Thanks again! RV
I really need some advise on buying an extended Warranty. I just brought a 2002 toyota camry LE ( 4cyl. 2.4 liter) with 9,100 miles on it. Will that be a good choice for me to buy the warranty or save the bucks for the future "wear and tear" problems :confuse: . The dealer gave us "90 days or 3000 miles" limited warranty for this car with $100 deducible fees per repair. Thank you.

The correct mileage should be 91,000 not 9,000. Please advise .
Thank you.

With 91k miles he will be unable to purchase a Toyota backed warranty.
Yesterday I picked up a new Rav4 4x4 4cyl and they offered the Platinum Extra Care Warranty, 7 years, including the Premium Auto Care Prepaid Maintenance program for $1480. I have until the end of the month to get this. After Aug the prices are separate and more expensive.
Does anyone know if this is a good thing to have or not?
Thanks
The 90 day/3000 mile service contract is probably a basic powertrain only contract. Unless your engine or trans blows, it'll be useless, too. Chances are, if you have problems in the first 3 months that would be covered, the car already has warning signs that would have prevented you from buying the thing. You did have your favorite mechanic look at it before you bought it, right?
Your best bet: take care of your new wheels and put money back each month for future repairs.
You should be able to pick up a 7 year/75,000 mile warranty via Toyota of Greenfield,Mass. for $600. I don't know if they offer the prepaid Maintenance package as well. They were very professional and prompt in my recent dealings with them.
thanks for the heads up
I just tried Toyo of Greenfield a couple of times and left 1 message
I'd like to see if they get back to me soon
thanks
Anyone have any company names that do extended warranties for cars with salvage title.
Anyone have any suggestions on car moving companies? Looking to move a car about 1000 miles east cost to midwest?
Thank you.
What is you opinions of getting one, and what level, for this car? What about this maintenance plan I hear about?
I will be picking up my car later this week, so any input that I can check out ahead of time will be very appreciated.
FYI - I drive around 12-15,000 miles a year, although that may change in 3 years after retirement (higher) or if I get a second car(lower - convertible for summer).
Thanks in advance.
Good Luck,
Got a great price from them!
I just got off the phone with Greenfield, Mass about the extended warranty and the best number he could give me with a 7 Year, 100K, 0 Deductible, Comprehensive, was $1334.00 and that didn't include Toyota's Premium Auto Care Prepaid Maintenance 4 year.
The dealership where I purchased the Rav 4 a couple of weeks ago offered both warranties at $1480.
Anybody, anywhere got a better deal and are these extended warranties worth it?
thanks
for $1200.I know Toyota has good realibility reputation.Should I consider to buy this warranty or put the money aside for future exp.? Thank you all in advice for your input.
Thanks
Does the service contract read 'Warrantybuynet', or another company?
How much time/mileage is left on the contract?
Should I consider to buy it or not? Need an advice.
what happened to you? any advice greatly appreciated.
George, that figure seems too high to me. I purchased a 7 year, 75,000K, 0 deductible, Platinum warranty for a RAV4 4WD for only $600. I didn't inquire about the prepaid maintenance plan.

I never had a MB, but if you intend to keep it beyond the original warranty, from what I have read about the cost to repair MB's, than, yes, it would probably pay you to get the OEM warranty.
I would cancel the third party warranty and purchase the Mercedes Benz Warranty. I have a 2006 Toyota 4Runner and purchased a Toyota warranty because I have read some bad stories on this web site about third party warranties for New Cars.
I am not familiar with MB ext warranty but I can tell you that easy care isnt the typical aftermarket warranty...easy care is owned by Ford and they back the factory labeled ext warranties for quite a few automakers....ford, honda, acura, volvo, jaguar, mazda etc.....
I always suggest that people only buy factory backed warranties...just wanted to clarify who easy care is and who backs them. Its not like an ext warranty that is backed by some mysterious third world nation.
Thanks!
IMPORTANT -- You can go to ANY repair shop - not necessarily dealers (who might be the one who sold you the lemon in the first place).
ALSO: The process is very easy - they approved most of the repairs on the phone with the shop and pay them using their credit card. If dealers are lazy and do not want to help with the processing - find another one who can - again you DO NOT have to go to a dealer.
BOTTOM LINE - Go for GEICO
