    Ask Smithy Xtra extended warranty for Toyota Yaris

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Yaris Toyota Yaris Advice Toyota Yaris 2011
    I am buying my wife a new Toyota Yaris, which comes with the standard 3-year warranty, but the dealer has offered me an extended warranty for three years at a cost of $600 or five years for $1000 that will have a cap of $3000 for any single repair. She does about 10,000 km per year. Is it worth getting an extended warranty on a new car?

    It comes down to your peace of mind. As she only does a relatively few kilometers a year the car would only have around 30,000 km at the end of the new car warranty, and 60,000 km at the end of the additional three years, or 80,000 km at the end of the five-year extension. Not a lot really. On that basis I probably wouldn’t take the option, but you must keep up the service even though she’s not doing a lot of kays. Regular maintenance is the key to a long life of trouble free motoring.
