Extended warranty
#2
Hot topic
As for warranty on any other sub models, the typical extended warranty runs about $2K, so really within 100K you might just about break even if two or three electronic items go. It's really just a peace of mind thing... if you need it.

Its a very reliable car but it has very expensive parts. If you have anything but the base level premium model I would get the extended warranty but shop around for a good discounted price on the warranty - you can buy over the phone from any Lexus dealer. Lots of expensive stuff to break on an LS430 - just take a look at all the posts on problems with steering column motors, suspension especially UL, DVD Nav and screen problems, ML stereo amp and speakers, O2 sensors, side view mirror motors, door lock motors, etc

yep... just had my front parking sensors replaced... Covered under CPO but would have been half the cost of the extended had this happened down the road and I had not been covered. My particular dealership will also cover rattles if you know exactly where they are.

Will an 2001 or 2002 LS430 be eligibile for an extended warranty if under 100,000 miles?

So, with 63K on the clock and if you go the lowest 24K, that brings you up to 87K which really would mean the air suspension on your car has to suck or it should not fail before 100K (although some have at much lower than 80K). I can see a sensor here or there going during this period that might bring you lose to even with the $1735 warranty. Short of the suspension, I don't see anything that is going to blow you up to $1700. Also, how much do you plan on driving? If a lot, you're gonna probably get maybe 1.5 years out of it or if you don't drive much, you'll get nothing out of it.
Also, what is covered? Bumper-to-bumper minus wear-n-tear (windshield rock chip, brake wear, tires, etc.) or select items like just powertrain?
