I’ve been reaching out to various dealers regarding a 10 year / 100k warranty - aka - Lexus Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible:
So according to Troy Dietrich at Greenfield Lexus in the Midwest - a 10 year old/ 100k mile warranty costs only $3300 if purchased through his dealership.
… a steal IMHO for a $100k SUV!
The problem is he CANNOT facilitate the purchase of said warranty unless you have an address that is outside of California, Washington, or Oregon. WEIRD!! And the pricing is miles apart - at least in California!
The most updated pricing for various warranty options as of 4/20/26 per Troy (NON - CA, WA, OR) is listed here:
Vehicle: 2022 – 2026 Lexus GX; (Within 48 months / 50,000 miles).
- Class C10 -
Lexus Extra Care, Platinum coverage with $0 deductible:
UNFORTUNATELY…. California pricing appears to be much more.
Dealers whom I’ve reached out to have given me their base cost in California of $3600 + a mark up. One dealer was willing to extend a courtesy friends and family up charge of only $500. Others will feed all kinds of stories and give inflated charges far in excess on that number.
Longo Lexus for example, (where I had a great car purchasing experience for my GX OT+) was surprisingly unaccommodating with their warranty pricing: “The 10 years 125k miles is $6,920, 100k miles is $5,600. Plus $600 discount.” ($1000 more than other more competitive iCalifornia dealers).
What I’m finding is if you are able to convince a dealer to sell u the warranty for between $250 to $500 over California cost for the 10/100 product ($3600 + mark up) - you are probably in a good place.
So far for all around customer service and willingness to work with customers, on everything from service to warranties, I’m finding that Lexus of Santa Barbara is excellent.
