It's not that getting aftermarket heads is difficult, it's that a new buyer knows there is no longer a warrantee if there's a problem. So that's what kills the value of the car. People who buy expensive cars want their investment protected.

Lucky for me when I find the z I want. My credit union has a 5 year 100k warranty bumper to bumper that I can add on. I def will be doing that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but bumper to bumper has power train included right?

He could also get get a Z which is in warranty and simply extend the warranty if he does not want to remill heads. Small price for such a amazing car that otherwise is very solid. And to top it off, not every Z is affected.

Yes but 3rd party warrantys usually suck and are a battle to deal with.......I was in the business, I know

sure, approval for repairs is never immediate, there is a 3rd party involved which usually requires a visit before a 'go' or 'not go'........this means your car sits longer in service.......in the end you hope it gets approved whereas the manufacturers warranty is usually approved on the spot or same day.

Fixing the heads is probably less expensive than a decent extended warranty that's going to be NON-EXISTENT on a C5.
