Get a price sheet from the service guys, the ones they use to write up a service order. They're preprinted forms with carbon copies. 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?

When you get the paperwork you'll see it is the basic stuff as defined in the manual. Oil change, tire rotation and inspection. The only offical toyota plan is the one that matches the owners manual. I think this worksheet is pretty much a way for the dealer to make some extra $$$. Way I understand it even if you have the pan they will try and sell the other services....... Makes since if you have an SUV or truck but the cars are pretty low maintenace. I think I'm canceling. On the other hand I plan to keep the extended warranty 6/100000.
 
FYI you can cancel by e-mail extracaretoyota.com.

It's a Toyota dealer in MA. They quoted me $695 for the Platinun 7/75
  
I called Toyota Financial corporate to validate if the dealer was legit and they said they are and have been for many years and can sell warranties online. They sell them cheap because of the volume they sell. You can do the whole transaction online and they'll mail you the policy with your VIN#.
Toyota Financial corporate assured me all Toyota dealers nationwide will honor your warranty regardless of which dealer your purchased it from.

When does ext warranty period start? by lynche
Jun 27, 2008 (1:36 pm)

I bought a new 2008 TCH on 6/6/08. (Not a typo, new, not a demo, last year's model year.) The window sticker showed the car was originally delivered to a different dealership than the one I bought it from, so I assume it was sitting on one or the other lot for several months and also accounts for a big chunk of the 134 miles on the ODO.
 
Would the extended warranty start on 6/7/11, or 6/7/10? Or some other time. I've been told different things by different people: Date starts from the date the car was put into service/delivered to dealer, or the date starts from the date of purchase.
 
Not that it matters too much, but I've also been told the extended warranty starts at exactly 36001 miles on the ODO, and also told it starts at 36000 miles past the ODO read on my sales agreement, e.g. 36135 miles on the ODO. Which is it?

Comprehensive vehicle warranty expires at 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, The Platinum warranty starts at this point for say 100,000 miles or 72 months from the date you purchased the vehicle I think.

I don't know why it matters exactly when the extended warranty takes effect, as much as when its coverage ends. In your case, let's say you purchased the 7/75 policy. Your car would be fully covered until 6/6/15 or whenever the ODO reached 75K miles. At least that's what I was told by my dealer, the dealer I purchased the policy from (Midwest), and Toyota Financial. "Put into service" apparently means when it is sold to a consumer.

My warranty from Mid Kansas says agreement effective date is the date I purchased the vehicle.
