Default Def a warranty if you're not a DIY guy. If DIY...you've got yourself a bargain! It blows my mind

how the prices have come down! You get soooooo much car for a new Camry money!

Default Email me if you want warranty info.....more inside

Full coverage (relatively speaking) warranties, term of 48 months with unlimited mileage, are around $2500-$2900 depending on options like labor rate desired and deductible amount, if any. But that covers a LOT more than just engine/trans.

But you can get powertrain only warranty for a lot less to just give you peace of mind and take away the worry of the "holy ****...how much???" kinds of repairs. About $1500 for something good.

Email me if interested. Also, verify the in-service date of the car and see if it's still covered...then you can buy it worry-free and decide what else to get for a warranty while you drive it.

yeah, the '04+ A8L w/CPO is a better bang for the buck, imo. on sport settings, it rides like an S8
