2008m3 Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 3 days after taking delivery of my car I registered my car on lexus.com to find out that my car was purchased from tacoma, washington with a build date of 4/10 and my dealer took the car in on 9/10. In my account, I found out that the car only had 11 miles and already had a check engine light, awd drive warning light, and a tpms light, which was serviced and fixed. This of course was never disclosed to me. If I knew the car had these problems at 11 miles I would have chosen the other car that was also available. The dealer tells me that I have nothing to worry about because it was a dead battery that set off the check engine light and the awd light and the tpms light. The dealer said they re-charged the battery, checked and reset all the codes, and everything checked out ok. Would asking the dealer to extend the warranty be reasonable? What should I ask from the dealer as compensation?

Ask the dealer what was the engine code. Then google it and find out exactly what it is. Sound fishy to me.
