While waiting for our Ody to come in, I went to get our 1996 Camry V6 (with only 41K on it) oil changed. We are selling this car to my cousin (he is new to the US and has no Credit) for very favorable terms, and also because I told him how reliable it was and what few miles it had. At the dealership they found the engine was leaking oil and needs about $900 worth of work. Since I am giving this car to my cousin, I had to fix this - Hard to do for a car worth $9-10K. This was upsetting for the obvious reasons, especially beacuse we bought the car for its reliablity.
Anyway, these things happen, but I think when our ODY comes in, I'll get the extended warranty. My wife drives very few miles, but with the van, we plan to make many more trips. And the warranty pays for itself with an event like the one above and also for the peace of mind it gives you.
Six years ago, when I bought the Camry, my father was adamantly opposed to an extended warranty - saying if the car doesn't make it to 100K without major problems, then it's not a Toyota. He has passed away now, and while I agree with him for the most part, I think I'll get the extended warranty this time.
