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?
How much is the warranty and will it cover swapping the battery?
Traditionally Toyota hybrid batteries last 7 years (I think they warranty the battery that long).
Besides that Toyota has been making hyprid cars since early 2000s and many of them easily did 300,000 KM before any major repair.
It would have been a different story if the brand was Kia or Hyundai!
Late 90s actually. And they warranty all HV components battery included for 15 years/150k miles
