Anyway, my SSM (the Silver Bullet) has been AWESOME, and I love driving it every day. It's the best car I've ever owned. So there.

Are you saying that the dealership does not offer extended powertrain (up to 100,000 miles) warranties for purchase?

First off, not all warranties are created equal. I was speaking of an Acura Certified Used warranty out to 100k miles. It cost me $900 to get it extended from 51k (it only came with 3k from the day I bought it and it had 48k on it). You do NOT want some other companies warranty. I had one and they made it very hard to use and they had many exceptions. If they will not certify it, you should be very worried.

This is where the dealer's service department, if they're cooperative, can be so essential. They told the broker that the trans had been replaced via recall in 8/05. I also registered the VIN in Acura OwnerLink and saw what was what.
