Hi,

IIRC, the Dealers offer a 2-year, 24k mi. warranty on the new RMS. I have a friend with an '04 S who had a Catastrophic RMS Failure at 7k mi. - walked out to his Garage one morning to find 10 qts. Mobil 1 all over the floor - cost $2000+ for EPA certified HazMat clean-up!

After some considerable haggling, PAG paid for the Clean-up, replaced the engine and altered all his paperwork to reflect the new Engine # in the Build Sheets, and Import Papers, etc., essentially removing all trace of the Failure from his VIN# history. I believe they did this due to the 'Newness' of the Car, but as I said, it took some finageling by my friend (possibly through an Attorney), citing among other things 'Diminished Value'...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
