Trading in my dream car for a Toyota hybrid for longevity, lower maintenance costs, and lower insurance costs.

Putting together the final paperwork when the warranty packages are introduced.

I decline all but the manager insists on one of them alone specifically covering electronics (and everything else for 10 years). He says that the newer Toyota’s electronics are expensive to replace and commonly malfunction or break. I figured this is just pushing warranty, but he got to me mentally and broke my confidence in the brand.

Was this guy just trying to get me to spend more money, or is there truth in his tale?

    I hate dealing with dealerships for this reason. They legit try to guilt you into purchasing these warranty plans that they don’t always approve in the event of something failing. I wish dealerships only sold used cars and that we could purchase cars directly from the manufacturer like Tesla.

    As far as Toyota’s reliability, they’re still reliable cars. I’ve purchased 4 new Toyotas and 1 used Camry in the past couple of years. Never had any issues with any of them.
