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.

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)

Replying to: lynche (Jun 09, 2008 2:01 pm) Maybe, if you go in to a dealer in the SF Bay area with quotes from a dealer like Midwest Toyota, but my local dealer in Sacramento said he couldn't come close to the price I got from Midwest.   If you can't get a dealer near you to discount it, it is really easy to call Midwest's 800 number and buy it over the phone. I received a receipt from them 3 days after I called them, and the policy came in the mail from Toyota Financial less than 2 weeks later. Replies to this message: jiggebob (Jun 12, 2008 1:35 pm)

I can't find the one I picked up. It lists service by milestone mile maintainence, e.g. Every 5,000, Every 15,000 etc.   They offer escalating levels of service for each milestone with corresponding increase in cost. The Basic 5,000 mile service is everything listed in the maintenance schedule (just as you listed in your post) that came with my TCH plus a few additional items for about $80. The Basic 15,000 mile service cost, I think $300, and the 45,000 mile service cost $400; each package of service includes more than the required minimum service listed in the schedule that came with the car.   In addition to Basic levels, there's Gold and Platinum. My dealer said the value of the service covered by the plan was something like $2,500. The only way service is valued at that much is if you go by the Platinum level of service. The Basic level of service at each of the mileage milestones totals something like $1700 if you paid as you go.   I haven't received my maintenance plan coupons yet to verify what is exactly covered. I presume its Basic service, so I would be getting over $500 savings. If it covers the Platinum service, then I'm saving quite a bit more, assuming that all the additional services provided are worthwhile.   I admit that when I agreed to buy it, I assumed that the TCH followed a 3,000 mile routine rather than the 5,000/6 mos. schedule so I'm not sure I will keep the plan, especially when I'm reading here that I could get it for 40% less than I paid.   Can anyone tell me if there are different maintenance plans being sold that correspond to the Basic/Gold/Platinum levels of service, and if so, which one is Midwest selling for so cheap?
