NO more Jerry Johnson mailed warranties
Just got off the phone with Jerry, He said as of a few days ago Toyota told him he could not sell warranties unless the customer went to his place of business and bought them. Toyota is not allowing dealerships to sell warranties across state lines through the mail.

Or to be old and not to smart financially speaking
Extended warranties sell costly "peace of mind" for repair nightmares that probably won't occur. If you have few thousands to throw on the window you are much better putting them in a saving account that guess what . has no expiration date, no limit in miles, no exclusions and guess what. .they earn you interest also..
But hey, if that makes you sleep at night by all means

I am yet to encounter a warranty that covers something that needs fixing. The parts that are warranted are generally the parts that don't break. when it comes down, they will play the "wear and tear" part not covered under warranty.... If no warranty gets me a lower price then good riddance to it. The nice thing about Lexus CPO is the financing rates rather than the warranty itself.

Had my upper control arms (front) replaced under my extended warranty.
(the upper control arm ball joints went bad started squeaking and are replaced as a unit)
Still was less than the actual warranty itself by a couple hundred.

I am surprised that was covered under warranty, I would have expected it to be dubbed as wear and tear. Especially after the initial comprehensive warranty. I would not even have thought to take it back for something like that.

Agreed, LOL..... It's okay though, once something fails he'll probably feel the burn

On my vehicle? I can throw you about 100-pages of paperwork that's been done on my car that was covered under the extended CPO warranty. I've totaled maybe $6000+ in repairs already by now. This includes interior parts, headlight, minor quirks, etc. etc.

I for one, am lucky and happy I had my CPO, I paid my car in cash in full so I had no financing needs.
Hot damn! that's crazy, didn't know the sunroof motor could go bad *knocks on wood*

You really feel extended warranties are a waste of money? My uncle thought the same thing on his E350..... Turns out his transmission repair on the car came out to $2600, warranty from the dealer was only $2300.... He paid out of pocket within 6 months of FRESH ownership on a used vehicle..... I don't think that would have been unjustified if that happened.

As for your &6k savings you need to give more details, what mileage your car had, was it still under factory warranty what work was done, 100 pages might sound like a lemon already.
p.s your car was probably out of warranty by the time you bought it hence why the dealer cannot sell you one because they love to do that.
