US $13000		 Trunk prop plastic tip cracked & needed to be replaced--was under warranty & dealer replaced the plastic tip & prop as an entire unit. Wrote about this in initial entry when I signed on. Acquired car. In first few weeks of use, needed to replace left trunk prop at dealer; good service & no cost. Considering purchasing extended warranty having read reviews from other owners. My mechanic also recommends warranty due to expensive parts.
