I know a number of contributors to this group have run the gamut of
choice on extended warranties.
Which ones have been found to be most reliable and honest with their
warranty honoring ?
We have a new 4 runner. The dealership offered $1200 for the full
coverage to 7 years 90K miles, if the warranty is purchased
concurrently, or shortly thereafter the purchase of the new car.
($1600 if not acquired relatively immediately) - for an extension to 7
years and 90K miles.
Is there any reason to assume that the dealership offer of an warranty
that is more accepted or workable than an independent warranty
provider ? (I assume that an extended warranty with one legitimate
dealership would be honored at all dealerships.)
As of this point I have not found an actual better rate than the
dealer's extended warranty, this subject I consider worth a revisit.
Extended warranties are NOT needed for Toyotas. Period. Sucker bait they
are.
Warranty for Corolla or Scion = $685.
One seat motor for the driver's seat, dealer cost = $469
installation $130
Looks to me if a seat motor goes, the warranty has just about paid for
itself...
You're rolling the dice. Twenty years ago, I would have said No, (that was
before the dealer banged me $400 to replace a head gasket on a 1.6L 4A-GE
engine with 13,000 miles on it!!!)
These days, with what I have seen from the cars coming from the US and
Canada...$685 might be pretty cheap...
