Default Luxcare / 3 For 1 / Maintenance Plan, Worth It?

I just bought the new 2014 IS 350 F-Sport



I was talked into the Luxcare package, the 3 for 1 Comprehensive vehicle protection package, and the prepaid maintenance plan,



I also got the Clear Mask and the 8 year 125K warranty, but I knew I wanted those.



My question is does anyone have any experience with any of these?



Would you recommend them?

My experience with the Toyota maintenance plan is that it's a complete rip off. My parents got it on their Toyota. I didn't. I go to Firestone and can get oil changes for $20, replace my own filters for $10 from Amazon, etc.

Lexus may cost more to maintain but I doubt it that's much more. I'd ask for a refund.

The warranty is a little trickier. It's a rip off but its also peace of mind. Most experienced car buyers don't get it. Again, its a Toyota/Lexus so you don't really need it.
