I have a 06 with about 20k (trouble free) miles on it and the mfg warranty is about to expire. So I was wondering, should I have anything check/tested before the warranty expires? I would hate to have a problem and not know it until after the warranty.

 

Get any broken cosmetic bits fixed, incl the soft top. Don't know about 06 but my 08 is powertrain warranteed for 5/60. Make sure no seal leaks exist, driveline is tight and diff is slipping properly on turns. Make sure no funny noises from the engine to the exhaust. Diffs are noisy but that's normal, as long as they are not grinding horrible. Other than that, I cannot think of anything, these cars are among the most reliable and 20K miles, your car is not even broken in yet.

 

i would get all the service bullitans done if they apply to your car.

 

Check that top closely for wear and any looseness at the latches!

 

Check for the infamous crappy welds on the soft top frame -- and have it fixed now before the top tears and you're SOL.

 

your 3 years is almost up but you still have 2 more years on power train. i believe, power train is covered for 5 years after 06
