All I know is my SPF is now 7 years old with well over 30,000 miles and I STILL get some things addressed by my dealer (Dynamic) and or SPF in CA for nothing or next to nothing. Granted, they are not big items but SPF nor Dynamic owe me a thing. So, as far as I am concerned, I have received better warranty service from SPF / Dynamic than I do from any of my 6 other cars which include Lincoln, Jaguar, Lexas and GM (Corvette) all of which are high end cars.

That said, I would hardly expect SPF to expose themselves to potential liability for warranty issues on second hand cars by breaking their own written policy and setting the precedent of extending the warranty to a second purchaser. If they do that for one, how can they refuse others? While the car in question as no engine and is unquestionably "new" insomuch as it has never been driven, many new owners might go out and pound the crap out of a car and then sell it and I sure would not want to be holding the liability of warranty issues if I was the manufacturer. I don't know why any of these kit car companies (or factory built replicas or whatever description one wants to use) offer any warranties at all.....but I am glad that they do.
