I bought a 2008 prius a couple of weeks ago and did not buy the extended warranty at the dealership.

Forums in this website indicate that I could possibly buy an extended warranty (7year/75000/0 deductible) for ~$700 or less from "Troy" in MA or from toyota super store in KS.

I am sure this topic has been beaten to death by now but ...

would that be a waste of money even if it's "only" $700?

According to consumer reports Prius is very solid in reliability + some of the "electric" components have warranty to 7 or 10 years (?)

in other words, what are the chances of something breaking down 4, 5, 6, 6 1/2 years from now that would cost more then $700 to fix?
to me that probability is high but I could be wrong.

how are 2001-2003 prius holding nowadays?

any help is appreciated.

thanks to those who responded to my previous question
