I would have to agree with not purchacing the warranty, but if you must purchace one, wait until your factory warranty is set to expire. You have no idea if you will still own the vehicle then, what if you sell it, somebody hits you and totals it, steals it, or whatever...Keep the money and be happy that your car is covered 5yr 60k miles for powertrain and 100k miles on the hybrid stuff i think.


I just signed the papers for mine yesterday, the finance lady tried to tell me that the extended warranty from toyota was the ONLY one that would cover any hybrid parts. Well, I decided to analyze the fine print and right under the "not covered" items was the hybrid batt, etc that she was insisting i needed covered. Not to mention the longest extended warranty they offer expired at the same 100k that the toyota warr did.

The only real coverage you gain is powertrain past 60k and electronics past 36k IF you purchace a top shelf warr that covers those items
