Default Warranty work at 40k miles??

i just purchased an 08250 and i wanted to take it to get checked out.
It drives great i don't see any problems or anything, but i would like to
take it to lexus to get checked out.

What would i tell them? I have read about the brake dust issue/squeak, carbon buildup, fuel delivery pipes. I just don't want to sound like a nag there.

Just say you want a 161 point inspection. It's about $120. You shouldve done this before you purchased the car to make sure it checks out though. Congrats on the purchase. Hope all is well.

Note: the inspection is what is is; just an inspection. No service will be done. They will just tell you what service it needs. The inspection covers every little thing of your car though which is good, but that's how they get you on money. Inspection then service. If you want to save some money go to a another dealer ( non Lexus) and get the inspection done, but as you probably know, Lexus knows Lexus so they will know better and perform the inspection better and also tell you exactly what needs to be done.
