    I'm ready to buy a Prius C. Is there an online source for a "best" price for an extended warranty? Should i buy the warranty now or wait until the 3 year manufacturer warranty expires?

    Where can I find the actual dealer cost of the car I want?

    Thanks for any help.

    Shop it, plenty of markup in the Platinum warranty. Personally the Prius is so reliable I think it is a waste of money

    Lots of threads here on extended warranty if you use the site's search. I don't like the odds that it would ever pay off considering the average extended warranty company pays out ~30% in warranty claims and keeps ~70% for commissions, profits, administrative and marketing.
