He wants it for a spare, like a spare tire; I think the 1 year warranty on the spare DI is of no consequence, since it probably won't go bad just sitting unused??
robp: Make sure to pack a spare set of spark plugs too (and pre-gap them)because there have been stories of new DI units going bad immediately due to worn plugs. If you ever have to change your DI change the plugs too. Also when you store the DI, keep it right side up, that is, rubber boots facing down. I read the cooling oil won't be in the right place otherwise, and it takes a long time to resettle. Let us know where you're able to buy one without a core charge, I might get one too. I don't think the price will go down from ~$308, I have a feeling it might even go up...
At my dealer this morning, I overheard the service manager explain to a customer why the brake rotors had to be changed so soon (the customer actually got 40,000 miles of service from his rotors, yet he was pissed); anyhow, the service manager went on to say that it's not uncommon to spend $550 for front brakes... Jeez, what the heck?! What is that, $350 for parts (2 rotors and a set of pads) and $200 for labor? Outrageous!!
Thank goodness you don't need a Tech 2 device to change brakes. When the time comes, I'll change 'em myself!!
