read the fine print - they're only "certified" for the "window" that's
left over from the warranty - it doesn't extend beyond the original.
dealers taking up the slack on what /is/ built in to the design life.

can get them to buy new when that one craps out. "free maintenance"?
same thing - suck the suckers in.
