Amazingly, if my 2014 car had been CPO warrantied thru 2020, the Lexus Platinum would have provided unlimited mileage coverage through 2028. The 8 years kick in after the CPO warranty runs out, not from the date of first purchase as for a non-CPO car!!
This is how I plan on buying a '15 (Just found out that is when 8th gen nav)

I've been reading up on the control arm issue, that's kind of a big letdown compared to previous LS models, but what exactly will happen if you left them alone and didn't change them? Is it a safety issue, or would it just ride poorly?

Toby Rivers of Shreveport Lexus confirmed that the Lexus Platinum warranty would cover all air suspension components. He didn't give me a list of covered items, but I specifically asked about wear/tear exclusions, and he said everything was covered. 3rd party warranties may be different.

Yeah, but will they sell me a Lexus Plat warranty?


I think the boat has sailed on that one for me @ 88K miles. Lol.
