Default Best/cheapest dealership that offers extended warranty (in Bay area) or CA??

I just bought a used 2011 RX 350 with 43,000 from the Lexus dealership. I know I have until 50, 000K to buy an extended warranty. The dealership wanted to charge me $3800 for 7years/120K, Platinum plan, which I thought was high. I'm trying to shop around and researched that I can buy at any dealership and compare prices. I'm most worried about the electronics/navi on this car and other things wearing down.

I was reading that the 7 years starts from original time of purchase which means that's 3 years already into the extended warranty. I researched there are other plans that start as the date of purchase and not starting from original purchase date.

Would you get an extended warranty and if anyone has, where did you buy it ? Who do you recommend? Can you only buy it in CA, because out of state is less expensive.

Thanks.

You bought this from a Lexus dealership and is not a Certified Lexus Pre-Owned vehicle?

Moderators, this needs to either be moved to 3rd Generation RX or to the appropriate regional forum.

Buy one from Troy Dietrich Greenfield Toyota 413-772-0231


Around 40% cheaper and no sales tax.

moving to 3RX.....

OP: do a search on extended warranty and you should find a few recommendations

If your car is a CPO - you have to get extended warranty at time of purchase

I bought the extended warranty for my IS out of state - and it's about 40% cheaper

Try Lexus of Stevens Creek. My wife's RX wasn't certified but we got a great deal on the extended warranty which is 7 years/120K platinum plan for $2000. I forget what the finance guy name was but I will try and find out for you when I get home.
