I know this might be a stupid question, but there's no way shape or form to get this if you're past 50k, is that right?

They say you have to purchase it while still under the factory bumper-to-bumper. Whether or not you can get an exception will likely depend on 1) how recently your factory warranty expired, and 2) your relationship with your dealer (how likely it is he'll make you a deal).

Don't get an aftermarket warranty - half of them go belly-up and the other half will do anything in their power to deny claims! Get a Lexus/Toyota warranty if you're still under 48mo/50,000miles. Try Troy Dietrich at Toyota of Greenfield:

those are good warranty prices but what happens when warranty ends? lexus told me that they will go 125 max on warranty miles so i tried to find an aftermarket company they said $2300 for 100,000 miles on top of existing mileage and 5 year warranty but i forgot to ask what was covered and is there a small deductible? i had a question on that hows aftermarket warranty after125,00 miles?

Can you get an extended one on a cpo before the cpo expires or does it have to be before the standard bumper to bumper?! I have another year on my factory bumper to bumper and roughly 18k miles but w/ the cpo warranty I have another 3 years and 68k.

I just bought mine this weekend, CPO 2008 w/ 28k on it and I took the option to extend the 3yr CPO warranty to 6 years. It was like $1600 or so and totally worth it. Now I feel I can use it like a car and not sweat the small stuff.

Aftermarket warranties are a joke.

Once you give them money they will do everything they can to keep every penny.

IF they are still in business when you have a claim they will deny coverage of many parts required to do a repair ( oil, coolant, gaskets, seals, hoses, etc).
They will only pay the cheapest price for parts and will pay a labor rate to the shop that is way below the going rate in the market.

As a former shop owner I learned that it was not worth dealing with these warranty companies. It involved too much time on the phone and I had to jump thru too many hoops to get paid. Plus I refused to lose money on a job trying to satisfy a warranty company.

I would repair the vehicle and let the customer get their reimbursement from the warranty company on their own.

I would explain to the customer how the warranty company would handle the claim and how they would deny most of it. I was correct in every instance.

Instead of buying an aftermarket waranty put the money in the bank and use the money if you have a major repair. If you never have to use the money for repairs you will have a chunk of cash to put towards your next vehicle.
