ennui

Thanks for the replies. I do understand that this does not cover maintenance. We are trying to determine if paying $2210 for an extra 3 years of insurance against stuff like the nav or the rear camera or the steering wheel telescoping motors is worth it. I'm going to guess that any one of those things breaking will eat up close to or over $2210 by itself. I'll get the camera out today and try to take some photos.

I just bought a 2005 Lexus LS 430 in Mercury Metallic with the black interior. Just wanted to check in and say hi. Seems like there is a thriving community of Lexus owners here. Couple of questions: 1. We paid $27K for the car, not including TTL. It's super clean (only one minor scratch on the rear bumper), accident-free, CPO, and has only 37K miles on it. I got the headlamp washers, but no rear massagers so I'm guessing this has the "Custom Luxury Selection" option group. Not sure how good of a deal this is; any comments? 2. The CPO warranty is 3 years from date of purchase/100k total miles. I was offered to extend the CPO warranty to 6 years from date of purchase/100k total miles for $2210. We plan on driving the car into the ground, and we probably will not exceed 100k total miles in the next 6 years. I'm wondering what folks think about buying this option. I've read that the LS 430 is extremely reliable, but at the same time if something like the rear camera or nav system breaks, it can easily cost more than $2210.
