Just bought my first Lexus about a month ago.

2014 460L w/ ML, 19" wheels, semi-anniline, blind spot, LED package, all weather package, heated steering wheel & acc. package. It is L/Certified @ 35k miles. So have warranty through 1/2020. Liquid Platinum & Black Int. with Bamboo. Bought for $45K.

Really enjoying the car so far and don't miss my old BMW 7 at all. Passengers love the "L" rear seats!

The CPO warranty is the same as,the lexus extra care platinum VSA - ie "bumper to bumper" but it doesn't cover everything the new,car 4/50 covers.

LOL. Another fellow recovering 7 Series owner. "Hello everyone, my name is Chris and I'm a former 7 series owner". "Hi Chris!"

Welcome to CL. If you're anything like me, you're gonna love your LS and swear off of anything German ever again.

What generation/year was your 7 series that gave you so many problems?

OK, I'm the OP here and finally got the LS (2014 LS460 AWD L/certified w/ 8200 miles, 1 owner, no issues reported on Carfax). Price: $50,400.
I found out it does have the Comfort Pkg (power sunshade+heated/cooled seats, a $2K option that looks like it's in all used LS's) along with the Blindspot detector.
So far so good with no problems. It drives really nice and feels super-solid. My first Lexus.
I don't know if it was worth it, but I sprung for the extended warranty that goes out to 2025 for a few thousand bucks extra. I liked that it was direct from Lexus and seems to just be an extension of the regular warranty with no coverage exclusions.
No 3rd party nonsense.
An opinions/comments on any of this? Thanks in advance.

Great! Welcome to the club. Did you get the extended warranty from the selling dealer?

Thanks Sktn. Yep, the extended warranty is right from the selling dealer, but I assume and was told any Lexus dealer service place will honor it.
