#1 of 6 Extended Warranty Opinions by scotty24 Feb 08, 2008 (4:36 pm)
I just purchased a 2008 Prius Pkg 2 without the dealer offered Platinum Extended Warranty. Need opinions, yes or no: is the extended warranty needed, or necessary, for the 2008 Prius? Thanks, Scotty24 Replies to this message: sergelbergeron (Feb 08, 2008 6:13 pm) m2mazda6 (Aug 18, 2008 2:20 pm)

Replying to: scotty24 (Feb 08, 2008 4:36 pm) Scotty I am no mechanic - but I bought a 2005 Pack 2 - in Dec. 04 - have about 50,000 miles now on the car - regular warranty is expired except for the 8 year electric component - anyway this car has had no problems whatsoever. So far this is a very good car. I just bought another one - the 2008 Pack 5 in October 2007. Car has 6000 miles - same thing - good car - but I did pay $1000 and bought the Platinum ECP on this one. I hope this helps. I am very happy with the 2 Prius - and the gaz milleage also.

I used http://www.carandtruckwarranties.com for my BMW and they sent me the contract before I bought and answered the tough questions on the coverage's I had. Make up your own mind, but you might want to check your options.

Replying to: scotty24 (Feb 08, 2008 4:36 pm) Thought I'd bring this up again to try and get answers why should I get the Extended Warranty, I have never bought this on any car I bought, My Prius only has 1023 miles on it and I love it. So this car is saposed to be great with no problems, why should I get it. your opinions are greatly welcome.
#5 of 6 Extended warranty... by scottc3 Aug 18, 2008 (2:53 pm)
Extended Warranties are good thing.. BUT.. it depends on the price you pay for it. If Extended Warranties were $1.. we'd all have them. The Dealer makes money on it for sure.. this is a given. They want to sell EW’s, they make money on it. If the warranties were $1000, we are all less likely to have it. What is it worth to YOU? If you could get a 8 year, 80,000 mile warranty for $500.. is that worth it to you.. KNOWING you have a 3 year warranty already.. so the 8 year is not really 8 years, it's an additional 5 years... so be careful. I do not usually buy the EW, but I did on my 2008 Prius, only because I threw out a number I'd pay, for the 8 year, 75,000 miles, and they took it.. after a bit of talking. I was happy, they were making money.. so go into the dealer with a number in mind, if they agree, take it. If not, you are out nothing.   sc

I have a 2009 Toyota Prius 34,500 miles. I drive an average of 30,000 miles a year. any suggestion regarding extended warranty? Do I need it? I've been checking prices and they are expensive. I appreciate any advise.
