I picked up my new TCH on 5/26 and purchased the platiunm, 7 years/100k miles, for 800+, i don't have the exact figure with me as I write this post. This was purchased from the selling dealer, East Coast Toyota, in New Jersey.

I already have received coupons for 4 or 5 oil changes and other covered service. I will try to look at the coupons when I get home and post the exact information

I talked to the finance manager at the dealership and he looked into the issue. He called me back within an hour and apologized stating that there was an oversight somewhere along the line. He said if i called Toyota on Thursday, they will have a record of my car. I should get official paperwork from Toyota a few days after this.

The dealership I dealt with is Midwest Superstore in Hutchinson, KS. Other than the fact they dropped the ball, i am happy with the service I received. When I purchased the warranty, the finance person stated that they would sell the warranty at that price because it was end of month and they wanted to meet some numbers. Supposedly it's below their cost, but I don't know how much credence I put on this.

I decided to get the extended warranty because I have all the bells and whistles and I just rather pay now and have the peace of mind then be presented with a huge bill down the line. Even if I don't keep the car for the full 100,000 miles, the warranty is transferrable for $50 and I figure will be a good selling point.

BTW if you purchase a Toyota Warranty from an out of state dealer or any dealer, you can call 1-800-228-8559 to make sure your car has been input into the system.

Can any of you provide a link to the "Edmunds List" of Toyota dealers selling extended warranties.

Thanks in advance.

usahelmut,
Did they hit you up for tax on the service contract here in good ole' NJ? If they didn't charge tax I'm sure they will be doing that after July 15th when all the new taxes kick in. I'm wondering if buying it from out of state like at Midwest Superstore would be better.

Did you get the coupons for the free service with your extended warranty? I was given a little card for free 5k and 10k services with the car. hmmm.

I just picked my new TCH, and when I met with the Finance guy, he offered the 7yr/100k mile warranty for a price of $1799. I politely passed. That is a 100+% markup over the $820 houtex got.

That's the same price I was quoted where I bought my car. Three different people tried to sell me the extended warranty at the dealer. The last one came down to $1600 saying that was their cost for the warranty. Having read these boards religiously before I bought my car, I knew better.

There are people that will pay the 1800 which I guess is why they try so hard to sell it.

I just got off of the phone with the Midwest Superstore in Kansas. This is the one that has been mentioned in various posts.
They gave me the following information-

Platinum, $0 Deductable, Toyota Warranty:

6yr 75,000 $450
7yr 75,000 $535
6yr 100,000 $690
7yr 100,000 $830

I suspect that, based on these prices, I will be purchasing one of the 6 year plans.

I'm not affiliated with these folks in any way.

As always, YMMV!

I believe that the cost of the warranty was included in the price upon which the sales tax was calculated. Actually, I am not a NJ resident but a NY resident so the dealer calculated the tax on my NY residence because he actually registered the car for me in NY. I believe I got a couple of coupons for the service intervals which I think are every 5000 miles.

That’s cool..
You bought your car in NJ and registered it in NY where as I did just the opposite (still waiting for my plates). Did you call around to a bunch of dealers to find your car or did you order? I called around for about 2 weeks before I found a dealer that had one coming into the port that wasn't pre-sold.

I emailed Midwest Superstore in KS along with East Coast Toyota in NJ but haven't received a callback from either yet.
