I think that's a great price. I believe the retail is $2200.

This is a quote I recieved on a 250 AWD.
Email or call him.
I've bought a plan from this guy before on a Toyota.
Genuine Lexus/Toyota Platimum warranties



I am currently offering the Lexus Platinum Program for 7 yrs / 100,000 miles
w/ $0 deductible for $1415.00 and the 7 yr / 75,000 mile plan for $1130.00
on the IS250.

Most of the details on the Platinum plans can be found directly at the
Lexus website at the following link, including all the various terms and
options available, just let me know if you would like a quote on a different
plan.

http://www.lexus.com/models/IS/warra...rotection.html

Here are the purchase instructions if / when you decide to purchase.

I would need you to mail me an original signed letter indicating the exact
current mileage on your vehicle, and a copy of your current registration.(If
you are in a state where you don't get your state registration right away, I
can also use a copy of the bill of sale, purchase contract, or some other
official document which shows the owners name and address, along with the
vehicles VIN)

Sorry, I know its a little inconvenient, but its the only way we could come
up to cover ourselves on the mileage and VIN verification. After I receive
your letter, I can call you for credit card info, if that's how you choose
to pay, or you can include a check, money order, or the credit card info
with it. Also, make sure that the registration copy is legible (I have
gotten a couple of them recently that I couldn't read or had part of the VIN
chopped off on the copy).

Mail to:

Toyota of Greenfield
12 Olive Street
Greenfield, MA 01301

Attn: Troy Dietrich

Please call or email me if you think of any more questions. My phone number
is (413) 772-0989.

Thanks,

Troy

that price seems pretty good. just make sure it is an OFFICIAL Lexus warranty.

when i bought my 1st lexus (is300) i bought the extended warranty but i was lied to by the salesman at Lexus of Valencia. the warranty was not a lexus warranty despite the fact that i was assured that i was buying the lexus gold warranty. this caused headaches when getting certain things replaced and ended up costing me a lil more when repairs were needed.

Keep in mind the warranty is which ever comes first of 7 years or 100k. If your car is 8 years old with only 50k on it...too bad the warranty would have been up at the 7 year mark (of course right before it expires, the dealership usually makes an attempt to get you to buy an extension).

The guy is legit.Google him.
Official paperwork and booklet comes from Toyota/Lexus in 7-10 days or so.
No sales tax if you live out of MA.
I bought a 7/100 Toyota Platimum warranty($880) on the '07 Camry XLE I owned.
Sold the car after hitting a deer and got about 85% of my cost back.

He works for Toyota of Greenfield in MA.
You can buy a Toyota/Lexus warranty from any US Toyota/Lexus dealer.

I got mine from Troy for $1,655 for my IS350 (7/100K, $0 deductible). Great guy. Highly recommended.

it says that i need to keep up with routine scheduled maint. does that mean i have to go to the dealership for all maint (for example, oil changes?) I plan on doing my own oil changes once my 2 free ones with the dealer at up. would that make me ineligible?

also, i only have 600 miles on my car right now, when is the latest time / milage i can buy an extended warrenty?

thanks

You can do them your self but you need to have proof of this Keep those receipts for records of everything you buy. I personally have never had an issue in the past and I always do the maintenance myself....

If you want, I can see what kind of price I can get for you. My family owns one of the top two extended warranty companies in the nation. Lemme know!
