speaking of warranties

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	i'd like sort of a poll of opinions on this.

	i ordered an a4 avant, as y'all may know.  got
	the 1.8t, the leather being the only regret.
	turbo because of mods.  my plan is, after a 
	little bit of break-in, to get a k04 and a chip
	to go with it.  there are mods that give more 
	power, at the sacrafice of reliability, and
	i want this car to have long-term life, even
	though i expect i will sell it (or give it to
	my girlfriend) in a few years.

	anyway, warranty.  a reason for me to buy new 
	is warranty.  i don't want to void it, though i
	am willing to risk being stealthy.  i have heard 
	that the secret is to find a sympathetic service 
	guy, i have heard that they won't know, i have 
	heard that it only matters if they can proove that
	the mods caused the damage.  in the end, i don't 
	expect engine problems anyway, not for 5-8 years 
	or so - i suspect electrical and door handles, as
	is tradition.

	anyway, any experience out there?  pearls of wisdom?
