Well, as I posted here 10 months ago, I ended up buying an extended service plan as my wife's 2015 LUX was coming off warranty at with 33k miles. I paid $4k for the warranty begrudgingly after telling my wife to go find a replacement vehicle and I don't care about the price.
After an exhaustive search, she wanted to keep the LR4. That was after test driving everything out there including Lexus, MB, etc. Oh, we passed on the new Discovery as it was just not even an option.
Well my, ROI meter just got $1795 back when the dealer told me the lower control arm bushings were bad. Fully covered at 40k miles. I stil have 3 years and 35k miles left on the warranty so good chance I get it all back.
The sad state is that they were bad probably at 30k miles. I noticed it was a bit tipsy on curves. I don't drive it that much so thought, maybe it's just the way it is. After the repair, it was literally back to how I remember when we drove it home from Cali up the PCH. My wife loves this car, but wow, I am going to be hard pressed to consider the brand again when the extended service plan is up.
