On dealer offered warranties, I had an odd experience at NX closing. The business manager tried to sell me only an Assurion warranty. I told him I was not interested in any 3rd party warranty and only wanted the Lexus VSA. Here is the odd part, he said the Assurion warranty was better than Lexus and asked why I wanted it. I did not feel like I needed to become Lexus salesman to a Lexus employee why I wanted a Lexus product. LOL He never quoted or offered the Lexus VSC either.
A few days later, I bought from Jerry J. about 1/2 of the 3rd party Assurion quote. Jerry is a great guy and transaction was quick and smooth. Other than that odd encounter, the Lexus dealer and SA are fine and the NX closing went well. Enjoying the 350h.
I'd never buy a non-Lexus warranty. Jerry's the man!
I've bought several Toyota/Lexus extended warranties from Troy at fd-warranty.com. Very easy to deal with and pricing (for the NX, in this case) was same as Jerry's price. The Business Manager at our paperwork signing didn't even offer any extended warranty. I already had the quote from fd-warranty, so I just bought from him.
I prefer to buy from Jerry. Even if I was inclined to buy from factory direct something that would stop me is the fact that their website is not secure.
I have to agree. Thanks to this treat I found about Jerry, and spoke to him today. Even though he couldn't sell me a warranty, because the UX I just purchased is 5 years old with 40k miles on it, he explained to me everything I need to know about extended warranties, and gave me some input on the warranty my dealer wants to sell me. I learned a lot, since it's my first time buying a used car newer than 10 years old.
