Default Extended Warranty coverage (serial spammer revealed)

I was looking for coverage for my IS 300 and the dealer really had no decent options. I looked around and found http://www.*****************.com and they seemed to have pretty good coverage and a fair rate. I saw the contract before I bought and I thought that was very important.

Default Ban?

Ban? I looked through this forum for over and hour found no information to help me. I went to an outside source and they were able to help. That is why you would want to BAN this. Wow, that is ridiculous.

no, chrono (and me for that matter) seems to believe that you're just shamelessly plugging your own site

oh, and if u searched this forum for ~30sec you would have found MANY options for used/new wheel purchase and repair.
that sites loose affiliate program isnt helping your case either...

that is all....

Default re:warranty

Hi,
My Gs300 AWD had 47k mile within 2 yrs of service. I was offered by Local Lexus dealer to extend the warranty to 3 yrs and up to 100k bumper to bumper,whichever comes firsrt for $1500.00 with no deductible. It sounded real good. I almost took it but traded in my car for Gs350 instead.
Take care

Oh really? A little digging finds details linked below clearly relating Jim Taylor to the website you are pimping as if you are sharing a valuable tidbit of information with our members when you're clearly spamming and advertising. Our members are pretty savvy about this tactic, Jim.

http://groups.msn.com/HotAirTurboBui...=2&sortstring= and http://www.interlinkexchange.com/review.aspx?lid=100
(I've got a PDF printed I can attach if you decide you want to clear that out)

The AZ warranty site - which I'm about to censor because of your spamming our forum - is clearly associated with "jimtaylor678@yahoo.com" from the link above. Not a lot of guessing required any longer, Jim.

Joining our forum to post as if you were an independent party and just 'found' this information is misleading at best and VERY unethical and VERY sleazy.

I'd expect you to apologize to our forum and community for your spam and for ignoring our forum rules that you agreed to follow when you joined Club Lexus. Jim, I see from a little google research that you are a member of the BBB. If you'd like me to take the time to write them a letter, and possibly send an update to that newspaper that mentioned your company in the 2003 article about the AZ BBB please be polite and prompt.

PS from time to time I may google your URL to see if you're continuing doing this to other forums (as you did below) and share the information gathered everywhere you post and let people make up their own mind if your comment is a fair assessment of a company or advertising spam. The automotive forum admin community also has plenty of support for each other

Good folks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I called http://www.*****************.com and they took the time to show me the contract before I bought and I could do my homework. The dealer gave me a brochure and said take it or leave. I left it. For up to 125 on the odometer for less than 3500.00 it was a great value in my opinion.

getting a warranty « » 6:00 PM 2/12/2008


I've had my passat for a little more than 3 years and recently started to receive annoying phone calls telling me my warranty was going to expire. I started doing research and found that the choices were overwhelming.
Until finally found a company that was willing to give me a good product at a resonable price. That company was *****************.com, they answered all my questions and got me coverage for a price I could afford

Lol you got owned on VWVortex for doing the same thing

Using the same Drdrisk ID you used at Vortex

Found a great warranty cheaper than the dealer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After shopping around for a warranty for my range rover, I was amazed to learn most companies wont even cover them because they are "High Risk". The ones that will were quoting me prices from $5000 to$10000 and they didnt even cover everything. I was about to give up and take my chances when a friend of mine directed me to warranties 4 wheels.

They gave me a price that was much lower and it even covered everything. The friendly staff was helpful and put all my doubts at ease
Wow this guy owns more types of cars than Jay Leno

Now this next link is an interesting read. In my conversation with Wayne he mentioned this link and said the guy who posted it was a pedophile, lol. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/...Off0311420.htm
I know nothing about the claims made here but you can get a flavor for Wayne's temper and mouth... he's quite restrained compared to my personal conversation with him in these posts

So your not being a swell informative guy? Awwww man...I believed in you, man...That hurts deep....so deep.

This is about as bad as the spam emails, pyramid scams, that fake Jamaican fortune teller, RX7's, Telle Tubbies, Phylis Diller, Britney Spears...

All let downs.

Lol, I just called and spoke to 'Wayne' the company owner. He took time to curse me up and down and tell me he was going to "sue my ***" and ask me why I had to be hard on the small business owner.

Although the rep I initially spoke claimed he was out to lunch, after chatting with her a while she "knew something about what I was talking about" and connected me with Wayne who claimed this guy "Jim" and "Drdrisk" are just good customers of his that apparently own a bunch of cars and are spreading the good word I invited him to join CL and tell his side of the story and he didn't have time - he apparently has 5,000 customers waiting on him.

He said "all you forum guys are the same, all you want is money". Note to Wayne, I'm a volunteer and don't get paid. He suggested that if I didn't like the post that I just delete it to which I responded - no, I want all the forum spamming to stop. He then suggested I turn the forum sideways and stick it and hung up on me. What a charmer, that Wayne.
