    I just bought a 2006 Prius this week. I found out about this site and gladly signed up. Certainly, the first thing that caught my eye is the extended warranty forum.

    First, a question.

    I read this on a website.

    "The State of California has passed legislation that prohibits quoting or selling extended service contracts (extended warranties) to California residents by anyone other than the selling automobile dealer. In order to comply with this legislation of your state, we are unable to provide price quotes or offer to sell extended service contracts to California residents."

    It sounds very official. Could anyone verify this?

    It seems that this legislation prohibits sales of any extended warranty to any car/model from anyone else other than the original selling dealer. I certainly have doubts about this.

    Appreciate any enlightment.

    Unless the law includes forced price-matching with the lowest warranty available elsewhere in the US, it sounds like a win for the dealers and nobody else.

    Unless it's a fake...
