Default Extended Warrantee Prices

I am looking at a 2013 GS and was wondering what people have been paying for the extended warrantee?

I am looking for a Lexus Factory Warrantee, 8 yrs (probably 100,000 miles), zero deductible.

Any prices and if possible the dealership would be appreciated.

Don't buy Lexus Extended warranty from a Lexus dealership. You can get the same Lexus Factory warranty from Toyota dealerships cheaper.

I bought my warranty for my previous Lexus from Troy Dietrich (TDietrich@toyotaofgreenfield.com) (I believe he works for Toyota of Greenfield). Or get it from Jerry Johnson (jerryj@MidwestSuperstore.com) - I believe he works with Midwest Toyota in KS.
When I asked for quotes for my GS, Jerry gave me slightly better quotes that Troy.

I have purchased from Troy in the past (not from Jerry) - but I will be purchasing from him this time. With Troy, I can confirm that i got genuine Lexus warranties. I expect the same with Jerry (based on reviews).
I've googled both these guys and I am yet to find a negative review. But of course, do research before buying from these guys,
I think Jerry had quoted me 8 YEAR 75,000 MILES $1,415 (0 deductible, Lexus platinum warranty) - this was several months ago - not sure if the prices changed since then.

No, I do not work for (and not affiliated with) either of these guys.

Personally, I'm waiting till just before my factory warranty expires. No point in paying right now.

I buy Lexus because of its reliability. I do not need or want an extended warranty. I have had my last Lexus for almost 19 years and never felt any need for a longer term warranty. It would have been a waste of money.

Well put. It would be better to put the funds from the extended warranty into a bank account and watch it draw down!

I bought mine from Jerry Johnson mentioned above. The guy has the best prices, I have shopped around a lot before picking up the car. I believe I paid 1600 for a 7 year, 120k miles. When I picked up the car, my dealership wanted 2800, and they matched Jerry's price, but I still bought from Jerry because he had no sales tax for PA. I got all the paperwork from Lexus about 1 week after I purchased it.

That's good that you haven't had any issues. With my previous Lexus, I recovered my extended warranty cost in just two repairs (and had a couple of other repairs after that which were also covered by the extended warranty). So, personally, I prefer to pay that extra 1300 or so for that peace of mind. Personal choice of course.

If you keep your cars for 19 years, well, that is way past what a Lexus factory warranty would ever cover, so you really don't have that option

It is unlikely (though not impossible) that you'd get a better quote - but if you do, please share with the rest of the community on this post

Does any one knows if it would be more if I purchase the extended warranty closer to when the factory warranty ends as apposed to getting it now.

I purchased the warranty for my previous ES a few months before factory warranty ran out - got a slightly lower cost than what I was quoted right after I purchased the car - probably because parts were more easily available (I guess).

For my GS, I'm waiting till closer to factory warranty expiration (no guarantee that the price will not be higher though)

I believe so. As long as you have purchased a legit warranty from a Toyota authorized agent, it should be honored across all Lexus/Toyota dealerships in the US. You can certainly check from your dealership if you want to be doubly sure about state specific laws.
