Make sure you know what type of EW they offered.
There are gold and platinum. Platinum costs more, but covers more parts.
I say buy only the EW, not the 50K service.
I saved $700 on 7yrs/100K miles/$0 deductible/platinum
when I showed them an on-line quote from another Lexus
dealer.

I looked at Auto repair Warranty. online they appear to be covering all bases. and very affordable bumper to bumper coverage.

$1860 for 7yrs/100K/$0 deductible, Platinum coverage. It's
a Lexus warranty.

Compare the list of their scheduled maintenace and included items to the schedule in the owners manual. Most of the time these prepaid maintenance plan may include a lot of items that may be a good ideal, but are not specifically recommended by the manufacturer. Yes, you do need to have the oil & filter changed on a regular schedule but using a $40 per change cost, that works out to maybe $400. Now find out the other services required by the manufacturer and also the cost of the Extended Warranty.
 
So, if the extended warranty cost $2000 for example and the oil changes are $400, the total is $2400. So, you need to find out if the remaining required items are worth $1600 (assuming $4000 cost.)

I believe they charge $100 per oil change visit. The first
oil change is on the house.

I think you got a great price on the car. Would you mind sharing what dealer or online program you used?

Extended Warranty for a Lexus Hybrid SUV by akg

My Good buddy is going to buy a brand new 400 series Lexus Hybrid SUV in Northern California. He wants an extended warranty. When I have bought mine in the past I have always gone to Edmunds first and have always found some dealership many states away that I can get a better deal with. Any suggestions on which way to lead him? Thanks!

Hi guys, just wanted an opinion from some of you experienced owners..
 
I just bought a 2008 RX350 today.
 
What do you think about the extended warranty plan? 7 yr/75000 miles or 7 yr/100000 miles? Is it worth it? How much are lexus repairs beyond the 4 year mark? I know it's too early to tell but those of you with the 300's.. I just made my down payment, and have a chance to buy one of these options (such as the simonize thing and other stuff) before my final deal is done (i'm already committed...paid a significant deposit already).
 
thanks in advance for your opinions.
