New Prado Factory Extended Warranty - Yes or No ????

[Slick1 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Slick1]

Hi Guys,

Picking up the new Prado D4D Altitude tomorrow. Still have not decided whether or not to include a factory extended warranty (extended to 6 years/150,000km) for approx. $1,600.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

Probably not a bad deal. If it was $1000, I would snap it up. Maybe haggle a bit more on it? There still seems to be injector issues so a 6 year factory warranty would be quite worthwhile for peace of mind.

Dealer extended warranty is available for $1,000 but then you need to have all your servicing done at the selling dealer and there is a $2000 limit per repair claim.
The $1600 is the factory extended warranty. Means you can get your car serviced anywhere, any Toyota dealer can handle the warranty claims and no limits on repairs.

I just extended mine. Way cheaper than Swann at $1950 for 2 yrs.

Do you need to decide now?

Hi

If it were my car I would extend it with the factory warranty for $1600. All it takes is to have an injector fail or turbo or something mechanical and you'll spend more then your $1600 fixing it...

there is no price for peace of mind

Nike and make sure it is a gen Toyota warranty. Over a 5 year lease you don't even notice it.

Bought my 150 from Windsor Toyota in western Sydney in 2010, with a 6 year warranty from them at no extra charge. Only proviso is that I have them service it for 6 years.

I was given mine without even asking?

Another grab for cash by some dealers.

I keep thinking about the deal I got and think my dealer did the right thing by me.

A big yes from me, even if you pay like I did, it can be worth it, another three years of security. I've had my turbo replaced and injectors done, this was all in my extended warranty period, I still have two years remaining :-) 1600 well spent

This might be a silly question, but can you buy the extended warranty after purchasing a car a while ago

[D4D Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close D4D]

Yes up until the factory warranty runs out.

Which is what, 3 years the standard Toyota warranty

Yes up until the factory warranty runs out.

I was also given the option as I brought from Toyota, the factory warranty had run out but because it only had 55k on the clock I was able to get the extended warranty.
