My understanding is that he owns a construction contracting company. That does not mean that the accusation is not one you would hear in especially american car dealerships. What that warranty actually represents is that Kia bets that very few of their cars will need repairs within those limits. 100000 miles for rust hole damage sounds darn good in canada where winter road salts do reliably rust out car bodies. If kia is willing to take that bet, so am I. Even though I do/will not own a car. -- Noah Sombrero mustachioed villain Don't get political with me young man or I'll tie you to a railroad track and <<<talk>>> to <<<YOOooooo>>> Who dares to talk to El Sombrero? dares: Ned does not dare: Julian shrinks in horror and warns others away
