What repairs done on '03 GS430 by 110k & beyond. 1 month left on extended Warranty
The coverage on this warranty is extensive. What are the big and small things you have had to do to your GS430. If we can find even the smallest of a hint of something that may be failing or we think will fail in the next 100k we'll try to turn it in. This extended warranty is one of the best I've ever seen. We told them the water pump was leaking and with a few other things they paid enough to cover a full 100k service. So please let know what you have done. I've got until the end of the month. Thanks for any input.

if your warranty covers everything with little or no cost to you, screw it bring it in and have the whole car inspected and anything found wrong fixed. Engine seals, suspension components, door actuators, nav screen, diff fluid, just the entire car top to bottom. Better now than never.

If the claim gets too high they will send an inspector out to look at the car but as long as the claim is legit, it's not a big deal-just time consuming

Exactly. Have them go over the entire car. If the warranty covers bushings they should replace them if they are starting to crack. IF they replace the bushings the warranty should cover an alignment as well.

Thank you for all your comments. I do plan on having it checked over. Maybe have the calipers rebuilt. There is a rear main seal that I was told should be done. Also maybe replace the front struts. What I was really looking for was stories from people that had failures after 100k miles on an '03 GS430. I know these cars tend not to break like most other cars but there must be something.
