I believe you must still be under the factory warranty 4 yrs/50k miles in order to purchase an extended warranty from Lexus. Shouldn't be hard to find an F under 50k miles for a little more than $35k. When you do find one you can get the extended warranty. Also if you have access to the VIN (on the CarFax report) call Lexus corporate and give them the VIN, you can determine when the car left the dealership to determine if it's 4 years from then.

I would not worry too much about extended warranties for Lexus. in my 20 + years of Toyota/ lexus/honda/acura ownership, i had never had a car that would have benefited from extended warranty. I don't track my cars, but i drive them very hard. Not to say extended warranties are never useful, but odds are you will never get your money's worth. If you pick your car carefully and take good care of it, chance of expensive repair is low.

I agree with the whole extended warranty bit. My '98 integra has 89k miles and is nothing short of reliable. My mother owns a 2000 Camry and the car has needed nothing other than regular maintenance, and a battery change at one point. Check the carfax and make sure all maintenance has been done.

Also register on http://owners.lexus.com ... there you can put in the VIN and see which dealer the car was serviced at, and the service performed - this is what I did before purchasing mine. Hope this helps.
