re: $2200 with a $500 service warranty.
If possible could folks on this board with experience in having,
and not having service warranties, discuss this area.
I've been told that in certain large money purchases that have not
any return policy, like a new car, one first needs to identify before
the actual "signed on the dotted line" if the car is a lemon, as once
you bring home that lemon, no matter how great the initial default
warrenty is, the car brings a little piece of Hell to you in terms of
repeated service trips to the dealership for repairs, and while
any extended warrenty helps after the default initial, the produce
continues to be something that just does not work correctly, forever.
For myself I always have brainwaves conflicts, as one part wants
that brand new just out of the box experience like Christams morning,
while someplace in more stable areas in brain, wants caution & stability.
Long ago I watched a movie that was made prior to the Hollywood style
of the action, sex and shock etc trend that leaves out the thinking
and to-experience live via others, and this man in the isolated western part
of America or Australia or anywhere, finally made a success in developing the land,
so he obtained middle age by working 24/7 and never married, and there
was no opportunity to meet ladies where he lived now as a comfortable man
of means that needed not work hard any longer, so he took some cash
and "bought" a mail-order bride.
... she arrived, a very fine & nice hard worker & level-headed etc woman
that far exceeded this man's expectations.
... time passed and their life grew close and rewarding.
... but this man had a corrupted value-judgement.
... eventually after a few years it showed its ugly head when he learned
that the woman was in a prior marriage. The man exploded in rage,
like a person turning from normal to a raging lunatic that destroys.
... the man shouted at her "That piano (which he never learned to play,
but she did and played each night for his enjoyment) I purchased
before you arrived, I made sure that it came directly brand new
untouched & unplayed by anyone so that only I was the first to listen to it.
... days later, distraught and heartbroken on the day he forced her
to leave his ranch and never return, she commented to him.
"A piano sounds the best after being played, not the very first time."
Its apples and oranges, but before purchaing a new car or that
expensive t.v. make sure its not a lemon before you sign over the cash.
The sales person will lie and tell you "not possible" to do that.
Drive the car/tv hard for a day, use every feature to its limits,
and if its a lemon it will make you pucker-up nasty style.
If its not a lemon, then any problems it has hidden for later will happen
in a later time frame under the default no cost warrenty, and if so,
then any cash you give extra for extended warrently only becomes
a value returned for a small percentage of folks, probably those
that drive the product hard, or misuse it.
d:oug
$500 $2200 (or) 500/2200 (or) 5/22 is a HUGE percentage |
