$2K covers their cost for parts and labor and allows for some profit. Not a good deal for a warranty claim in my opinion.

wow... obviously your call, but seriously, I would have made them cover a good portion of it - at least half. depending on the state law, you could probably have stuck it in his *** if you had really wanted to.

For $2K out of pocket, I'd just buy the Performabuilt level 2 at $1890 as tblu92 suggested...and then make the dealership install it for free.
