I have a car that is paid off and a budget that is tight. I am afraid my car will need a major repair that I am not able to pay for even though it runs great now. It's like me, it's getting on in years... It's a 2000 with 101K miles... I heard the ad and thought i heard it was eligible since it was less than 200K... When i called he said i was "over the limit"... I questioned it, but thought i had heard the ad wrong... I listened to his line about getting it approved by his super...
Since i have made many car deals, I'm well aware of the "let me consult my super..." routine. He came back after 30 sec. And what do you know he could work a miracle and get me approved. Then we got into $. For around $2,500 i could pay for this 5 yr warranty. Which card would i like to use... I said i couldn't afford that - he broke it into payments; how accommodating. Payments of around $300 down and 190some a mo. I said i couldn't afford that. He asked if i was retired and explained that he hated to be so rude... I said i was working but almost retired. He said because i was senior he could get me a deal, but had to consult with "guess who... The super.
He came back... Now the deal had dropped to $95 down and $70some a mo. For 24 months... But i had to take the offer right then. Which card would i like to use... Then i had more questions, he was perservering quite well, and kept asking "which card would i like to use"... I explained that i don't buy things like this on the spur of the moment without having the info in writing and in front of me... He said that's not how it worked - and i said well, how would i be sure i had what he said i had. He explained how Fidelis was A rated, ppppffffttt, and how they had been in business for 25 yrs.
And how their NASCAR sponsor wouldn't speak for them if he wasn't 100% on the up and up... Which card would i like to use... Then i said well, what if i'm not happy with it when i get it... Oh you can cancel it anytime... And we would issue a refund. Which card would i like to use... I smelled a rat... Took Pollyanna quite a while since i wanted to believe that someone would give my poor old car a warranty since that's what i wanted to hear... Thankfully, i ran and hid... He was well trained in the art of bulls&^*! BEWARE... Which card would YOU like to use... None
