I don't know what your experience w/ Lexus is, but I think an extended warranty is a waste of money for these cars. Keep up the maintenance & they are all almost flawless.

Agreed. In fact, by definition, all extended warranties are a waste of money.

If you can handle dropping $20k on a car, you can handle the small probability it will require expensive work.
