Warranty Options - Do I have any?
Hi Guys,
Bought my IS350 with 99,2XX miles, it's an 06 and see some issues that could have benefitted from a warranty like - LEDs on the Instrument Cluster fading/dying, the Black spots on the Rear View mirror
My question is simple - Do I have any Lexus or Third Party warranty options that I could actually get and get use from that will help solve issues like that?
Please let me know, thank you.

I'm not sure about any third party warranties, but I have found a site that can repair the LEDs on the gauges. I haven't used the service yet, but I saved it just in case I need it.

Radar-mirror.com can repair the black spots on the mirrors.

you can always find someone willing to take your money in exchange for promises of coverage, but likely the costs will outweigh the benefits.
Most Manufacturer warranties end at 120 K, as I remember them

I have heard nightmare stories about third party warranties, diablo, but also some good ones. That's why I am posting here to see if someone had a good experience they can share with me? Thanks!

You're right...
Yeah most likely it's true... but it doesn't hurt asking, right ?

You can get a Lexus Platinum warranty for your car if it's less than 9 years old and 120,000 miles. Not cheap but it's available. It doesn't cover pre-existing conditions so if they inspect the car first, you may be SOL. Talk to the finance manager at your local dealership.

Anyone have this warranty? What did it cost?

Even if you can, it's not guaranteed that Lexus will pay for repairs of those problems if you read the fine print. I would just repair those problems out of pocket instead of paying for insurance to get them repair A lot of people on this forum have the same 2 problems you have and there are relatively cheap (considering Lexus) way to repair them without going through the dealer.
