The fact that he is selling the van make the one year warrenty battery a no
brainer. If
he really was cheap and wanted to be a dog, he would just leave the crappy
battery in there
now and just make sure its charged before a possible buyers comes... Plus I
didn' think
the warrnty is transferable anyways? I don't think Autozone,Pepboys, and
parts super sellers like these allow for the transfrer of a warrenty either.
Thats something I am got to look into.
So for a buyer the warrenty wouldn't apply anyways.
