Well I'm hoping my F doesn't act up like what happen to Just F Me tranny. I'm relying on Lexus reliability. Cross my fingers.

Just got off the phone with Jerry, bought a 6 year, 125,000 mile warranty for 2210. Very happy with the purchase, and that it also includes unlimited mileage towing among other things.

He also offered a 5 year 100,000 for 1355, a 5 year 125,000 for 1830, and a 6 year 100,000 for 1590.

Default running out of time

Just wondering if anyone has had to use their extended warranty? Anyone else thinking about buying a extended warranty? I am trying to decide if this would be worth it. Not even once have I used my factory warranty, but my miles 22,xxx are still very low for 08. I guess my biggest issue with buying the extended warranty is that the F is not my DD.

Don't buy an aftermarket warranty, they suck when it's time to use them.

I'm in the same exact boat... F is not my DD, just did 30k service (even though I have 28k, had been over a year). My waterpump is intact, just had to replace rearview mirror under warranty, that is it.

I have to decide before April 30, 2013 if I am extending it or not.

I've been creeping the thread and am on the fence. I'm picking up my '11 ISF with 9500 on the odometer. Have a while to ride it to decide if I'm gonna go with the extended warranty or not.

Yes, but if I was to go into detail it would scare you.

Mine came with the car 8 years/ 200 k

.........its been worth every penny.

I have one day to decide if i should get the extended warranty or not..... did any of you have issues when trying to purchase the extended through Jerry after the factory warranty ran out? Yes, you can say I procrastinated.

What did you decide? I'm considering the extended warranty myself, though I've only got 17000 miles on my '11. I didn't realize you could shop for the best price. I don't expect much to go wrong, but if that engine had a serious problem it could cost as much as a new Camry to fix it.

Yes, and it does. My engine rebuild cost $18,000 by the dealer.

Took my chances. There are a handful of us with issues. My 08 was a late model produced in 2009. Only problem I have had is rearview mirror vibration. I think if my F was my DD I would have gotten the extended warranty.
