According to my dealer's computer and 8 years of repair invoices my delivery date is January 1, 1997. Problem is my car had not even been built and the dealer is closed. It was a made up date.

My actual first in-service date written in the maintenance book is March 24, 1997.

This became an issue on March 3, 2005, because I went to the dealer for a smog inspection and my check engine light was on, so I knew I would not pass. My mechanic friend hooked me up to the computer and I had a bad DME. No big deal. $2,000 for a new DME and the time to figure out the problem and to replace it so Arnold could send me the sticker for the plate. Plus the cost of the smog inspection. My car ran fine.

California has an 8 year emission parts warranty for certain parts, and the DME is covered. According to the dealer's computer the warranty ran out 2 months earlier. According to the book I had 21 days to go.

So we looked at the invoices, the computer, and the book. Then thanks to the State of California my DME was replaced at no cost to me.
