    Im assuming that the Toyota Platinum warranty is still the best warranty out there. Since they have made it hard on those guys selling in one state to sell to us in other states, I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with a dealer or someone in VA that can get us this warranty cheaper like Troy and Handy Auto could.

    My dealer wants $1700-$1950 for a 7 or 8 yr 125000 mile warranty. I could use the years but dont need that kind of mileage.
    Thanks for any info you guys may have!

    I don't believe theres' any magic bullet on this. I'm going to email a few dealers in the area (No. Va.) and see how they stack up on the prices offered by Jerry and Troy. I'd also like to know the incentives to sell 100 above cost for example; as there is a problem in the finance office if they can smooth-talk a happy buyer into 5-10 times that profit. Sure it is one reason Mr. T clamped down on the internet process. We'll see what dealers respond.!!!
    Still kicking myself for not getting with Jerry before the moratorium went on. I've got 6 months to solve this problem.
    PS just lost an o2 sensor on my 07 highlander and it is covered by my 8/75k i got from Jerry. Nearly 500 i DONT have to pay, plus I get a loaner.

    Troy will sell you one if you have a MA address you can use for the paperwork.

    According to Troy's website

    http://fd-warranty.toyotaofgreenfield.net/toyotascion/index.html

    it doesn't look like he is selling Toyota extended plans anymore, but some third party plan which generally is not as good.

    I had heard that they lowered the boom on U.S. dealers selling extended warranties to Canadians, but wasn't aware they wouldn't allow extended plans sold between various U.S. states?

    Yeah it's my understanding(maybe Im wrong) that Toyota made it so they cant sell over state lines. I guess a lot of dealers were losing out.:rolleyes:

    Just purchased 8/75000 for '12 Prerunner:

    Toby Rivers
    Lexus of Shreveport
    1-800-335-3987
    tobytoyota@aol.com

    Email him model/vin/mileage and any price offers you have, and he'll quote a good price. Of course he does Lexus AND Toyota VSP's.

    My quotes for: 2012 Tacoma 4x2 [prerunner] w/ 36,000 miles or less, < 3 years.

    Toyota Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible:
    6 yr / 75K - $610.00
    6 yr / 100K - $835.00
    7 yr / 75K - $680.00
    7 yr / 100K - $950.00
    8 yr / 75K - $785.00
    8 yr / 100K - $1050.00
    8 yr / 125K - $1365.00
    [Have to get a quote for 4x4 which will be a little higher or if you want Gold plan or other.]

    Know several have bought from him on the Rav4 forum.
