I saw an ad on TV last night for the 03s and wasn't paying real close attention to the last part but I THINK I heard 7 yr/70,000 mile warranty, but what I'm curious about is that the fine print at the bottom of the screen said something about a deductible. Don't think I have ever heard of a deductible on a warranty. Just curious what this is about -- not in the market as my 2000 isn't broken in yet.
