I called Jerry and he has 10 year 100k miles for $3185. I talked to Ben at 925-338-7118 from dealership and he offered Unlimited Miles AND Unlimited Time full bumper-to-bumper coverage for $2877 so I'm going with him because I'm keeping this SUV past 100k miles and I drive a lot. He even included unlimited no time and no mileage cap 12v car battery changes parts and labor included as well.

But it isn’t Lexus Platinum. You’ll need claim approvals which can be a hassle

Last claim I made on my RX350 for door electrical problems, I handed him a copy of my 3rd party warranty paperwork to the Lexus Service Advisor and they did everything. I just paid the deductible when I picked up the car. No hassle on my end. They are used to taking all forms of payment from customers and how to process them.

Which dealership is this, sounds like East Bay ? Are you convinced that the forever coverage will work out practically (that there will be no denials based on arbitrary reasons), because thats what insurance companies tend to do…

And Jerry’s coverage is the Lexus Platinum (and not a 3rd party), correct ?

RX350PLAYAPRO

Yes, it's East Bay in California. I never had an insurance company deny me a claim I was entitled to and I made plenty of claims for Auto insurance, auto warranties, homeowner's insurance, health coverage insurance.. etc. This isn't some company that called me from a 1800 number from India. I'm the one who reached out first to this dealership to shop around for warranties. So I guess it looks like my chances are good for a LIFETIME unlimited miles and unlimited time warranty for only $2877. Yes, Jerry's coverage is Lexus, but only 10 years 100k only and it cost more. 3rd party or not, I want the best deal and I don't think Lexus is the only place that offers warranties on their car, just like Geico isn't the only company that offers car insurance. There's Progressive, State Farm, Mercury, Farmers... etc. Like I said I used a 3rd party warranty already on my RX 350 and it paid out just fine.

I don't know.. do you know anyone offering a lifetime warranty on Lexus for under 3 grand without any mileage restrictions? Please help as I'm looking for the best deal. So far Ben is the best I've found.

I have been a service advisor in a car dealership, read what is "NOT COVERED" on any extended warranty. Extended warranties are sold with a statement that it is bumper to bumper coverage. It is a lie! These were a major pain for the technician, the customer and for me as well. Had to wait for an inspector to come out, claims were denied quite often, In fact the inspector had a nickname of Dr. NO! With the Manufactures warranty we had no issues, almost always covered. In fact, the last finance guy I dealt with sent me a picture of the brochure and left out the "not covered" section. Did not buy from them. Fortunately I had the same brochure and knew what he had omitted. Even the Lexus coverage has batteries listed in the not covered section. That makes me wonder if the Hybrid Traction Battery would be not covered as well. The 12 volt battery is not an issue, can buy them for less then $250. Anyhow, buyer beware!

To each his own, I get it, but I can't believe some folks will pay out $3k + for an extended warranty on a Lexus.

Agreed. I didn't have any on an LX, ES or even two Land Cruisers I previously owned.

But I bought a Lexus platinum for the '24 500h. Two reasons:

1. Bought the 500h and while doing the customer tech training (after signing all the papework) they found it couldn't communicate to navigate or have a SOS response. Took them 3 weeks and systems reset plus a new data module to fix it. They had to go back to the vendor in Japan to figure out was was wrong. I would have hated to pay the labor bill if this happened out of warranty.

2. The 2.4 turbo engine, new 6-speed tranny, sheer amount of new electronics/software (see item 1 above) scared me enough to bite the bullet.

Having had Lexus for a few decades now. This is the first one I purchased ECP for just to be on the safe side for long term ownership, plus I got a discount and free servicing. Granted the engine T24A-FTS is in many vehicles for the last several years in different configurations. I suppose time will tell .

Agreed, we just switched last month from a BMW to Lexus precisely to avoid paying for extended warranty! Of course this is our first Lexus, so only time will tell, but based on our friends and family experience and reviews we aren't buying any extended warranty for the Lexus. We have a 2010 Acura MDX with 160K miles, stilling running! We didn't get the extended warranty on the Acura and we didn't regret that because we hadn't need to do any crazy repairs on it whatsoever, other than usual wear and tear.

I'm new to the forum. I am interested in the Lexus Vehicle Service Agreement / Extended Warranty. I've seen Jerry Joseph (Warranty Manager) at Midwest Toyota. Anyone got pricing from him for the 2024 Lexus RX350H?

Which 3rd party warranty company did you use?
