    Just purchased a VSA from Jerry for my 24 4runner after finding his name on this forum and the Tacoma World forum. I am glad I didn't purchase the VSA from the dealer I purchased the 4Runner from as he initially quoted me double of what I just paid, though he did bring his offer down some after I first declined. I told the finance guy I wanted to do some research on other warranties, he told me once I leave it is a used vehicle and no longer eligible, glad I waited and decided to do some research. I bought the 10 year/ 125,000 mile one. I am sure the VSA will time out before the mileage hits.

    Aren’t most issues you’d address on a 4Runner ones that most people that drive average miles would only see pop up after the 10 year mark?

    Only early question marks for me are maybe the electronic safety gizmos and a few sensors? But a big benefit of this platform is its exceptional reliability.

    Granted I put on way less than average miles so these kinds of warranties make no sense for me anyway. But I’d probably do it if I drove it over 10K miles a year.

    $1800.00, my main concern is all the electronics/ safety features.

    And lied to you about leaving and no longer being eligible. You can but the thing while the vehicle is still under the 3/36 warranty. You should let Toyota know. Ridiculous.

    I purchased mine from Troy Dietrich. His prices were almost identical to Jerry Johnson’s. The only difference was Troy did not charge a fee for using a credit card. This was his pricing in January for Platinum coverage and zero deductible.

    Just purchased a VSA from Jerry yesterday, very nice guy, enjoyable to talk to. $1360 for a 10/100,000 mile extended Warranty. The dealership I went to when I picked up my 24 4Runner TRD ORP was charging over 3k 7/75,000 and would not negotiate.

    thanks for this recent info
    My 4runner is supposed to be here May 14 or 15, and I have to face the warranty sales pitch before then

    appreciate the info here...

    Seems like an obvious question to me, but why would I buy an extended warranty when buying?
    That warranty I just paid is for running the same time as the factory 36 month warranty...
    Why wouldn't one just wait til 35 months in, then buy the extended warranty rather than paying during existing warranty?

    This is from another post on the first page.


    I just read the VSA brochure Jerry sent me. You can buy these up to 36 months after vehicle sold. The warranty expires after the time period selected is reached measured from 0 miles. So a 100,000 mile warranty expires when odometer reaches 100,000 miles. Not 100,000 miles after you bought it.

    I understand that point,
    but if I buy it with zero miles, then sell the car (or it gets hit by a train) 35 months later, then they pro-rate my warranty from day 1...
    I am paying extra for time already covered by the factory warranty

    of course, 3 years from now the price may be doubled...

    This is true. Since I only drive my 4Runner about 7K miles per year, I basically purchased peace of mind for an additional 7 years. I watched a video on a guy with a 2020 TRD Pro who was on his 3rd master cylinder (covered under the factory warranty). So I looked up the price without labor and figured with just one repair I would pretty much be a break even. I would recommend checking the entire liftgate area for rust before the factory 3/36 warranty expires because that will not be covered afterwards.IMG_0631.png

    Bus]. Question, is that 100,000 additional miles or to a total of 100,000 miles? I bought a 23 Limited two weeks ago with 60,000 miles on it. Dealer wanted $4,000+ for the extended warranty, When I said no it was $2,800, then I really said no. I didn't delve into what it actually covered. My Tundra has almost 200,000 miles on it and has never been in the shop but the 4R has a lot more technology.

    Total, so you would only be getting 40,000 miles or 10 years from it’s original sale date (first owner) whichever comes first.
