Hi,
Picked up an RX350 yesterday for my wife.
While sitting with the finance guy, he offered a number of optional services such as:
* Lexus Care Vehicle Service Agreement
- 6yrs/70Kmiles = $1700
- 7yrs/75K miles = $2100
- 5yrs/100K miles = $2000
- 6yrs/100K miles = 2100
- 7yrs/100K miles = $2400
* Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP Insurance); $540
* Paint Protection Film (3M Scotchguard film); $995
* Appearance Protection; $485
* Lo-jack; $695
* Zero Dents (dent, scratch, plus wheel repair)
>Dings/Dents only
- 3 yrs = $390
- 4 yrs = $450
- 5 yrs = $550
>Wheel scrapes, small paint chips/scratches
- Add $200 to any term
* Diamond-Fusion Windshield Protection; $680
Do you recommend any of the above? The Service agreement sounds only since it is $0 deductible and 100% refundable if not used. The Zero Dents program sounds interesting also.
Would appreciate your thoughts please.
Thanks,
eagle

Then I would definitely purchase the dent/scratch warranty. What is offered in the Service Agreement? Does this only include minor service such as oil change, rotations, etc? Or does it include all the fluids, brake pads, rotors, etc? If the latter, then I would definitely purchase the service agreement also.
I wish my dealer offered these services!! I only had a few choices such as extended warranty and lo jack.

actually, the legal name cannot be extended warranty. a warranty is something that comes free of charge and is included in the price, like the Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Warranty. lexus calls it a Vehicle Service Agreement (VSA)

The Lexus Gold Program provides factory-backed extended vehicle service protection for customers who desire extensive coverage for most component groups in their vehicles after the factory warranty expires.

Hi Tripledes and jjbodean,
You're both right. It's not a service plan. And technically from a legal standpoint, a service plan is different from a service agreement.
At any rate, they have three different Warranty plans under this VSA: Platinum, Gold, and Powertrain.
Thanks,
eagle
