jarcara Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I have a 2000 LX470 with 67000 miles and I am considering the extended warranty for 3 years or 36K miles. I had an out of warranty problem with my mirrors that lexus ended up paying for the mirrors ($1,200) and I had to pay labor $95. I hear not much is supposed to go wrong but when it does it's expensive. Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with this? it the lexus gold plan. I have to have it inspected first.

dougjohn Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I don't know what plan I ended up with (i.e. gold or otherwise) when I bought my 450, but I made good use of it and am planning on one more visit to (hopefully) get the ps steering pump replaced under warranty. I bought the 450 as a CPO which extended the coverage to 3 years/100k miles. It covered everything - bumper to bumper except for normal wear items (brake pads, rotors, etc), the clock, and anything chromed (such as the antenna -- however the internal mecanicals of the antenna is covered). Much of what I had done was minor, but it would've easily added up to well over $4000 in parts and labor. The other benefit was the loaner provided by Lexus. You may want to check with them to ensure you get a loaner under this plan. It may not be for everyone, but I'm glad I had it. Good luck.

Andrewsreef Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Not completely sure about the LX470 but my LX450 is a maintance nightmare so I would say get the warranty. Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxnharry Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 As an side, I purchased a third-party warranty from Warranty Gold (7 years/100K)and two years after purchasing it, their underwriting firm went out of business. I would ask some serious questions about who is underwriting the policy, how long they are in business, etc before shelling out any money.
