Based on this discussion, I did some reading and called Toyota.
1) The warranty is the same price anytime before the new car warranty
expires. So there is no reason to buy it now, when I can buy it 35,000
miles from now; might as well hold onto my money. That is correct, isn't
it?
2) The suggested retail on Toyota's website for the 6/75 is $875 and my
dealer wants $1,400! Argh. I haven't managed to reach any of the cheaper
people but according to the other threads, they are like $400. I am reading
this right, aren't I?

Yeh I know Toyotas are great and I will never need $400 worth of repairs,
but I just had $1,000 on my 5 year old Dodge, and $400 sounds like cheap
insurance.

Thanks.
