    And you thought the price for the R56 HPFP cost was a "Poke in the eye"....

    Wait until yer warranty runs out on this baby....

    This could be the very best reason to op for getting the extended warranty...

    This is a must ^

    Route 66 has a great extended warranty. Covers everything except regular maint. type stuff for $1500

    I bought a low mileage (5700) CPO car. Warranty is good until 9/2019 or another 66K miles. If it doesn't fail by then i'm probably good to go.
