Cost of Dealer Repairs?? Warranty vs Owner

[jimcrom]

As I wait for the issue of determining whether the sprocket is going to be covered under the extended warranty or not, my question is if it is not covered under warranty, is there a difference between the cost of warranty repairs and when it is coming out of your own pocket. I have been told that at an auto body shops, the cost, if being paid by the insurance company is be bust out retail, but if it is not being covered by insurance there is room to negotiate. Is there any negotiating room for the repairs? We are talking $2600 to replace the sprocket and the shaft.

If it's going to be covered as a warranty repair I don't care how much (or little) it costs. I just get curious when it's my wallet that is going to be opening up for it! I would imagine that the factory tells the dealer how much they pay for something under warranty, since they know what's involved in the repair.
If we have to pay the bill, I'm guessing that there might be some room, but that's between you and the dealership... Good luck!
