#1 of 24 Buying a Toyota Warranty for the Avalon? by montanaprof May 08, 2007 (6:27 am)
Hi,   My Mother-in-law just purchased a brand new Toyota Avalon Limited, and was persuaded by the dealer to purchase the Toyota Extended Warranty...for a mere $1800 (discounted from $2500)!!   When I bought my Honda Odyssey, I avoided this trap, and bought a Honda warranty from a dealer on the East coast (I bought in LA), for a fraction of the cost that my LA dealer wanted to sell it to me for. It's a genuine Honda Warranty.   Does anyone know:   1) can we cancel the current extortionately priced warranty   2) where can we get a good priced Toyota dealer warranty from?   Cheers   David Replies to this message: pat (May 08, 2007 7:53 am) fin (May 08, 2007 9:50 am) bwia (May 10, 2007 9:35 am) montanaprof (May 10, 2007 11:11 am) mantaraygirl (Sep 10, 2007 5:51 pm)

Replying to: montanaprof (May 08, 2007 6:27 am) Search for toyotaofgreenfield.com on the internet for one place. Bargain priced, to be sure. The forum the HOST shows above will probably have more sites so go there too. Hope this helps. (You are right, you paid waaay too much.)

Replying to: montanaprof (May 08, 2007 6:27 am) Obvously, your mother-in-law is risk averse. That's why she bought the warranty in the first place. $1,800 would appear to be absorbitant in the first instance, but we do not know the details of this plan. If it is a 10-year warranty with a $100 or less deductible, that would appear to be a reasonable price.   By the way, this is not a warranty. Only the manufacturer offers one, which is included the price of the car. Your mother in law bought a service agreement which kicks in after the original manufacturer's warranty expire. I would not attempt to cancel the contract. Replies to this message: montanaprof (May 10, 2007 11:11 am)

Replying to: bwia (May 10, 2007 9:35 am) Some great feedback here.   I have more details.   The plan my mother-in-law purchased was an 8 year 120,000 mile $100 deductible plan from Zurich.   The dealer sold it for $1950.   Based on a message above (thank you!!), I contacted Troy at Toyota of Greenfield. He is AWESOME to work with (call (413) 772-0231 and ask for Troy). He walked through the entire Zurich warranty with my mother-in-law AND the Toyota one.   My mother-in-law now has a Toyota Warranty, 7 year, 100,000 mile with $0 deductible, Platinum plan for $990.   Now, we just have to see how much of the $1000 I can get from my mother-in-law!!   Cheers all!!   David

Replying to: montanaprof (May 08, 2007 6:27 am) Another recommendation - Midwest Toyota Superstore Hutchinson, Kansas I wanted the Platinum $0 deductible, and was getting quotes ranging from $1375 to over $2100 at local dealers. Quotes from Midwest: 7/75 - $561, 7/100 - $856.   This was for an '04 Avalon. As an aside to anyone else in the SE region, you can buy the Toyota warranty anywhere in the US, you're not limited to the SE region (as I was told by dealers several times). Anyway, just wanted to pass this on, hope it helps someone else!
#10 of 24 Extended Warranty for 07 Avalon by popsavalon Jan 04, 2008 (8:56 am)
I had declined the extended warranty on my 07 Avalon XL at time of purchase in MS. because of excessive cost (almost $1200-). After reading the above posts, I have just purchased a platinum, zero deduct., 7yr/75000mi, Toyota Extra Care Service Agreement, from Midwest Toyota Superstore for $619--. The number is 620-662-6631, and I did business with Jerry Johnson.   As mantaraygirl posts, you are not restricted to buying a warranty where you buy your vehicle. The posts on this subject were very informative, and saved me a lot of money!
