You're right, a warranty is not meant to be a warranty: it's meant to
entice people to buy the car.  Like advertising, rebates, or
discounted "employee pricing" sales, a warranty has a certain average
cost to the company -- it's all about selling cars.

You're certain they will use reman parts for warranty work?  I'd
expect new factory parts, but you'll have to read the fine print.
Remanufactured parts are not necessarily bad, either.  Are they from
Germany?  They may be OK.  Are they from China or India?  Less
certain.
