Hi everyone, big fan of the forums and Scotty's site. Awesome vids. I purchased my 2017 Lexus RC200T 2 months ago and I love it. Sure its not that fast but it is fine with me and the looks are awesome. It has 28050 miles. It is an automatic as they all are I believe. Very clean and has the Fsport package. I have 8 months left on the factory warranty and I want to see about proactively possibly having someone independent of the dealer go through it. I've seen Scotty talk about these types of services that he does 🙂 I have the 30k service coming and would like to be armed with any other 'issues' that may be lurking but have read pretty good reviews of the car. Me? I drive it very moderately, around 15 miles a week really with the virus and not having been in the office for basically a year now. Was surprised at some tire issues in the records from the lexus dealer,
I was surprised at the number of service items that have been completed and can post the report if it's ok. w

I particularly liked the quote:

This was the previous owners road hazard purchase. Does that apply to me too? looks like they've been changed a time or 2. Apologies if I've broken any rules or have been too specific or simply given too much info. Let me know and will cut it down or delete. thanks all! Really enjoying this car so far. its my first 2 door and my girlfriend and I love it. again sorry if have broken any rules, thanks
For my experience generally when cars are sold to someone else all warranties that were given to the person who bought the tires don't exist anymore but you might call the company and ask
Ugh! ok thanks for answering Scotty, will make the call, thanks
