Sent my information to Chuck and he just called to tell me the previous owner purchased an extended contract, which can be transferred to me for $50. I've left a message for the previous owner, so hopefully I'll have a new warranty for $50 soon.
I've read a lot of postings over the last few months and I'm a true believer of how strong and honest the Viper community is. Chuck could have easily sold me a warranty, but he did some research (unlike my local dealer) and has come up with a better option.
Thanks Chuck - you'll be hearing form me again soon as I now have some extra money for upgrades!
