Toyota dealer cover query

    I'm looking at a four year old Fiesta for sale at a Toyota main dealership, which would come with a one year Toyota warranty.

    I was advised that the Toyota warranty does not cover "consumables", including the clutch and brakes. Would this be the norm for dealer warranties to not cover these items?

    Yes I think so.

    You have the option of extending the warranty to 2 years now, get a price from dealer on this.

    The two year upgrade is only available to Toyota models, as a warranty the dealer cover warranty is one of the best out there.

    No warranty out there covers consumables, by their very definition consumables are parts that have a certain life span depending on their use. Warranty will only cover parts that fail prematurely.
