Toyota extended warranty?

Not worth it imo, I've never had a Toyota that would have made it worthwhile

 

Here's the thing, say family needs change or you move or have a bad knee or something, that extended warranty can be a selling point. Not only does the buyer have the opportunity to take that over without any charge, but it also indicates that the owner intended to take care of the car. There's a lot of people, including some people on here, who are quite proud that they're not doing the best maintenance on the vehicle. So I can make a difference.

 

The infotainment unit with navigation alone is worth the entire premium.

A parasitic draw problem can run hundreds just for the diagnosis... A low battery can screw up computers... The manual 4WD adjustment or even the solenoid switching system needing to be broken free is near 50% of the premium.

 

We are talking about a 4Runner and not a Grand Cherokee or Range Rover here, aren't we? I hear less talk of extended warranty on Ford and Dodge forums.

Has that ever been a factor on people paying stupid money for a used 4Runner?

 

In the high competition of the Southern California region, I've been successful getting better than average money selling old cars with great service records, complete upfront disclosure in my ads (no surprises, no disappointments) and a couple years left on warranties for a car or two.

Add in a V6 and none of that shiny black shit¹ around the wheels and the 4Runner is gaining on its blue book...


¹ They are Toyota's modern wear indicators to see if you've been off-roading and voiding your warranty, no doubt. Hahaha.
