Lifetime Warranty

I just purchased my Tacoma at my local Toyota dealership and it came with this warranty. Is this a good deal or do all other dealerships offer this?

Welcome! I live in shawnee so not too far from you.

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay over there? im still looking for a tacoma.

 

like 32,000 I can't remember the exact price

 

is it TRD at all? sport or offroad? doesnt look like sport to me in your avatar but cant tell

 

like 32,000 I can't remember the exact price. PM me and I will give you a good name over there.

 

SR5 Great truck

 

The Sport I bought at Daytona Toyota has the same warranty and the FAQs even look the same. I guess we'll find out how good it is once the truck has couple hundred thousand miles on it...
The warranty is one of the reasons I bought at this dealership.

 

My thoughts also, just wasn't sure how widespread this warranty is in the Toyota system

 

i may meander over there just to see what they can do. but i already have an offer on trd offroad dcsb for 317xx

 

shoot for 30

 

i want to. but i also want to get a lil closer till i know my car is gone.

either way OP good looking truck. go do some mall crawling, haha

this is my issue with lifetime warranties. you cant do any of the work on your own. means taking it in for an oil change somewhere and keeping paperwork of everything. personally i do everything myself so this is an issue for me

 

Question: What if you lift it?

 

I asked about this, supposedly you can do basic maintenance but you have to keep records and receipts...I'm sure that is one of the ways they would weasel out of coverage though!

 

i guarantee they will someway or another unless you had a 100% stock truck. its just time before its a hassle imo. plus who keeps trucks stock?

 

You don't get anything for free. They have it figured out that you have or will be paying for it some how. But, It sounds really good.




Just like my truck came with all the glass has a number etched into it, so if someone steals it they can find it. You would never know it's there just by looking. I know I paid for it some how in the price. it's about making money, not losing it.

 

I'm sure the dealer is hedging their bet that it's a fact most American's only keep their cars on average of 4 years.

 

^^ right there


They will win in the end too

 

^^^BOOM^^^ This is how they are going to nullify your "lifetime" warranty. "Sorry Mr. Conehead, but you didn't get everything on the 30,000 mile service done by a reputable shop." Whatever that XXXXX mile service calls for, has to be completed, or it's certainly a no-go for whatever part fails you down the road. It'll cost you far more for the services than you'll ever use in the extended warranty.

 

I'm keeping this truck for 15 yrs. minimum. No trading up.

 

I don't have a lifetime warranty on my Tacoma. But, my wife has one on here Honda minivan. Unlimited years and miles on the power train.

You can do your own maintenance if you keep receipts for everything. Same as a dealer warranty. The other thing stated in hers is that if the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the vehicle you will get compensated for the value of the vehicle.

The third thing is that the warranty is not through the dealer, it is provided free of charge from the dealer, but it is through an insurance company. The benefit of that is if the dealer goes under you don't lose the warranty and it is nationwide.

Don't know if the OP's is set up this way…

What i did when we bought the van was find the deal we wanted, which was from another dealer, and see if the dealer offering the lifetime warranty would match. And, of coarse they did.

Anyway, sweet rig. Good luck with it.
