Warranty Suggestions please...

[derekjd]

I did some investigating on warranties today rather then telling my dealer that is holding my car hostage that I have made up my mind.... I called toyota and was informed that the dealer warranty on rust proofing/paint/underbody protection was not worth it, the rep informed me that the panaling and paint are are treated factory and the paint has been improved to fight chips so the dealer's extra warranty was not worth it. Savings of $500 or so... Also I spoke with them about extended warranties for purchase before the 36,000 mark, my dealer wanted 1000 for 7/75000 and 12500 for 7/100000 in which toyota also informed was a to high in a non-casual way. Essentially what they said was call other dealers and buy a toyota warranty through them, so my quest started and I found almost right off the bat other dealers were offering 875 for 7/75000 and 1100 for 7/100000... Another to toyota.... One other thing that I would like to note is the warranty can be bought through any dealer in the United States, so for you other Yaris owners out there try to find out how much money your dealers are selling them for and post the numbers please, make life a little cheaper for us all....

In short it's coming down to this: I like cars, but I really don't like dealers!!!
