And $58 each for 5 oil changes? You're definitely getting taken to the cleaners on that deal. BAIL OUT NOW! For starters, you only need to get your oil changed every 5k miles, not 3k as Jiffy Lube proponents would have you believe. Today's oil (especially synthetics) are engineered to last significantly longer...go with Mobil 1, if you can.

Otherwise, the going rate there is $875. Basically, it was a $200+ increase across from the board between late July (when I first inquired) to early August (when I purchased). I have a feeling Toyota will be jacking the price up again in early Sept., so if you want one, get it now....

Anyway, how much does the routine 15k/30k/45k services each cost a la carte? I'm just calculating that if I paid the $875 to Midwest Superstore, than even if I factor 9 oil chages at $50 each, that's still $425 for those three services, which sounds a little high. And if you feel $50/oil change is high, then the price of the routine services gets even higher. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm confused. There was some talk about being directed to someone else for the warranty? Are you able to buy the official Gold or Platinum Toyota Warranty after the fact from Toyota? Or is it some kind of look-alike?
Thanks!

Just watch out for some of the aftermarket warrentees and I had one on a General Motors product and they went belly up the first year and left everyone holding the bag. most are a scam, better make sure its genuine Toyota.

Ken, thanks for much for the thorough reply.
I called the local Toyota dealer and they said it would be $1,200 for a 7/75/ $50 deductible platinum warranty. Is what I'm seeing here true, that other dealers are offering the same warranty for $700 or so? Seems odd.
Thanks so much all.

Toyota of Greenfield (MA) is one that comes to mind and Troy Detrich is the fellow to talk to for additional info. There are certainly others but I don't have first hand experience with any other the Troy at TOG.
7/75/50 for about $700 is in the ballpark.
Hope this helps,
J
