I have never quite understood the extended warrantee. Does it kick in after the original 3 year/36,000 mile warrantee is used up? or does it kick in after the 8 year/100,000 mile warrantee on the Hybrid stuff? or???
to quote myself from:

The Toyota Extra Care Platinum Plan (extended warranty) runs from the
in-service date of the vehicle (usually around the time that the
vehicle arrives at the dealership or you take delivery). For example,
if your in-service date (when you bought it probably, or a few days
before) is on Dec. 1, 2003:
* New Car bumper-to-bumper warranty is 3 years, 36,000 miles, which
covers you until Dec. 1, 2006 or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
* The 7 year/100,000 mile Toyota Extra Care Platinum Plan, would
cover you until Dec. 1, 2010 or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
So, if you buy the 7/100,000 extended warranty, it really only covers
you for an additional 4 years/64,000miles.
