#16
GWC not lexus. since the car is so old lexus could only offer limited for $2600 for 2 yrs. this is exclusionary (bumper to bumber) he says for $2400 or 3yrs. i tried to find info on the company but cant find much although i guess they are popular. but since the car has been sitting for 2 yrs do you think if a problem arrises they will say that i couldve been from that over time?
Some Club Lexus members have reported good service with Mercury Insurance.
I know nothing about GWC but I found this link that may be biased. http://gwc-warranty.pissedconsumer.com

Based on the svc history that Flyct posted, I wonder what maintenance was done between 44k miles and 81 k miles. By my estimation, that should have been 3 or 4 synthetic oil changes, maybe a tranny flush, maybe a rear diff svc and probably a brake bleed and possibly rotor and pad replacement. But how to know if any or all of it was done ?

Hello. So I'm interested in this Lexus SC 430 it is in Out of state and it has 93,000 miles on it and is $12,900. Now before you judge this car is a beauty hopefully I can post pictures. Looking at the Carfax it was one owner very well taken care of although towards the end of ownership there was a two year gap of no services and lastly it failed and omissions test. I called the shop that was listed on the Carfax that the owner used religiously. When I spoke to the gentleman he knew exactly which car I was talking about and explain to me that the car belong to a 75-year-old man's son who had died of cancer two years ago hence the gap in service. The reason it failed the test was because it had been sitting so long it had to be driven for a few miles before it could pass but he said it was a great car he knew all about it and I'd be lucky to have it. Now with that being said I do have to pay for shipping of the car along with California taxes when it gets here the extended warranty is bumper-to-bumper and covers 38,000 miles or three years for $2400 added to the loan. It also has a couple of spots on the interior leather that needs to be fixed. I'm new to this form and would really appreciate some advice on whether I should get this car or not it has been my dream car for a while I have a RX 300 that had 200,000 miles (paid off) on it and I want to save whatever I have left in it while using this new beauty. I have never had an issue with my RX and I mean that NEVER! I always get everything done on time everything is up-to-date timing belt oil changes spark plugs everything and it has never given me any trouble other than tires or breaks minus the O2 sensor but that's it it's still running strong and great . I had an extended warranty on the RX
but I never used it and now regret buying it but I would hate to buy this car and not get the warranty and then something happens ...
