Im thinking of buying this used 2003 sc 430 it has a 3 mo powertrain warranty but the dealership offered me GWC exclusionary (bumper to bumper factory warranty) for 3yrs or 38500 for $2400. is it worth it? how hard is a claim. the car has been in a garage for 2 yrs (due to the owners death) will they try to use that as an excuse not to fix things by saying 'over time' it couldve happened therefore denying my claim. i know extended warranties can be tricky or useless and im a female.....potentially clueless to these things. i have a rx 300 (2003) and had an extended on it (diff company) that i never had to use....Never had an issue to this day (2007000 miles) i stand by the brand but idk. it was well taken care of by the owner according to the carfax and i called the shop he religiously took it to (i saw the name on the carfax and called (a toyota dealership shop)) the gentleman knew excactly which car i was speaking of which is how i learned the history of the guys death and he swore by it and said i was lucky to have it. he has never seen any issues with this car over the ten years that the gentleman had it....

is this the company?

A+ rating on BBB with lots of complaints, the other website is full of hate.

thanks! ill look into it. as far as the car goes with no known history of issues, and being in the garage for 2 yrs. do you think ill be ok without one as long as i do the recommended services?

Norrmally I would recommend taking it to a Lexus dealer for a PPI (pre purchase inspection), but its seems as tho it was maintained well...maybe that toyota dealer has a complete list of service records they could give you?

just the little I read about GWC I would pass --- take the $2400 you would pay for the warranty and put it in a separate savings account if ever needed for repairs.
