Extended Warranty and Service Agreements

When we bought our 2004 Highlander we received the hard sell from the Financial person for both an extended warranty and service agreement. We went for both (dumb). After researching the recommended service for our driving conditions we canceled the service agreement and got our money back. I suppose the extended warranty made us feel warm and fuzzy for the 7 years it covered but we never needed it. They wouldn't try so hard to sell it if they weren't making money on it. The financial person even gets a commission, that tells you something.

Having read this posting on coverage of the electronics, Beware of ECP and electronics | PriusChat my decision to not get the extended warranty for our new Prius Three is reinforced. The financial person wasn't happy when I shut him down before he could even start his sales pitch.

What is your opinion on extended warranties for the 2012 Prius?

 

It probably was but I didn't see it anywhere and the other posting got my attention.
