Nah, this is a 3rd party, well, AA, warranty. I'm looking at possibly buying from a main dealer, taking their approved used warranty for a year, maybe getting a 2nd year as part of the deal, though. However, if I buy outside of the main dealer network, then 3rd party warranties are reasonably priced and my local man deals directly with most of the big warranty companies. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Ducati 750SS - Hongdou GY200 Alfa 75 TSpark - Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE
