I imagine most people on here wouldn’t buy an extended warranty. And I have never bought one before. But, back in September I decided I needed an SUV. We went on a family vacation and taking the dog, kids, stuff, etc we didn’t have much room in my car.
I bought a 2014 Lexus GX 460. It’s not the biggest SUV, but it is still full size and three rows. I bought it with only 39,000 miles from the local BMW dealer. They offered to sell me an extended warranty and I immediately said no. Then, I wondered what crazy number they were going to quote me. They said $2000 for 4 years and 48,000 miles — on top of the miles it already had. I started thinking with an 8 year old vehicle things like an alternator or a starter or power window motors are going to fail. None of those are outrageous, but a few repairs here and there and it’s not hard to get to $2000. This is the zero deductible top of the line coverage. I got an oil change last week and they called me and said the timing cover is leaking oil and said $3000 to fix. BUT, I had the warranty. They covered it. I watched the video on how to do it. ALL the stuff in front has to come off. It’s a huge job. I picked up my car at lunch and it’s all done and it cost me nothing. I only mention this because it is so rare that a car extended warranty (other than CPO) actually works out. Donald H.
