Extended Warranties?

[keywest]

My RX300SE with Sat Nav has just had its 3rd birthday and is consequently out of warranty.

When it had it's MOT test today (which it passed - hooray!) I was offered extended warranty for the next year at £665 for 1 year or £1240 for two years. There is an option to pay on a monthly basis if I prefer at no extra cost.

The question is that with 38,000 on the clock and the prospect of around 26,000 more miles over the next two years am I likely to encounter expensive

repairs that would be covered by the extended warranty.

I appreciate that each car is different but general experience of others on the need for expensive repairs might help me come to a decision.

The first 3 years have passed problem free and I stick as close as possible

to the Lexus servicing schedule and use my Lexus dealer for the servicing.

The views expressed in one newsgroup suggest that Lexus are good for at

least 100,000 miles - but is this likely to be without expensive events?

Personally I wouldn't take the extended warranty.
