Replying to: mfumfole (Nov 04, 2009 3:43 pm) Get an online quote for the Toyota extended warranty from either Toyota of Littleton, MA or Midwest Toyota, Ks. Use that as a basis for negotiation.   $2,000 seems high. If way out of line and the owner refuses to reduce his price then you should buy online. The seller can get a pro rata refund of his 'original' purchase price from Toyota which should keep him happy unless he is trying to make a profit on the transfer to you.

Replying to: redpearl (Nov 04, 2009 6:34 pm) Thanks redpearl!   I did not know you could get a pro-rated refund on the remaining warranty. I will suggest that to the seller if he refuses to budge. Right now I am thinking of offering around $800 to $1000 for the warranty.   Some members here have suggested that out-of-state Toyota warranties are not legal in California (where I am). Do you know if this is actually true? Where might I check? I hesitate to ask a dealer because they have a vested interest in selling the warranty.

Replying to: mfumfole (Nov 04, 2009 10:44 pm) The only requirement is that no claims were made against the warranty. It is in the 'cancellation' clause on the contract. Contract on my 2005 Highlander also said to return to selling dealer but I called Toyota directly and returned the paperwork; received the check in less than 2 weeks. Used the refund to purchase Toyota warranty on new 2009 Sienna.   Not aware of any ban on CA dealers accepting out of state purchased Toyota warranty. Perhaps 3rd party/independent warranty due to CA emissions. Replies to this message: mfumfole (Nov 05, 2009 1:14 pm)

Replying to: batavia02 (Nov 04, 2009 8:49 am) $1063 seems good given the $2 grand price being mentioned... Replies to this message: batavia02 (Nov 08, 2009 12:09 pm)

Replying to: mfumfole (Nov 04, 2009 3:43 pm) look at warrantyelite.com or warranty direct.com you can get an online quote from both. I found them at www.autowarrantyrankings.com . For the vehicle you are looking at the cost for a bumper to bumper is around $900 Replies to this message: mfumfole (Nov 06, 2009 6:40 pm)

Replying to: jackmyers76 (Nov 06, 2009 11:54 am) Jack, I am hoping that I won't have to shop around for a new one and the owner will accept a reasonable offer for the existing warranty. If I have to get a new one, I will check out the links you've suggested. Thanks!

Didn't a few of those 3rd party warranty companies go belly up a few years back?If I was going to buy an extended warranty I think I'd stick to a manufacturers one.Toyota probably isn't going broke
#53 of 53 PLEASE READ! Extended "Warranty"(Service Contract) by sp91546 Nov 19, 2009 (5:34 pm)
Hi, my name is Shayn, and I live in Houston. My 2007 Solara's factory warranty is almost expired, so I've been doing a lot of homework regarding an extended "service contract." Man, I've learned a lot!   In a nutshell, there are about 30 companies out there that administer extended service contracts. I wouldn't want to cast a blanket statement over every one, but apparently, a good number of them are not playing "by the rules." In fact, the largest company by far, US Fidelis(yes, the racing commercial), also known as several other names, has had 1254 complaints with the BBB in 3 years time. 1254! In addition, they're under investigation by the Attorneys General in 40 states.   I learned a bunch more, and I'd love to share it with whoever would be interested in learning more. Evidently, we have to watch each other's backs when it comes to getting screwed by a large corporation.   I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put my e-mail address on this posting; I guess I'll find out soon enough.   Take care!                                                           Regards,                                                           Shayn                                                         Houston, TX                                                         sp91546yahoo.com
