Extended Warranty Math, Nose Hair, and Opportunity Costs

I see your point. I also see the point of getting it while you can. If you buy a vehicle tomorrow, and wait to get the extended plan until 3 years is up, you may not be able to GET the plan at all, or the cost of the plan may be higher, thus off-setting the cost of financing it in during time of purchase. There are a ton of factors that must be considered, that is for sure, like the chance to buy one at a MUCH lower price, as seen below.

 

both quoted me at around $655 for the 8 year/75,000 mile (this was 3 weeks ago) .. i plan on getting it in a few weeks ...

also dealership tried selling it to me for almost $1,600 but i passed on it

 

Sounds to me like great pricing, to my knowledge several members here have used both-very straight forward. I have purchased warranties online for various vehicles and the Toyota pricing was much lower than other autos, I'm guessing in part due to the additional coverages for towing, lockout, etc. that they include. I just want the warranty only at a low price. Enjoy your purchase and peace of mind knowing how good your price is.

 

thanks, im curious of one thing, the warranty come with free towing in case of emergency but there's no number in the brochure, is it the same number as the one from toyota care? (which does come with free 2 year/25,000 mile roadside assistance)
