#1 of 5 ES 350 - 2007 New Transmission - what will be the right cost? by bobthedude Sep 12, 2007 (7:26 am)
Some dealer "Golden Valley" is selling 2007 ES 350 and says that these are the 350's that Lexus bought back and put in a new transmission. They come with a certificate from Lexus with the date and the work done. Is this a good vehicle to buy? Any issues with buying sight unseen for a unauthorised dealer? With Nav/Mark Levinson package and 4000 miles $36K. Replies to this message: zekeman1 (Sep 12, 2007 2:06 pm) jaspalb (Sep 13, 2007 6:39 pm)

Replying to: bobthedude (Sep 12, 2007 7:26 am) Since such buy-backs sold with new transmission are not many, there is no direction on price. It all depends on your comfort level and risk you are willing to take. May be the car you have in sight is as good as new, may be it has flaws you don't know. What is discount on that chance, only you can decide. For me, I wouldn't pay $36K. I might consider $32K, but if it is a good car, seller won't accept that.
#4 of 5 Extended Warranty by shakm Apr 12, 2009 (9:35 am)
Need help in deciding to buy extended warranty - Last week I bought Certified pre-owned Lexus ES350 - 2007 model w/Nav has 23000 miles. Comes with 3yr/100k miles bumper to bumper coverage from Lexus. The dealer is trying to sell extended warranty for $2500 which will cover 6yrs/125k miles. Is it worth? any advice from existing Lexus 350 owners will be great.

Replying to: shakm (Apr 12, 2009 9:35 am) You can buy an extended warranty until the orginal warranty runs out. It might be more expensive then but there are pluses to waiting. What if you don't keep the car? What if you total the vehicle? What did you pay for your car?
