Nates, you got very lucky for them to cover anything as the warranty is not really transferable. When it is, the time and mileage is reduced quite a bit.

When I was still under the bumper to bumper as a second owner(under 3 yrs 18,000 mi ) I thought the rep would not go for it but they warranted out my peeling chrome rims. Guess I lucked out. The new ones look awesome and the "0" price was right!
ALSO BEWARE...my engine light had come on and the dealer(cerami in nj) said it was my intake manifold gasket and it was NOT under the longer running drive train warranty and it would cost almost $400.00. I didnt believe them and called the club friendly dealer in St. Charles. Their service dept was kind enough to look it up and tell me it WAS under warranty. so then Cerami did it for free. I SAVED 400.00 WITH ONE PHONE CALL!

Guess I am lucky for getting it in when I did. I don't know how they determined it, but when I called the 800 # to register as the new owner and transfer whatever warranty was left, they told me the exact dates & mileage the basic & power train warranties would expire. I was still within the limits of what they told me for basic warranty when I went in for the wheels so that's what I was going on. As far as I know, I'm still under power train warranty until May 6, 2007 or 60K miles.

Learn a lesson from this and don't buy a vehicle assuming that something will be covered by warranty. Instead, use it as a bargaining point to lower the price of the vehicle, or do some pre-purchase research to confirm your assumptions. I suggest you look at some inexpensive aftermarket alternatives. You can get some replacement stock wheels for about 400 + shipping from ebay.
