He's doing the same deals Toby did. His email address IS: casey.mcgrew@harveyautos.com. Original post misspelled it.

Might try Fidelity and CNA, if you can find a dealer offering them.

My 2011 LS460 which I have now had for just over 4 years has not been as reliable as my LS430s at all. I bought the car CPO which back 5 years ago also came with 2 years unlimited mileage and then I extended it for another 2 additional years so I had 4 years unlimited miles. The warranty I got was an extension of the CPO warranty it is the exact terms and exact same list of covered items. I was told it could only be purchased at the time I bought the car as the car was now out of manufacturer warranty and was strictly being sold as a CPO. I am more than thankful I did. The warranty paid for itself many many times over already. They are reliable cars but they are still expensive to fix. I would actually argue unlike what the other two said above that the car is not that old right now. but after the 2 years CPO is done its another 2 years old and that's also when things may start to go wrong. I also took into consideration that I could take my car to the dealer, get a loaner and have all service documented at my Lexus dealer. If I were paying out of pocket for these repairs I probably would seek an independent. Lets say I paid $3000 for the warranty. The heater exchange issue and navigation issue I had alone paid for the warranty. Each time I take it in for repair they marked the paperwork that I have an extended warranty so they they knew cost was no object.

I do not think offering or buying a warranty says anything at all about the confidence in the product. Things break. It's a mechanical item. Nobody can predict the reliability of a mass produced item. There's a reason every manufacturer has occasional lemon cars. It happens. Does the dealer make a profit on the warranties? Absolutely. Might you not make all your money back? It's certainly possible but they have lost money on me with my car. Lexus has a pretty good reliability rating and it is the main reason I have driven them for so long. Other cars look better to my eye but are not reliable enough for me. I love the S-class and could afford one but many of my friends have them and they are just not as reliable as a Lexus so I have resisted the temptation. Even with a warranty it's still an inconvenience to bring the car to the shop and be paying a car payment to drive a loaner. Peace of mind does come at a price in some instances.
