Dark Horse Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hello All, I am contemplating trading my 2000 LS400 with 111K miles for a 2004 LS430 with 48K miles. Can anyone recommend a quality extended warranty? Any thoughts for what I should expect on a trade in value? Jade / Ivory - HID Lights, CD Changer, Moonroof, clean Carfax, no paint work, tires 50%, well maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiousB Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 My repairs of LS430 since December 2003 111,900 miles 22 or so oil changes New passenger side door mirror. Stuck in forward open position. Rear axle height sensor replaced (AFS light stuck on) Timing belt and water pump replaced at 90K miles Currently on 3rd set of tires Leak in exhaust Y pipe after primary catalytic converters but before secondary converter. Replaced one parking sonar sensor in bumper. So I haven't had much go wrong in 8 years of owning the car. Hopefully I haven't just cursed myself. You'll have to decide if extended warranty is worth it for you. It really is repair insurance not warranty. The manufactuer isn't backing it as a new vehicle. It is after the fact insurance. These car are expensive to repair if they fail but they don't fail often. You feelin lucky? Read the fine print, there are a lot of exclusions in these warranties.
