My husband is a service advisor and knows for a fact that these items are not covered. The good news is you can cancel that warranty and receive a 100% refund if you do it right away. Just wanted to let you know....

Replying to: lexusgirl1 (Jul 07, 2006 3:34 pm) Now, when was the last time you heard of a Lexus breaking a timing chain? A Jaguar, yes, cause I've seen it and the CP $$ are ugly (if your the customer) or very healthy (if your the store/advisor)but since it is mechanical, they MIGHT pay (depending on company & level of coverage) Plus, most stores will ask the client for diagnostic times or estimates ($$) before any work is even done regardless of the warranty purchased. That way, if the warranty company declines, the tech still gets paid. Do yourself a favor ... cancel the warranty and get your money back .. with a Lexus, you WON'T need it. Take that money & put it in an CD or investment account and in 4 yrs (when the warranty is up)the money in that account should more than cover a major repair (if even needed)on your Lexus. Hey Lexusgirl1, you work for Lexus & your hubby for Honda. Ever get into the "whose got better quality" issue debate? If you can't already tell, I "share your passion" for the industry - just look at my "screenname". I would love to "swap war stories" but don't want you or I to post e mail address in such a public forum. Do you have a "car site" e mail address we could xchange ideas into?

Since July 1, has anyone been able to buy an IS250 AWG for no more than $1,000 over invoice? I'm not looking for a specific dealership, just want some idea of how hard to push a local dealer. Thanks!

| hey guys, so this forums been insanely helpful, ive been following since september... just got my IS250 with nav, premium, spoiler, accessory package, 18inch rims (smokey granite w/ black interior) for 33,000......... thats a great deal from what ive been reading. I got it from Lexus if Newport Beach, just opened a week ago and they have a pretty good selection and are willing to deal (btw beautiful dealership... makes fletcher jones mercedes look like sh*&). Oh and some people were debating about the standard sound system before... we have a SC430 and LS430 with mark levinson and in my opinion the standard IS250 sound system sounds better (not to say it sounds better than the surround sound systems now available in the IS/GS/ES) but def better than the older generation ML sound systems IMO... | |

Replying to: benzoservceguy (Jul 07, 2006 10:50 pm) You asked if my husband and I get into the Honda vs Lexus debate..... no because there is NO comparison! He knows it and I know it! Lexus blows Honda (and Acura too for that matter) out of the water! My husband was so disappointed with the quality of the current Honda/Acura line that he actually traded his RSX Type S in and bought a Subaru WRX STi! I was shocked because he ALWAYS drove Honda/Acura products. He likes my IS250 but thinks it is too slow! He would have preferred the IS350 but even getting it for invoice (since I work there) was too pricey for me! I LOVE MY IS 250!!! It is plenty fast for me and my 4 year old (who needs to go that fast when they have such precious cargo on board).

I ordered mine this week by putting a non-refundable deposit down. Auto, Nav, 18" wheels, Z1 package and rear spoiler. Can other buyers please share your experience on how long it take for the car to arrive? I was told that the estimated time is four months but it always comes earlier than that. What are your experiences? |
