I picked up my new R4P XSE a month ago, and paid for 5yr /100,000 km added coverage from the dealer. I'm loving the car, but there's a lot to learn. There's figuring out all the settings, and getting the car set up for towing our 13 foot trailer. There's winter tires and a roof rack for the kayaks. Keeping track in my mind of what's covered (and not covered) under warranty and for how long is a whole other task that is some complicated. I guess I'll just have to focus and make a spreadsheet. Thanks for this video.
I had similar reasoning in buying a 10 yr 125,000 for a Grand Highlander Hybrid. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to buy a warranty after market. That probably would have been a much smarter way to go. Was reassuring to see I wasn’t the only one out there considering all of these new parts and new technology. The Grand Highlander Hybrid is brand new and most manufacturers rarely get it 100% right on the first try. At minimum I get some piece of mind.
With hybrid systems and all that I got the extended warranty. An important thing to remember is that the warranty is negotiable. They wanted $3500 for it and I talked them down to $2k
I bought a Honda Accord years ago and also the extended warranty. Who would buy an extended warranty with a Honda? I felt buyers remorse on buying the warranty but low and behold after the factory warranty had expired the computer system went down, the warranty saved me thousands.
I tend to avoid buying extended warranties but decided to buy one for our Rav4 Prime based on similar reasoning to yours. I paid $1100 for an 8 year/100k miles warranty. Given that my Toyota dealer just attempted to charge me $750 for my 35k mile service (after trying to add a bunch of BS procedures not listed in the factory maintenance guide) I think it's cheap insurance against getting hosed down the line if/when something goes wrong.
The Toyota warranty is the best, it can be used at any dealer nationwide. Say your on a trip, pop in and use the warranty if needed and trip interruption is a bonus. Look at it as an extra $10 a mth. That's two trips to Starbucks easy.
I purchased the Toyota Extended Warranty after purchased my 2021 RAV4XLE Hybrid

We love our Prime. Congrats on the new car.

Cars are just too complicated now adays to not purchase this piece of mind. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Especially with an automobile as complicated as the RAV4 Prime. But honestly, the prime has been rock solid. Best car i've owned.
nice information
Thanks bud.
