many times these things have a buy back protection clause since the car comes with 3/36 anyway...its usually prorated. I would proceed to attempt to get you r $$$$ back and Buy a Toyota Platinum Plus zero deductible warranty. IT NEED NOT BE PURCHASED WHERE YOU BOUT THE CAR. Toyota of Greenfield (I think - Google it) was selling them at a great price. We bought a 7/100K warranty for around $700. The dealer originally wanted $1400! Good Luck.

I'm awiating delivery of a 4x4 v6 limited from Stevenson Toyota, Jacksonville NC. They provide an unlimited powertrain warranty with every new car. For $1600, you can get a lifetime bumper 2 bumper warranty. There is a $100 deductible. Sounds good to me. I still have a week or so to think it over. Can't buy it after I take delivery.

#16 of 32 Extended Warranty for Rav4 by allg

I got quotes from a few dealers for Platinum Coverage Extended warranty for my 2007 Rav4 (it is still under 3 yr 36,000 mile factory warranty) and every dealer's price is different.
 
Can I buy the coverage from an out of state dealer (specifically from some state which does not have a sales tax?) Does it cause any trouble while claiming warranty?
 
1. Is the warranty issued by Toyota?
2. how long do they take to send the coverage docs ?
3. Say after a couple of years just in case if my car is totaled, can i cancel the warranty and get the money back?
4. Is there any other details that I need to be aware of
 
I intend to take 7/75,000 platinum coverage with $0 deductible and the quotes range from $534 to $1,100. Toyota financial has the Retail price as $1,175. Since the minimum price is so vastly different from the highest price, I am wondering if it is too good to be true. I did verify the dealer who gave the cheapest price Midwest Toyota, KS is a Toyota Authorized dealer.
 
Thanks in adv for your opinions / suggestions.

just an update .
 
for the extended warranty, All the dealer "Midwest Toyota" wanted was the vin # of the car and the number of miles driven. With the Vin# he was able to pull up my vehicles purchase date & etc.
 
I called up the dealer and paid the amount using the cr card, he said the warranty doc's will be sent to me directly from Toyota financial in 2 weeks time.
 
The plan that i took was Platinum Coverage with $0 deductible for 7yr / 75,000 miles. I think it is a grab for $534. (especially since the plan comes with roadside assistance, rental coverage & hotel accommodation & etc)
 
Will update the thread here once I get the documents from toyota.

#20 of 32 Certified used Rav4 by 13toyotas

Sep 03, 2009 (1:50 pm)

I can get a great deal on a Certified used 2009 Pacific Blue Rav4 4-cyl base with 1205 miles on it.
 
Being certified, it comes with a 7 yr/100,000 mile power train warranty. The dealer offered me the Certified Platinum warranty that covers most of the car for 7 yr/100,000 miles, plus roadside assit., and rental car for $980. I've been told this protection goes for more than $1400.
 
Anyone have any input on this certified protection plan and if this is a good price? thanks

I think you could probably get a little bit better price from Midwest Toyota. You really don't have to buy it now, as you have until you reach 36 months, or 36000 miles. Im assuming that the 36 months is from the date of the original sale of the car. If you dont buy it within this time frame, you are out of luck.

#22 of 32 extended warranty after 36,000mi by disnee

I read your message about Midwest Toyota. You have this [for real]Toyota warranty? Gateway Toyota, NJ gave me the following quote: 75,000mi $2000 for an extended warranty. How would I get in touch with Midwest Toyota?
These dealership people have me coming and going. Thrilled I decided to ck. out Edmunds.com and found your message/conversation.
Thanks for sharing and saving me $$$
