It’s just more convenient pay once and forget it then if there are price increases your safeI most probably won't buy a prepaid maintenance plan but just curious what is considered a good price for 50K mile/5 year plan, any idea? This would be 8 visits after the complimentary service. Thanks!

I prepaid maintenance for 6 years or 75,000 miles. My reasoning was partly to pay it now and not worry about it as time goes by but mainly to pay 2024 pricing for service into the year 2030. Pricing for Lexus dealership service isn't going to go down over the years.You have to make sure you are going to own the car for 5 years. Then you have to make sure you aren’t going to move. Then you have to decide you aren’t going to switch dealers. A lot of question marks before you figure in the time value of money vs inflation.
May be transferable, but you will be very unlikely to get your money back on it if you sell. If you are going to keep it and you plan on always using your dealer for service it probably isn't a bad deal if you get it cheap enough.I prepaid maintenance for 6 years or 75,000 miles.

To address your comments above:
The prepaid maintenance plan is fully transferable to a new owner.
The plan is good at any dealership. For example, I bought my GX way across town at the dealer in Peoria, AZ because they had a GX available. I'll be doing all the service at the Scottsdale dealership a couple miles from my house.
Tough to compare Range Rover and Lexus with regards to quality or longevityThe prepaid maintenance is a no-brainer. I paid for 6 years or 75,000 miles, whichever comes first. I know I'll drive over 12,500 miles per year (75,000 divided by 6) so I'll get my mileage out of the prepaid maintenance program. The scheduled 5k maintenance interval services add up to about $9,000 so, like I said, it's a no-brainer. I think I paid about $4,000.
I also paid $2,605 for an extra 3 years or 50,000 miles of full Lexus Platinum warranty. After driving Land Rovers for the past 25 years, I want warranty, warranty, warranty. If your infotainment system goes out in year 5, you'll be thinking of ways to make the truck disappear.
Same. I didn’t like that Lexus offered a “10-pack” because the regularly scheduled maintenance probably wouldn’t add up. Also the 1st 2 interval checks are free. AlsoI skipped this add in along with all other protection items and extended warranties
Well, all Land Rover products have the repair & maintenance issues, not just the Range Rover model. And they are legendarily bad with good cause.No I think range rovers long term reliability and quality are legendarily bad. Vs lexus Toyota best in the industry. I also think rr part and service cost are industry leading high, vs Toyota/ Lexus relatively reasonable. So if I was idiotic enough to ever get a rr again and had any thought of keeping it out of warranty I would do as you did and buy extended warranty’s to cover everything. Vs Lexus which while any car can break down is a very safe bet to be reliable, which leads to the question of is it a good bet that the extended warranty will be a good investment or not.
