On ebay I just bought a DEC Cat for 280 shipped and it sounds like its the same one Bavauto is selling for 359 (which even some on this site report problems with the CEL after installing) . . . .I bought it because the EPA recall says 97's on it . . . right after I bought it I stumbled across a copy of the letter sent to owners with 98's promising to cover it for 10 years unlimited mileage. The first dealer I called denied this, the second wanted me to make an appointment so I did for friday . . no idea if the coverage is good for 10 years from manufacture or ten years from purchase but it does say its transferable . . . I'm thinking about bringing the thing in on a flat bed to make a nice impression . . .
