That was what the Toy Finanancial Services wanted, Thier aftermarket version was $3500 but gave me a discount due to my superior charm (either that or I didn't argue at MSRP).My dealer wanted $4995 for that….

We buy Toyota presumably because of quality and longevity.Would that qualify as a lemon law situation?
With all these fun Toyota stories lately did anyone spring for the extended warranty at or post purchase? Never bought a new car warranty in my life but I'm thinking of extending that coverage through fidelity.
Yeah, if extended warranties saved money, no manufacturer would offer them. It basically is like a casino, house has higher odds of winning and will profit in the long run. Most people who get an extended warranty lose money but lucky (or unlucky ) few may end up saving money.We buy Toyota presumably because of quality and longevity.
Extended warranties always have a significant negative expected value. It's like buying equities that you know will, on average, have a negative return.
I bought the 5 yr 75,000 mile extended warranty for my 2015 Transit 350. Just before it expired, the entire differential had to be completely rebuilt. Price? ~$1700. I paid $1,200 for the extended warranty. So it worked out okay in the end for me on the Transit.We buy Toyota presumably because of quality and longevity.

I'm sure you can figure out the difference between the types of insurance you listed.I can't understand ......... Most people have health insurance, most have life insurance and it's mandatory you have vehicle insurance...... mainly due to the catastrophic cost IF something were to happen. It's wonderful some folks don't like extended warranties........ some of us do so, why bash the process.
That $1200 invested in an equity index fund would have easily yielded more than $1700 in most five year periods.

Yes Don I can, but you don't seem to get the point. Please by all means do what you want with your money, as I will do what I please with mine.I'm sure you can figure out the difference between the types of insurance you listed.
I honestly can't tell if you are serious about "peace of mind" when it comes to extended warranties.An extended warranty is an insurance policy. All insurance policies provide the same core value: peace of mind.
You’re not buying it for financial benefit. Unless it’s a life insurance policy and you expect to die during the term. In that case you are tax planning, which is a financial reason. Can you tell I worked for an insurance company? Lol.
Same warranty here, got it for "employee pricing" they said $1,300 couldn't really pass that up.Where did you get it for that price?
Dang and I thought I got a killer deal..... LOLSame warranty here, got it for "employee pricing" they said $1,300 couldn't really pass that up.
The guy trying to sell me the $4995 extended warranty told me the transfer case was not included in that. Seemed odd, since it is needed for the front wheel drive system to work..Powertrain Coverage
60 months/60,000 miles (engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel-drive system, rear-wheel drive, seatbelts and airbags). *
Yeah that is because it is a Nissan.Nissan Xterra had the same problem sometime ago.

This is interesting, as I was under the impression, short of the DC motor and associated clutches forward of the transmission, they were the same 8-speed internally...They don’t say what transmission.
The non hybrid has a different 8 speed than the hybrid. The trans on the hybrid is a all new 8 speed model.
I had the same understanding.This is interesting, as I was under the impression, short of the DC motor and associated clutches forward of the transmission, they were the same 8-speed internally...
Um, yep. That’s how most insurance (that isn’t required by law) is sold.I honestly can't tell if you are serious about "peace of mind" when it comes to extended warranties.
