Thanks for writing this, it was an interesting read

Looking at used Lexus, they have an extra long warranty period, at 48 months/80,000 km comprehensive, 72 months/110,000 km powertrain

However many used ones do not come with service records, either on the Carfax or along with the car. So it looks like that would effectively invalidate what warranty was left

But 110,000 is nothing on new cars/trucks , so I would not worry about it
