#146 of 205 Re: anyone interested in buying warranties on the net? [cclement] by downwind May 22, 2008 (1:12 pm)
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.
#149 of 205 A reminder by pf_flyer HOST May 22, 2008 (2:23 pm)
The forums cannot be used to buy or sell anything so please don't start any transactions here. Any postings along those lines will have to be removed, so I thought a little advance warning might be in order!

Well, apparently some of the posts have been removed by the Host because they had too much information on them (phone numbers), so some of the ones that had prices are no longer available.   I already bought my warranty from Midwest Toyota for my new 2008 Camry Hybrid, and I got the Platinum 7/75, 0% ded. for $619. I would have purchased the 7/100 for $964, but I only drive about 10K a year, so I didn't need the extra miles.   I hope that helps some.
#151 of 205 Toyota Autocare Prepaid Maintenance by bob_graham Jun 06, 2008 (10:55 pm)
Has anyone bought a prepaid maintenance plan? I did here is the info on what I received in the mail. 1. The Camry hybrid does not require much - oil change and tire rotation - lube of key chassis parts ( not sure what that means ) 19 point inspection - 11 times / every 5000 miles 2. At 15K and 45K clean cabin air filter 3. At 30K replace cabin air filter, engine air filter,     inspect ball joints, brakes lines hoses etc. note inspect, says nothing about     replace.... Seems like they do a bunch of inspections.   For $1100, or $100 per visit.   Is this a so so deal even at SF Bay Area prices?

Replying to: bob_graham (Jun 06, 2008 10:55 pm) I don't know about SF Bay Area prices, but $1100 is a lot to pay for the prepaid maintenance program. MIdwest Toyota sells it for hundreds less than that! I forget what the price was because I decided against it after figuring out what it would cover and finding that it was no bargain. In fact, the salesman at Midwest actually told me it wasn't worth it, and he had nothing to gain by giving up the sale!

Replying to: bob_graham (Jun 06, 2008 10:55 pm) In the Bay Area, I doubt you'll be able to average less than $100 per visit for the service they're giving. But of course you're prepaying, so that changes the calculation.   I would question one item. Toyota calls for a cleaning the cabin air filter at 15K, replacement at 30K. After 15K your cabin air filter will need replacement, not cleaning. It will be dirty and it doesn't clean well, either. In any case, the filter is easily changed by the owner in a few minutes.
#155 of 205 Who else sells Toyota Ext Wty's for cheap? by lynche Jun 09, 2008 (2:01 pm)
The only dealer I've read about on this message board is Midwest Toyota of Hutchinson Kansas. Is there a dealer in San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley) willing to discount warranties? Replies to this message: mayday1951 (Jun 09, 2008 7:11 pm) jiggebob (Jun 12, 2008 1:35 pm)
