Replying to: larsb (Dec 26, 2006 5:36 am)  Most of my trips are short..less than 5 miles to and from work. Tire pressure is 34. I changed to synthetic oil at 1500 miles. My driving sytle is average. I'm taking the car to the dealer tomorrow to make sure everything is o.k.

Replying to: itsaraid (Jan 04, 2007 4:13 pm) Hybrid system - 100K/96 months Powertrain - 60K/60 months Corrosion - 60 months/unlimited miles Emission comp - 80K/96 months Restraint sys - 60K/60 months Basic - 36K/36 months The hybrid battery and emission sys warranty is longer if your vehicle is bought in a state with Calif's emission system. It seems to me that the risky stuff is well covered already. I didn't buy one. Extended car warranties are generally the most profitable option sold by dealers. I've never bought one and over the years have saved more than enough to now pay for any possible post-warranty repair and be money ahead. Good luck. You're getting a great car. |

Replying to: lessachs (Jan 05, 2007 6:52 am) I don't have an extended warranty, but I don't consider them a waste of money for many people. There are many that might prefer to finance a warranty at $16/month than to take a chance having an unexpected $3000 repair at around 80,000 miles. $16 can buy a lot of peace of mind. Not everyone is in the situation where choking up $3000 would be easy. There is still toooo many things on this that are expensive to fix and I'll be surprised if Toyota has a 100% reliability record in 4 years. I'm hoping my Toyota is as dependable as you think, but I would imagine there are many people that indeed need costly repairs. If not then I would think that my dealer would have nothing more than a drive through oil change facility out back.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Jan 05, 2007 10:50 am) "What you should do: Consumer Reports does not recommend buying an extended warranty unless the car is particularly trouble-prone. Most basic warranties are sufficient, covering at least three years or 36,000 miles." Didn't mean to sound too sharp in my comment. It's ok with me if people are more comfortable with an extended warranty but for a Toyota Camry, I think its an unnecessary expense.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Jan 05, 2007 10:50 am) I figure the $600 I paid... gives me the peace of mind for four years after the 3yr/36,000 original ends. Thats $150 for each of the fours years. Its transferable to the first sale for $50.00 transfer fee. so thats a selling point. There are just too many things that could go wrong in this complex car... I don't want to pay for those repairs... since I will probably keep the car for the seven years Good luck on your decision. Gampa |

| I average 28 mpg US around town which is a combination city street and short freeway hop in California. Dealer told me I would average 36 mpg. On board readout said 24 mpg after about 1000 miles. So I complained. Sales guru at dealer show some things about driving a hybrid, and demonstrated coasting. So I did those things, but found it hard to coast uphill.Got average up to 28 mpg city. See Steve Young on TV claiming it gets 40 mpg. I am getting the distinct feeling of razmatazz. I know some say so what, still gets good mileage - but that's not what I bought. Nice car but not sure I would have this car if Toyota and dealer were honest. Anyone else feel the same way I do? | |
