Third Party Warranty

[avante]

Hi guys

Picking up a used 2007 IS250 this weekend and have the option of taking up a National Warranty Company (Sentinel Pack) at cost. There are claim limits and they don't seem to be all that generous ($3000 each per claim for gearbox and engine). What do you guys reckon? There are some bad reviews online about this warranty provider (but every product will cop bad reviews at some stage), but do your IS250s give you any issues that I should be wary of? Should I bother with warranty? Planning on doing oil changes myself but can't do that without voiding the warranty. It has a full service history Lexus and I have called the service centre to confirm that. Thoughts appreciated!

Not worth it.

Approach a Lexus dealer and ask them about extending the factory warranty if you wish. If it has a full Lexus service history, it shouldn't be too much of an issue, and you'll be covered pretty much like factory warranty again.

It has already gone out of warranty though.. Is that still possible?

Call a dealer to find out... I'm not sure.
