Well, if you read the thread right you'd see that the discussion is about people claiming that some warranty plans offer a full refund if it went unused by the end of the term. I'm still waiting for somebody to back up that claim. You're defending the claim, but you don't have any evidence either. The plan you sell offers no refund at all.

As far as what I choose to do with my time, that's my concern, not yours. You're selling the plan, I would think you'd be able to compare them off the top of your head.

Finally, please allow me to point out that you're posting in a Scion-related forum under your dealership's banner. You are not a civilian or a private individual here. Your attitude in this thread is not very professional, and reflect poorly on your dealership.

A quick look reveals a plan that seems to be comparable to Toyota's, except that when traveling away from the home dealership the owner must first obtain approval from the insurer before they can get their car serviced.

If your parent company owns the insurer, I would expect that would allow them to charge less for the same coverage that Toyota offers. There's no middleman, after all. Is this in fact the case? Are your plans cheaper than Toyota's?

I was defending dealerships like my own after you made the comment about not trusting dealerships that don't sell Toyota financial warranties. I am not defending anything else.

Easy boys, easy! Makes all the sense in the world to me that a dealership would sell the warranty of the parent company. That's why we live in America - many choices to be had.

At any rate, jethro_b, my saleman called back and left a message for me. He said that the extended Platinum Toyota warranty we have been speaking about (good at any Toyota dealership nationwide) is available for ANY Scion that is still under the factory warranty, i.e. not yet reached 3 years or 36,000 miles. So you would qualify.

If you can't find it locally, he'd be happy to help you. If you want his name and number, PM me. (I've never been PM'd on this forum, so how do I know if I have a PM?) I guess you could just email me at TimKillmeyer@compuserve.com

Actually, I don't believe anyone has claimed a full refund, have they? Will reread the entire thread when I am fully awake tomorrow.

In no way have I, at least, tried to imply a full refund, ONLY partial (in the experience Ihave had it was 50%).

To everyone else, thank you for the valuable information. I believe I am going to go ahead and cancel the extended warranty I purchased and put the money into an account to hold as a 'jic' issue for any repairs that are needed after the 3 year warranty arrives (or to buy another warranty closer to the end of the 3 year IF it seems reasonable at that time.)

Oh, and a note to add that I pretty much hate the world atm: 8 days after purchasing my xB, it got hit in a parking lot. No insurance info left (and no one around to witness apparently><). Now to figure out how much repairs will be. ugg. :?

K, missed that post. As far as I know, however, every single other person here has been speaking only of partial refunds.
