Called this morning to check on my car. And the part is supposed to be in late tonight.

I asked about the warranty coverage. And was told the Air Bags on the RX are covered under the Powertrain Warranty. Which is 72 months or 70,000 miles

what kind of after market warranty did you buy...Fidelity?

Does anyone have any experiences with Fidelity Warranty out of Florida
The company I think is owned by JM Lexus

Hello, I am buying a certified preowned 2011 rx 350 with 15k miles. The car comes with 3 yes/100,000k miles warranty. However, the dealer is offering me extended warranty coverage at a price of $2400 for 6 years/ 200k miles. I am not so sure it's worth it. I never owned a Lexus before so I don't know ? Help, help..

The warranty is the same from Toyota or Lexus. Pricing varies by dealer and can be discounted. If you search this has been covered a lot here already.

I got mine from Jerry.

Send him your purchase date and VIN. And he will quote you the price.

^ This. Heck, I'm new here and I've already purchased an extended warranty through Jerry. Always search first on any discussion forum site.

Worth is always highly subjective and it's not different with extended warranties. Not all Lexus owners agree on whether they're worth it or not so not having owned a Lexus really won't mean anything either way. Who provides the warranty being offered? Have you read the details? 6 year/200K doesn't sound like a coverage that Lexus offers. We can't even begin to assist you if you don't provide details. Have you shopped around to compare? Ultimately it's your call to make whether or not it's worth it based on your needs, concerns, finances, etc.

And there's no need to post the same thing twice in the very same thread.

Hi all, last year when we bought our 2007 RX at 80K miles, we also bought a 2 year (or 24K miles) extended warranty offered by the Lexus dealer at highest protection. Now the car has about 101K miles. Should I bring the car for diagnosis before the warranty expired to see if there's any problem and if the warranty can cover? Will the dealer hide the problem to avoid warranty, since the car still running fine? I mean right now the only problem I see is some squeaking noise randomly, but that's happened for a while and I brought it to my mechanic once but it did not happen when I was there so he couldn't say anything. Well, the car also needs break job I thing but I suppose that's not covered.

Thanks, appreciate any suggestion.

No, brakes would not be covered under most warranties and probably not in your case with something purchased from Lexus. However, there are some warranties, such as for BMW, which include some such maintenance items. Just depends on what you purchase.

As for having your vehicle inspected before the warranty expires it not a bad thing to do. The dealer does not care if they have to repair something covered. They have already made their money on the sale of the warranty itself. Any repairs would be paid by the warranty company and not the dealer. There are a number of items which could be a problem and need replacing on your RX350 which you would not notice unless you had it up on a lift or inspected closely otherwise. Shocks, power steering rack, etc. are prime candidates for problems at this point in time.

Saying you are glad you bought the extended warranty is like saying you put a lot of money on 18 at the roulette wheel. Every once in a while someone wins, but the odds are against you, and the house always wins.

Thanks RX330inFL.

I don't say I'm glad (yet ), I just wanted to reuse the old thread. However I understand the OP's happiness because his warranty paid off while he knows the odd is against him (like you said). In my case my wife insisted to buy the warranty because that's her car. And now I just want to find some ways to utilize that amount if possible

If you have the warranty bring it in but don't tell them you have the warranty and get say an oil change and ask them to inspect the car. Then when they come back with problems spring the warranty on them.
