I purchased my extended warranty from Lexus. It's 7yrs/100,000 with 0 deduct.
Your car have to be under 4 yrs / 50,000 in order to qualify for this warranty

Other option is 3rd party insurance company.

It depends. Most will go through a 3rd party warrenty company. Expect to pay around $1200 dollars.

it should be around 1200 i think

but why would you want it man... the warranty on your car is so vioded already.

engine gone
drive train gone
audio gone

you wanna pay 1200 just to make sure they pay for your door actuator if it ever goes bad?

kyle-
when I bought our 98 GS400 from a private party last year (he had CPO) it was not transferable. Additionally, when reasearching aftermarket warranties, I found they are not avail. to consumers in California. I am unaware if things have changed in the last 6-8 months. I was very suprised to find this out...after the fact.

LOL. If they have to look at his car, they'd see the super charger, the custom (OEM) Nav, the suspension and tranny work, ...

Agreed, that probobly going to be your best bet.....you should get the majority of your money back. Read the fine print of the contract next time as I'm sure it states that your coverage will be voided should any major mod's be installed.
