Oh, and the 2 yr maintenance plan is also worth about $2,200 ... So, no profit for the dealer. Very unusual ..., but possible.
- Are you referring to OE warranty (4yrs/50K)? Couldn't be because the production date of this car is 20.08.2011, so the time is up ...
This was a private deal.
The warranty was the balance of a dealer-sold private warranty (assurant?). The maintenance was the balance as well. I think the private warranty was tacked on in 2013, and added 2 years to the original warranty.

Overall, he got a great deal. The only knock on this car is the 18 inch wheels, which is a blessing in disguise as it's cheaper tire replacement cost, and the interior needed a professional detail. It looked gross.
