I am about to settle the paper work & pick up my 2008 Toyota Rav4 (4cyl Ltd) in a couple of days. My question is this: Are extended warranties and car protection packages (rust proofing, paint protection etc.) etc. worth getting? From what I have read, most books say no, - but I wanted to ask all of you directly.

I sell cars for a living .... dont tell anyone but no their not. but I make more on the warrenty than the car sometimes! the piaint protection is nice gives it a baby soft feel but interior is a heavy scotch guard and you can buy that at wallmart, but actual warrenty on the vehicle itself, Come on man.... its a toyota!!! haha it prob has the 4 year factory right?

Yeah! This warranty will pay for your vehicle's covered repairs after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. If you want more about extended warranty then I would like to prefer a site called http://www.extendedwarrantyshopper.com/ you can get all about extended warranty. Hope this will help you. All the best!

Not usually worth it, i did beat the living crap out of my daily driver hyundai with the 100,000 mile warranty and boy did they hate me untill 98,000 miles when it got totaled

its a toyota rav4 i doubt your gonna be beating on it. i wouldnt waste the money personally but it all depends on how much the warranty costs and make sure you read the fine print on the warranty. and how many miles/years is the warranty going to cover and whats the factory warranty good till?

I dont know its hard to say. My friend bought an 05 GT that was a previous lease from a dealer, and the tranny gave out within a couple weeks. Since they recreated a warranty when they resold it, the dealer paid for it. But youre buying a new car that youre prolly not going to bang through the gears like that so its a tough call. Average your answers you get from the thread.

That's a great story right there...

not worth it.... UNLESS, your going to leave it stock, AND BEAT THE EVER LOVIN CRAP OUTA IT EVERYDAY!!!! .... then its worth it

I'm going to say NO!
I'd go onto a Rav 4 forum and ask them.They know more about that particular model than any of us here.(I hope)

It depends. I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and I beat the hell out of that on the trails and everything was coverd, well except when I almost rolled it and landed on the tale gate. I had to buy a new one. If your going to run it hard, and Bang through the gears every day, then yes. If not and your gona baby it, then no.
