Reading thru previous messages, the price quotes from Midwest Toyota seemed too good to be true. After first verifying with Toyota Financial that the extended warranty could be purchased anytime withing the original warranty period and from any dealer nationwide, I called Midwest and verified the prices in previous posts. The salesman said the reason they could sell the extended warranty so cheaply was that they used the proceeds to offset any previously sold warranties that are turned in. Huh? Well, it turns out that people who purchase the extended warranty, and then decide to trade the car in within the original warranty, get back most if not all of the cost of the extended warranty, and this "rebate" is levied against the dealer selling the extended warranty. He also said that, for purchasers outside their dealership area (greater Hutchison area), they sell the extended warranty at cost (I bet they make a small profit). To summarize, they make their money selling it at a higher price in the Hutchison area, and hedge any potential refund by selling( over the phone) offsetting policies at cost. I will pick up my new Camry Hybrid this afternoon, will politely decline the "generous" offer from the dealer, and call Midwest Toyota. BTW - there is no way to get the extended warranty online from Midwest. |

When picking up the car, they said there was a sale on and I could get it for $1100. I declined. Yesterday I called Midwest and bought the premium plan (7/75000 with zero ded) for $619. Transaction was simple, give them your VIN and a credit card number and you'll get your policy via the mail. |

I cancelled the extended warranty on the TCH that I sold and bought a new one for my RAV 4. Here are the latest prices on the Genuine Toyota Platinum Warranty with $0 deductable: 09 Toyota Camry Hybrid: 6yr/ 75,000 Mile $514 6yr/100,000 Mile $799 7yr/100,000 Mile $964 07 RAV 4 6yr/100,000 Mile $654 7yr/100,000 Mile $780 These prices are from Midwest Toyota Superstore Talk to Mark or Jerry: 1-800-530-5789. They kept saying, "You can't believe the number of warranties we sell because of the web postings." All they need is the vehicle VIN, mileage, and the date of purchase. The whole think took about 10 minutes. No, I don't have prices on other models/plans. Howver, I'm sure they would give them to you over the phone. Yes, they are the "real" Toyota Warranty, not aftermarket. Yes, I've purchased from them before and have been pleased. No, I don't work for them, didn't get a special deal, etc., etc, etc. Enjoy!! |
