Clarification

Agree. Read the fine print. Might want to weigh if plan is by a 3rd party that can go out of business. I had it on my Audi (they scare you about $400 tires and $600 rims). But they are not a charity and must be making profit off this somehow. I cancelled and got my $ back. Reason: 3rd party I did not trust. Fine print also stated they had the right to refund your $ and cancell the policy at any time. So put in a $1k claim and they may just give you your $499 back.

I roll the dice and play "moneyball" I never buy any extra insurance on anything. In the end. I think I am up.

 

$788 of slight of hand rip off.

Kinda like insuring your toupee with Lloyd's of London.

You know, in case it comes off when you are in a swimming pool full of friends who are unaware you are folically challenged.

 

I would say the Tire & Wheel plan would be a good one to add on for the reasons others have stated (see above ^). The 1st one doesn't sound familiar to me... check out https://toyotafinancial.com/pub/w/planning_center/vehicle_protection_plans#! for the add-on plans offered 'officially' by Toyota.
However, the etching is almost a moot point because, if your vehicle is ever stolen, you'd be giving your local PD the VIN and other related info anyway.

 

You betcha . My buddy gets 125 k

That's when I'd be like.... upgrade time ! Meanwhile to wife I'd say oh I found a nice affordable set on Tire rack

 

That may be because funcar is not a Toyota.

 

I thought the OP was talking about the purchase of a new 3rd Gen Taco. I mean, he did post this in the 3rd Gen forum...

 

HOLLY FUCK, this was to funny, I almost pissed myself and passed out laughing!

 

The post I'd responded to was about tire and wheel warranties, I cited an example where it's paid off even using it honestly.

Did you really need that spelled out for you, or are you just being pedantic?

 

Some might argue that they're scams like all the other shit they try and sell you...imo

 

I was just agreeing with you on the tires & wheels... The security thing is not something I've seen Toyota offer (except in the form of LoJack), that's all. You don't have to be rude. I saw nothing about funcar, sorry.

 

Apparently I completely misunderstood your post; it had seemed you were being rude and I replied rudely in turn.

I apologize for that.

We good?

 

We're good!

 

Wait...he gets a Trunk Money, Wtf? I was never told a trunk monkey was an option. I'm calling corporate to complain ASAP!

 

They are pure profit for the dealer.

 

Wtf...I really got ripped off. I knew I shouldn't have gotten the piece of shit 17' Pro. I missed out on a sunroof, JBL audio and the damn trunk monkey.
