New to the forum, thoughts on warranty?

Sup guys,

Just picked up my New tundra SR5, XP package and i love it. Been a nissan guy for two decades and needed to step it up!

Ive never bought an extended warranty in the past. But really thinking about it due to the price of tundra parts and hope my truck wasnt built on a friday! Ive seen post about "Call Jennifer" is there a better option than the 7 year 120k mile the dealer wants to sell me for a few thousand, think he said 26-2800$.

Look forward to sone good conversations and learning from you guys.

Right...he wanted almost 2800$. Ive search and found a post of folks talking about this person "Jennifer "from wolverine Toyota?? I was curious if its a legit Toyota warranty, or if its some fly by night warranty for cheap and hard to have work done.

 

It a TOYOTA 0 deductible platinum warranty.

Better weather and nicer people.

 

Welcome from Charleston, My 2016 started life as an SR5 XP. Sorry for all the Money in mods the page will cause.

 

I was never a 'buy the warranty guy' until these trucks began being built like computers: I love the peace of mind of a good warranty.

 

I love NY, but you are spot on!

 

Hopefully I'm out of here in 2 to 3 years.

Sounds like you're all squared away on the warranty question as it sounds like someone hooked you up with a dealer contact that can get you a genuine Toyota warranty, but here's my 2 cents as someone who worked at a car dealership in the past:

With very few exceptions, aftermarket extended warranties are not worth it. They are written in such a way as to cover almost nothing. The temptation to buy them is that they are cheaper than the factory brand warranty (in this case Toyota) but it's not worth it when you try to put in a warranty claim only to find out that it's not covered.

Again, this is more just general FYI, not so much relevant to your situation as it seems you will be getting a Toyota warranty, so you should be all set.
