flop170 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 in my personal experience i have always bought the extended warranty however i have never had to use it... and honestly really all it's ever done for me is made me upside down on the vehicle... so me personally i will never buy an extended warranty again.. but of course as soon as i do i'll need it... lol..

Thanks My answer to this question has always been: An extended warranty is worth the money if your total repair covered under the extended warranty cost more than the extended warranty itself :) Seriously, if you are considering after market warranty, be very careful, read all the restrictions and fine prints and ask for reference. Generally, rather or not I would buy an extended warranty policy depends on the car's reliability history and how long I plan to keep the car.

Thanks I always buy EW for my new car. With labor cost these days, especially Lexus, it's worth it. I bought my EW for my 07GS350 AWD for $1850 from Lexus to cover 7 yrs/100000 miles Platinum level, no deductible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeser Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just went through same analysis on my 2007 GS 350. I deceided not to, one reason was that the Roadside Assistance would not be part of the extended warranty offering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger28 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Just so you know the rear struts are $1150 to replace them both. I just had it done this week but was covered under warranty. It aslo covered my rear sunshade that was stuck up. If I had to pay it was $2200 to replace. I would think that you could find and extended warranty for around a thousand from some after market provder but be very careful about what they cover. These parts were covered under the Lexus Platinum warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
