in these postings -- something that makes no sense to me when it is a business number and free advertising for them. How can that be an invasion of privacy?! ), just google Midwest Superstore Hutchinson, and you will find their 800 number on the homepage. (I'd say google Midwest Toyota Hutchinson, but I couldn't find the 800 number on that site.)

Chris, I am currently in the process of researching the best extended warranty for my 2007 TCH, which runs out of factory warranty in a few months. If you have compared your offerings to Mid West Toyota, Warranty Direct & Nation Warranty Corp., and find that you are competitive, I am willing to consider you in the mix - hence, not adverse to dealing via the net. Cheap isn't always best, from what I have found so far, and "reasonable" or "competitively priced" is much more attractive verbage to both the informed and uninformed. I am finding that the bottom line is not only cost, but thoroughness of coverage offered.   Dan

From what I've heard from the guys at Midwest Toyota, Hutchinson, Kansas, there is a big market for extended warranties from Toyota, at prices much lower than the average dealer is selling them for. Apparently, they sell zillions of them and it is mostly through "word-of-mouth" and on forums like this one.   If you read back through the postings, you will find prices people have paid for their Toyota warranties at Midwest. And when you're comparing the cost of the various Toyota warranties, the price is the only difference, so the cheapest price is the best price. Personally, I would be more leery buying a third party warranty from someone online, even if it was cheaper than the Toyota product.   I think the idea of selling them on a special website is probably a good one, but I think that forums like this work because it is consumers sharing information with other consumers and I don't think anybody wants it to turn into ads.
