Matthews Toyota Talks About Extended Car Warranties

Jan 18, 2013

Car shopping is an exciting time, but you’re faced with many decisions from the moment you decide it’s time to buy a car! Should you buy or lease, should you buy used or new Toyota vehicles, do you need an extended warranty? Matthews Toyota knows how overwhelming car shopping car be, and wants to help you decide whether or not you should buy an extended car warranty.

Number of Years Before You Get a New Car

For most people, the decision to buy an extended car warranty comes down to how long you plan to keep the car before getting a new one. If you are someone who drives vehicles until they’re on their way to the car graveyard, getting the extended car warranty is probably a very good use of your money. On the other hand, if you tend to get new cars every three to five years, you probably will do just fine using the manufacturer warranty since you won’t have the car long enough to worry about an extended warranty.

Save Money Getting Extended Warranty Coverage at the Right Time

While you can wait to get an extended warranty once your vehicle’s manufacturer warranty is over, you will usually pay more than if you buy the extended warranty at the same time as when you buy the car. The longer you wait to buy the extended warranty, the more it will cost because you are more likely to use it. Save yourself some money by choosing to buy the extended warranty at the same time as you buy your car.
