Should pick up new xcab in several weeks. I intend to keep the vehicle for some time, so is the extended warranty at $1650 worth taking up.

hmm can u extend the warranty later on after your first warranty has ran out? i have got so much stuff done under warranty its not funny.. do a search for the warranty competion its good to see what people have had replaced under warranty all the best with ya new truck

John..there are a number of different ones that you can get..just look at all of them first..... 1 was 200,000kms or 6 years full factory :eek: that would be the GO...

I am going to extend mine next year ..... I did it with my last 4x4 (a patrol dare I say) and it paid for it's self in 1 warranty job....

cheers

Hey John, get the extended warranty.. if you intend on keeping the car for longer than 3 years, its very well worth the small outlay now.. but talk to the dealer, and get them to reduce the coat a bit.. tell them your not sure, .. dont give into their pressure of signing now.. you have until you make payment on the car and pick it up..

i get 5yrs/150,00k's instead of 3yrs/100,000k's if i keep taking back to the same dealer i bought it from. I thought that was a pretty good deal. Has anyone else heard of anything like that?

Paul 2RODS, can you buy such a warranty when the new car warranty runs out? Or is it only with the origional purchase?

Thanks guys, The offer is only at time of purchase of hilux, extends extra 3 years and up to 150,000ks.

i had 18 monthe from my buy date to buy the ext warranty. i got it for 5yrs in total so it stays with the vehicle so i intend to sell at end of 09 so it will still have warranty, apealing to buyers

Macca... there are a number of options but the details I am not 100% on.... I am going up to see about mine soon so I will let you know.

cr1pp5 - Yep. I got an extra 3 years if I use the dealer for servicing.

I have phoned my local dealer (Nowra Toyota) and I have up until my warranty runs out to purchase the extended warranty. They said they would take off $200 if I bought.
I will be taking up the offer at time of next service which would be the last prior to first warranty period running out.

Same deal at Taree Toyota, bushpig.
Looks like 3 extra years and up to 150000 k's since new.
3 year cover for the price of 2 year, $1540.00.
I will be getting it for sure, thanks for the prompt johnwf.

John,

What type of modifications/additions do you plan with the vehicle?

Just be careful as some might void the warranty so you my buy it for nothing!

I think the extra warranty is great... well worth the money if your truck remains pretty standard. If factored into a loan it costs you buggar all more each week for a lot of peace of mind.

I guess just check with Toyota that your planned mods will be o.k with the warranty.

I say this because I'm currently awaiting a decision from Toyota on whether to fix my clutch and slave cylinder under warranty, or deny the claim due to bits on my truck like suspension, tyres and LPG, chip etc.

Good luck with your new truck.
Cheers
Matt
