i bought a 2025 camry a week ago and decided i don’t want the extended warranty anymore. i called the finance guy to cancel it, and he said if i do, my interest rate will go up from 4.99% to 6.99%, and instead of my loan being $31,500, it would go up to $33,500.
how is this possible when i already signed all the paperwork and toyota financial approved me for 4.99% at $31,500 plus the $4,700 extended warranty i don’t want anymore
he’s lying. also, toyota financial is a nightmare. if their website glitches and your payment doesn’t go through, your credit will take a hit. happened to me, and when i called, they told me the payment went through, but it didn’t. ended up just paying the car off to avoid the headache.
if you can, check with a credit union for a better loan. also, some dealerships are way less shady.
ask him to send everything in writing by email so you can go through the fine print yourself. if he refuses, ask for a manager. you have the right to cancel the warranty.
you can always buy the factory warranty later if you still want coverage. as long as you get it before your standard warranty runs out, you can buy it from any dealer, usually for a lot cheaper.
your apr should not change. he’s just making stuff up. canceling should lower what you owe but keep your payment the same. if he won’t do it, talk to someone else.
