Maybe someone who works out of a dealer can help. What is the policy of Lexus when it comes to warranty? Is this a worlwide coverage? Reason I'm asking is, I imported my Lexi (plural of Lexus) and LS400 and the F from the US and now I read in yesterday's papers here saying that the newly opened Lexus Manila will charge more or less $1000 for imported Lexus cars to be "enrolled" in their warranty program, for cars bought before they opened here last January. But if one buys from the gray market after Lexus Manila opened, it says that they will charge $10,000 for it to be covered. Does this make sense? Can someone enlighten me if this fits into Lexus philosophy?
I have not yet gone to Lexus Manila for this for fear that i will have abeef with them and get disillusioned. And to think that I've been a Lexus fan since 96 having an LS400 ever since, and way before they even thought of bringing Lexus in the country. Why should I be slapped with $1000 for buying a car when they were not yet opened? In fact, I think I should even be rewarded for believing in the brand way before they even existed here.
Doug, Flip, Mike, what's yout take on this?
