I just saved almost 700.00 on a Toyota Extended Warranty. This is NOT an aftermarket warranty. The dealer where I bought my car wanted list price (1350.00 for 6 year 100,000 mile coverage). At that price I declined.
What I don't think is widely known is that you can buy an extended warranty from any dealer. It does not have to be bought from the dealer that you bought your car from. There are 2 who seem to be well know on various forums and have very aggressive pricing: Midwest Toyota in Kansas
(800-530-5789) and Greenfield Toyota in Mass(413- 772-0989). I'm sure there are others.
Toyota list prices can be found here:

For my car (Rav4) the 6 year 100,000 is listed at 1350.00. I purchased mine from Midwest Toyota for 654.00. Just a heads up for anyone buying a new Toyota and interested in an extended warranty.

Toyota and Honda source virtually all of their parts from asian manufacturers. We might assemble it here, but that's a fairly small piece of the pie.
GM and Chrysler may be hemorrhaging money, but Delphi, Champion, Faurecia, Delco Remy, Mallory, etc. still employ tons of people.
These people pay taxes, no?

In such a context, the distinction between "American" and "foreign" vehicles has become blurred (see figure 1). The press has noted that some models produced by the American-owned Detroit Three carmakers have lower domestic content than vehicles produced in the U.S. by foreign-owned carmakers, such as Honda and Toyota. For example, in model year 2006, the Ford Mustang had 65% domestic content and the Chevrolet Suburban 67%-both less than the Honda Accord at 70% and the Toyota Camry at 80%.3 In this Chicago Fed Letter, we illustrate two different ways to calculate domestic content of motor vehicles sold in the U.S.
The cars made by the foreign manufacturers in the US use a higher percentage of domestic content than the cars made in the US by the big 3.
And a lot of Fords and GMs that you see out on the roads are made either in Canada or Mexico, including all Crown Victorias...
I would love to see all americans get re-trained in fields that matter and have some sort of functional retirement plan, I'm just not sure what those are anymore.
I had no idea we'd reached anything like parity (per the article this is a fairly recent development).
I've owned a couple of Toyota's and I'd be hard pressed to identify a single part on either of them that came from this hemisphere.
"Underlying the convergence in the aggregate numbers, however, were substantial variations among individual carmakers. Among the Detroit Three, Chrysler had 71.3% domestic content in 2006, compared with just above 80% for both Ford and GM. Among Asianowned carmakers producing vehicles in the U.S. and Canada, domestic content ranged from 76.3% at Toyota to 18% at Hyundai. Among the two German-owned carmakers, BMW used only 31.7% domestic content in the vehicles produced at its South Carolina assembly plants, while Mercedes-Benz used 62% at its Alabama assembly plant."

He found 5% for us instead of the 7.9 but with the extended warranty and oil change.
Both of us gained, he got the warranty/oil change and we got the 5%.
So our warranty and oil change became free.
$420 a month, 72 mos at 7.9% without the warranty/oil change
$420 a month, 72 mos at 5% with warranty/oil change.
