I bought the platinum Lexus on my 27K Mile 15 LX570 CPO and it was <$700, so I took it as it's 8 years 100K bumper to bumper. 5 years or 70K piece of mind was worth <700 as I'll spend more than that in gas the first year. Already worked on 2 day rain leak they had to track down cabin filter pushing on wire loom that funneled rain into cabin from windshield along with new battery $300.
$3300 is another game al together....WAY to high.

Food for thought on rear AHC and AVS repair costs.

I agree with rmason that if you have luxury model, get the warranty because air suspension are prone to wear out.
Other than that, GX460’s eng and trans are pretty much bullet proof. This car dosent come with much electronics when compare to other luxury models of today. Parts are also not as expensive, as some are just Toyota parts. Nor it required special programming from dealer to install.
Funny thing is, I recently bought a none CPO 2015 BMW M4 from the same Lexus dealer where I bought my GX. I purchased Lexus’s 5yr/60k platinum warranty for $4000. When I asked if it is worth on a BMW forum. Everyone said it is a steal consider how expensive the parts and repair can be on a M4. The engine alone would cost $30k to replace. $1500 for the battery, $3000 for the information head unit and etc. It all goes down how the repair cost going to affect you financially. It the maximum repair cost may put you in any kind trouble, buy the warranty to mitigate risk. If you can swallow the bill no problem, pass the extended warranty.

Extended warranties have all sorts of loopholes. Also know that many shops will not work with 3rd party service contracts because they refuse to pay "retail" and will have to approve every repair.
I would be surprised if they covered suspension parts like the air ride since struts are usually considered a "wear item" like brakes.
Just for clarification, when you say 4 year/60k miles, that is added to the current age and mileage? So 118,000 miles and 2022?
Also remember the factory has a drivetrain warranty that goes for 7 year/70k mile warranty that covers a lot of potential expensive repairs like the engine, transmission and many of the associated parts that go along with that.

Stumbled onto this thread and was looking for some pricing input. I am looking at a 2014 GX460 Luxury with 37,000 miles and is CPO. The dealer offered me the extended options as shown below. What does everyone think regarding these prices? I am really only considering it because I drive a ton of highway miles to and from work and mileage is what usually catches me first when talking about warranty expiration.
2 year $2,375
3 year $3,150
4 year $4,050
5 year $5,050

I went with a used 2012 with low miles. I checked out the maintenance history on drive Lexus website and it checked out to my satisfaction. One of the biggest reasons I went with this vehicle/brand was because it’s reliable. My personal opinion is to make sure the major maintenance items have been done in the past. Save your money and maintain it. It should last with basic wear items being replaced to 300,000-400,000 miles.

Extended Warranty for 2011 with 90k
Hi All,
I just bought a 2011 GX with 90k. I have owned two RX’s 01 and 05. So I know IF things go wrong it can get pricey. So I got two quotes for 6 addition years or 100k additional miles. So I would b covered for 190 K they are asking $3200. It is close to a bumper to bumper warranty. Thoughts?

I think the only major out of pocket repair someone had was for an AT at a Lexus dealership $3K which frankly I was surprised it was that low.

These are ..rarely....rarely reported as failed. At that point I'd just keep the money in a potential repair fund.

Base or Premium? If Premium see if warranty really does cover suspension related items. Any idea who the warranty company is?

It’s the base model. No adjustable suspension. I have quotes from two companies. Carchex and Endurance. Carchex is “Gold” level coverage and Endurance is “Superior” coverage. Both include all Towing, rental, roadside assistance and trip interruption. There are ALOT of language in both contracts but they both cover all major components in electrical.
