Extended Warranty
Does the extended warranty have to be purchased at the point of sale?
How much did you pay for your extended warranty?
Does the warranty have to be purchased from the dealer who sells the car?
Lorna

For the most part you shouldn't need an extended warranty. However if you drive a lot and go over the mileage you may want to purchase one. Yes, they do make $$ of the extended warrantys hoping they just pocket the money and not have to do any work.

extended warrentee
Do not buy at point of sale. It can be purchased anytime up to 6 months before the manufacture's warrantee ends. If something happens to the car say it is totaled you loose the $'s so that is why it is best to wait.

Much easier to get the warranty from Lexus and then just drop the car off.

But doesnt it cost more money when you buy it later? I remember with GM extended warranties the price went up considerably the longer you waited.

Your standard warranty supplied by Lexus includes:
Bumper to bumper:
The coverage lasts for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Wheel alignment and balancing, however, are covered for 12 months or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The Lexus Powertrain Warranty lasts 72 months or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Which includes:
Engine
Cylinder block and head and all internal parts, timing belt and cover, flywheel, oil pan, water pump, fuel pump, engine mounts, engine control computer, seals and gaskets.
Transmission and Transaxle
Case and all internal parts, torque converter, clutch cover, mounts, engine control computer, seals and gaskets.
Front-Wheel-Drive System
Driveshafts, axle, hub, bearings, seals and gaskets.
Rear-Wheel-Drive System
Differential carrier assembly, driveshaft, axle carrier, axle case, axle bearing, axle shaft, seals and gaskets.
Hybrid Vehicle System
Coverage lasts for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, on Hybrid control module, battery control module, Hybrid vehicle battery pack and inverter with converter.
Most of you aren't going to keep your vehicles long enough to get out of the warranty period anyway, so why you feel the need to hand over $1500 to a dealership for something that won't be needed for AT LEAST 48 months or 50,000 miles is beyond me.

So my point is this. It's none of your business why people buy extended warranties, or at what time during their ownership of the car they purchase said warranties. You should think before you write. Maybe people have the money to do it when they are buying their car. Maybe they want to get it over with and not worry about it. Maybe they feel it increases the value of the car if they sell it. There could be an infinite # of reasons why people do what they want.
So, the "you're an *** comment" just shows how witty (NOT) you are, your age (or rather level of maturity) and/or your IQ.
