Screw it man, buy a decent sub and pop it in. You would have saved all that money from the trips you dont have to make to there dealership any more. Just a thought.

Yeah, it's only subwoof, not like the engine is stalling out or you have a CEL. Make the appt., call their bluff and just go like end of week, next week, or whenever and get it done. I believe they probably don't have loner vehicles right? Not that a loner once in a blue moon is worth the $2000+ or whatever for CPO, but atleast when you get warranty stuff (and long maintenance) things done at Lexus Dealer, you get a loaner.

Maybe i'm not making myself clear. The first time i did simply because they do take walkins. The 2nd and third time i called to make an appt but its always far out and my schedule isnt set like a normal blue collar worker. All i'm saying is their appt times are horrible for "ME". I'm just trying to get them to work with me to get this resolved.

Autolenders only warranties your car for 90 days (bumper to bumper). I think it's worth the risk. After that, you're free to go to a Lexus dealer (at your expense, of course). But there's always the Extended Service Plan!

That is their base warranty for any car. They also offer "extended warranties" ranging from I think 1/10K up to 5 years and 70K additional miles. I was told this extended warranty covered reimbursement for repairs done at a Lexus dealership, but from what SoPhilly is saying, it seems you have to bring it back to Autolenders.

Why keep putting the same type of sub back in?!

Just to see if they are f'in with you...call to request an appt for a window fix or something similar. See what they say then. If they say come on in, then you called their bluff and should not do any business with them anymore.
