Wow, don't know what happened there. For some reason the details did not show up in the post. Here we go:

05 AWD RX330, Flint Mica, 33,500 mile, Nav, heated seats, no ML sound. Car is pretty much perfect. During the certification process they had to replace all 4 tires, Hankook 235/55/18's. Wheels are custom chromed from previous owner. Remote starter with two keys/fobs. All docs, first aid kit, even the sticker from the original sale. Total - $25,800 before extending the warranty extra 3 years, tire and rim protection, and tax. We love it!

Sounds about right. I just bot an '06 with 17300 miles for a few grand more. I don't have NAV however. I also bot the 3 additional years.

You did great! It is a CPO then? Lexus certified or dealer certified? Congrats!

It is Lexus CPO. So I have a total of 6 years 100,000 mile of warranty. And there is only 33,800 on it now. The fact that they put brand new tires on it was great. I'm taking it in for service next week because I keep hearing squeaks and the first time we washed it I saw condensation in one headlight. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Get the condensation TSB done. It should be covered 100%.

What do they charge for 1, 2 and 3 year extensions to the 3yr/100K cpo warranty? Thanks.

I paid $2000 even for a 3 year extention....so I now have a total of 6 years from the date I bot it (May 5th 2009) or 100,000 miles total. We put about 11 to 12 K per year and the vehicle had 17300 to start so we should make it for the entire 6 years before hitting 100K.

Hey daryll, I have two 04's, one creaks, the other doesn't, what is the cause? Hope gsgarcia has good luck with his, the price was right and it looks extremely clean, the warranty is worth the price of peace of mind.

Congrats,
Nice color, one of my fav in the RX. As for the price goes, that's under the bridge now.
