In the latest news to win back customers after the accelerator debacle of some of their cars, Toyota is now offering a great deal in order to create some piece of mind. The latest deal covers all new cars purchased from 27th of March 2010 and means that you can choose either a warranty that covers five years over the initial three or a free three year service plan.
Which would I choose? Well, let’s put it this way. A service could be arranged through a main dealer, a specialist or your local garage. However, something going badly wrong just after your three year warranty could mean that you are very much out of pocket. Another consideration is that if you sell your new Toyota after a couple of years, you may be able to transfer the balance of the warranty. This will be quite a good sales tool and could potentially add a little more value to the car.
It’s good to see Toyota offering this and it would certainly make me consider a Toyota after their recent problems (remember, for quite a while they’ve had an extremely good record).
