2007 Prius Warrantee opinion?

Well I just bought a 2007 NL and I'm faced with the decision on the extended warrantee(Platinum?). The factory warrantee seems pretty good and comprehensive and while I generally reject extended warrantee's as nearly pure profit, I do tend to buy extended drivetrain/systems warrantee.

SO, in the face of a generous standard warrantee and a $1625 fee, what have you done? Yes I know it's a personal opinion but still I'd appreciate any opinion.

thanks.

PS - Can't wait to pick up my new hybrid! (and I as so amazed at the deal they gave me - over 10% off MSRP - I don't know what's typical now but I know they were getting sticker in my area just last fall)

PPS should I buy Lojack or the GPS alternative (forgto the name, sounds better'n Lojack)? does anyone steal these 'beauties'?

Well, first of all, if you check priuschat.com you'll find a source for it for $995 from a reliable dealer. Secondly, you don't have to buy it right away; you have until your regular warranty runs out--that's three years.

Third, I believe that it's not necessary, but each of us has to make his or her own choice on the matter.

Waste of money in my opinion.

If going for an extended warranty, I'd suggest the Toyota Extra Care Platinum Plan. You can buy it any time before the end of your basic 3 year/36,000 mile plan, and from any dealer. (So, you have time to shop around and get a better price!) The longest 7 year/100,000 mile/ $0 deductible version can be had from several Prius-friendly dealers for $995 (and shorter terms for even less), so...

I know that I have to update this document with some new dealers (and updated links), and info about the now-offered lower-than-Platinum plans, but... Much info about the Toyota extended warranties and some suggested discount dealers can be found here:

The only reported stolen Prius that I've heard of were where the theif stole the keyfob... (The only other method is by a tow truck, and I think I've heard of one stolen in this method as well.) With the standard engine immobilizer (and no way to hot-wire it), it is very difficult to steal a Prius.

Your NL package includes the anti-theft alarm (horn beeps/lights blink if someone opens a door or the hood while armed).

However, if your auto insurance company offers a large enough discount for the added anti-theft device (vehicle transponder), then it may be worth it to you.
