Replying to: solar2000 (Aug 18, 2007 4:18 pm) Hi Solar 2000 – Interesting post you put up. Let me say this. I just purchased a 08 RX350 AND the 7 year 100,000 mile warranty. Had the car for about a week and talked to a buddy of mine that works for Honda. He said why are you buying the warranty now?? You already have a 4/50000 mile warranty. Wait until just before your original warranty is due to expire and then buy if you still have the car. If you are financing the car think of the interest you are paying on the warranty alone! No, bad idea. So I went back to dealer and although they had processed my contract they agreed to pull out the warranty and all is well. Good Luck and Happy Driving! And by the way, once your original warranty has expired the costs in repairs etc are prohibitive, and I highly recommend buying your extended warranty at that time. Just don’t let your original warranty expire before you buy the extended warranty. Also, it will give you a much better picture of how many miles you drive per year, and in that way you can calculate how long an extended warranty you should buy. Don’t buy any of the other stuff like simonize etc. It’s a big rip off.
#16 of 24 Extended Warranties by joeyi Jun 24, 2009 (2:46 pm)
My factory warranty is about to come up on my 2005 RX 330 and I have been debating if I should purchase an extended warranty. I have recieved a qoute for $2350 for 7yrs/100,000 miles from my local Lexus dealership. Can anyone let me know if this is a good price or what amount has been paid for this warranty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I need to make my decision fairly quickly! Thanks!!

Replying to: joeyi (Jun 24, 2009 2:46 pm) If it is a Lexus warranty sounds like a fair deal. I purchased a 100,000 mile extended warranty from "First Automotive" for $2,061 when I purchased a 2005 RX330 which had 43,000 miles on it. I have not yet used the warranty so can't comment on it but if all coverages were equal , I would rather have Lexus warranty for the $300 additional. Mark D.

Replying to: joeyi (Jun 24, 2009 2:46 pm) You can get the extended warranty from other Lexus dealers. I found some contact info on another Lexus forum for dealers and quotes they gave were about $500 less than the listed price on the Lexus site. The quotes I requested were for platinum warranty for either 7yr/75k or 7yr/100k. Didn't buy it because I extended my lease, but will definitely buy the warranty if I eventually decide to buy my 2007 RX350. Not sure if it's ok to include in this post, but the forum where I found other dealer info for cheap extended warranty was Club Lexus.

Replying to: microbe (Dec 02, 2006 6:37 pm) You can get an exrtended warranty after the purchase as long as the vehicle did not exceed the original 4yrs/50kmiles threshold.   Iam shopping for extended warranties myself for an '07 RX350 and got some good prices from other dealers -not in CA.   Lowest so far have been from Lexus dealer in shreveport, LA and from webargain4u.com . Both well below $2k.   Joe Replies to this message: roblaw (Aug 17, 2009 3:05 am)

Replying to: joeyi (Jun 24, 2009 2:46 pm) You can get a 7yr/75k or 8yr/75k for about $1600-1800 at out of state Lexus dealers.--the platinum one also.   Joe

#23 of 24 Lexus extended warranty -- any experience with claims? by umn65 Aug 22, 2009 (9:43 am)
I know the RX 350 has very high reliability, and my experience is consistent with its reputation. But now that the car has 40,000 miles and I've decided to keep it at the end of the lease, I'd like to be protected against big repairs. Has anyone bought an extended warranty and then had any claims experience? Replies to this message: rparis (Sep 02, 2009 5:23 am)

Replying to: umn65 (Aug 22, 2009 9:43 am) My RX has over 100,000 miles on it and have had 0 repairs that would have been covered under a warranty. I have just done routine maintenance.
