Never heard of a dealer saying that, but the warranty I have, as well as the extended warranty I bought, both have that clause, and mechanics I tried to pay money to have them instal the thing said it would void the warranty. Those mechanics have nothing to gain by lying to me. Indeed, it would be in their interest to take my money, install the device, and keep their mouths shut about warranties.

Like I said. I am going with what real laws, contracts, and lawyers said, not more of that unproven baloney you keep claiming to know all about. You really need to stop trying to tell us about how you think the world works, you’re just wrong every time, and doing a serious disservice to those reading this topic. I cannot in good conscience allow more of your fantasies to be posted on this subject.

Can you quote actual legal cases where a real court ordered a dealership to maintain the warranty even when the black letters of that contract specifically say otherwise? If not, shut up.

Caught a blurb on a tic-toc that puts out short news statements.. The originator dances and advertises printed shirts....

Trump sent a request to have Auto-Stop/Start revoked/banned.....

Not to be outdone by New York City's announced plans to provide five government-run grocery stores, the White House has launched twenty-five "Freedom Fuel" gasoline stations, all in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and all selling fuel at $3.47 a gallon, undercutting other local stations by some thirty cents on average. (No, this isn't from a satire site. Yes, this is real. No, there's no information regarding how the stations are being subsidized.)

My fleet has over a million miles!

2024 Rav4 (wife car) has 16,000. She would be perfectly happy for me to drive her everywhere & never drive a car again. I feel strongly that driving is a life skill everyone should have; Filipina wife just goes along.

2019 Jeep (Eldest son drives) has 170,000 He was driving the Lexus, but the Jeep is so much more fun. Especially in Summer.

2000 Golf (me) has 243,000. A decent little car but with the 2.0L it's pretty slow. When my sister returns "her car" it becomes the spare.

2007 Rav4 (sister drives) has 369,000. I get this back once she has saved up enough to buy a new Pickup. I predict she'll pounce once a "factory incentive APR" gets below 2%.

2024 Corolla Hatchback (my mom) has 3500. She doesn't drive, so this sits at her nursing home for whoever is going to tote her & her wheelchair to the doctor or a meal in a restaurant. As a retired MBA CPA she did the math (with actuarial table based calculations & gosh knows what kind of depreciation magic) and paid half of the purchase price. I own it and she pays insurance, registration, gas, etc. She morbidly jokes that if she lives to be a 100 she'll have ripped me off...

2005 Lexus ES350 (current spare) has 344,000. This thing is a bit lame (pot hole vs right front "strut mount"), plus a mystery ticking noise (I suspect a belt pulley), AC bleeds down every 6 months, and it shifts rough (ominous, I know). At the mechanic as a "Space A" priority. It may be "going to the farm..." if it is too expensive to repair. When it runs it is just a dream though; 25-30 mpg, smooth, quiet, fast, roomy & comfortable...
