Bottom Line:
I can buy a high quality car with an outstanding warranty
that I probably will never need and I have the guarantee by the State with
the Vehicle Lemon Law that the car will be bought back if the dealer cannot
or refuses to fix it. I can buy in confidence.
|
Bottom Line:
I can buy "The Biggest Investment in My Life" with a
warranty I hope I will never need, since it is so limited. I buy this knowing
I have the least amount of protection for this purchase and with little
or no confidence.
