How many years is it warrantied for though? I'm sure it's probably 8 years/80K, in which case they could say that it hit 8 years first. I wouldn't doubt that one bit...It is JUST under 80K too, like 79,9XX (I can't remember the exact mileage, but it's within 100 miles of hitting 80K. LOL

Edit: Just checked mileage. It's 79,886. If they don't screw me on the year issue, I may be able to get new cats...I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yeah, you should take it in anyway just to see. If they are a good dealership, then they should work with you since you are right on the mark. If not , call up corporate Lexus and get them involved.
