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?

    But doesn’t it not take effect until after the standard 3 year 36,000 mile warranty? I saw that in the fine print on the one they offered me.

      It basically takes the included warranty and extends it for another 4 years - so technically yes, it starts afterwards.

      I will add - my little bro has a 2019 corolla hybrid and literally loves it. Not a single problem with electronics, and he’s already 40,000 km deep
