I'm new to club lexus. I purchased a 1998 gs400 w/ 59456 miles last month. Would it be a good Idea to purchase a service contract for this car? I know lexus has a reputation for producing a reliable product. Just wondered how you guys felt and if you thought they were a waist of money.

M - welcome to ClubLexus! I fixed your post so the picture would show for folks to see your fine new ride.

Couple of questions:

Is the service contract through the Lexus dealer? How much are they charging you for the contract? Have you seen the maintenance records for the GS?

and when you say service contract, what does it include? just maintenance? oil change? if so i would see... i have good mechanics i know, so i probably go outsidde to do those suff

if you're talking extended warranty, then you might want to talk to Lexus dealership or thrid party warranty company.

If your are talking about an extended warranty, you are better off saving your money!
IMO it's a big waste of money.

Hey, I love my GS but it has been anything but problem free. I thank the powers that be that I spent the extra money on a CPO. I spent the first two years working through all the problems and now have a relatively problem free car. Except for the creaks and rattles. I'll have to take car of those soon.

It's a bumper to bumper that includes electrical and towing. Does not cover oil changes or scheduled maint. $1500 for the contract. The good things is that they will finance the cost with 0% interest with 30% down. If I cancel they will give a prorated refund and it's transferable if I decide to sell the car. I was able to get the service history from the local Lexus dealer and all the services are up to date. My car now needs a 60000 mile service which I plan to do within the next couple of weeks. The warranty seems like a pretty good deal. Here's the URL:
