JayLexin Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hi, I have purchased a 2015 RCF from a Lexus dealership pre-owned. The factory warranty is 4 years default, because this car was purchase and traded in at a Lexus dealer, there is an opportunity to buy extended warranty. The cost is a flat fee of $1,770 AUD for 3 years and maximum 150,000 kms. Do you think it is worth it? I purchased extended warranty on my IS350, and over 3 years didn’t claim anything, considering the RCF has much more tech, not sure if I should do it? I was told extended warranty can only be purchase before I take delivery of the car. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bling Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Depends how many kms are on it, and how many you plan to put on it $1770 isn't a great amount for peace of mind. I had an extended warranty on my ISF and never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLexin Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Current 57k and I drive about 5-10kms per year, so not a lot of driving. Maybe one track day a year. What year model was your ISF? Never used it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bling Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 My ISF is a 2011 bought it with 2 years left on the extended warranty, it is good piece of mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did u use of claim anything that need to be fixed over the 2 years? I have played the game of shelling out cash on Lexus extended on my IS350 for 3 years, the only things that went wrong were wear parts so couldn’t claim. Waste of cash for a piece of mind.

pearlisf Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Don't bother. Wear and tear are not covered and the only thing that would be covered is your drivetrain. Personal preference though 🙂 I'm on my third Lexus and the only thing that broke was a flat battery 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexus extended warranty wouldn’t cover O2 sensor, bushings, water pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pearlisf Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 My ISF extended warranty just ran out and I'm not really concerned at all. I assume they would cover those engine parts you mentioned. Go for it if you need a peace of mind. 🙂 Have you got any photos of the new car? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearlisf Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Good pick mate, I think these look best in white. She's beautiful! Love the red interior. Now it just needs a nice exhaust to release that rumble 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am keen to get out to a F model drive, but still waiting to be accepted into Lexus F Club Australia on FB.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
