[s-cars] warranty GP?

[Paul Krasusky]

Morning, again (long-ish)-

Upon reading Bruce Mendel's post:

<<<<<<<<<The one I just bought (www.accelwarranty.com) is not on the above
web page.=
 However, they covered my car as a 1993 with 95K miles, for 3 yrs/36K miles=
, for $1700, $94 monthly "pay as you go" plan, fully transferable and cance=
lable, and great coverage!

I can tell you from my experience that the first extended warranty I had, w=
hich I bought at 65K miles for $1500, has paid out well over $6K on my car.=
 I consider a well-researched warranty a must-have AND a great deal for the=
 S-cars. I could not afford my car otherwise!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

...I was intrigued.  I'd traded emails with him about this before and he
obviously swears by it (I'm normally skeptical about these things).  Then I
saw Chad Hall's experience with Accel not going smooth.  So, I included his
saga in my list of questions for them.  They intervened with Chad and solved
it immediately, FWIW (it was an issue with procedure, not coverage).

I got mine this morning, can't wait.  Why?  Er, email either Bruce or I
direct to protect the innocent.  It covers basically everything we are
concerned with, including OE stereo equipment, control arm bushings, tie rod
ends, flywheels, etc.  No bulbs, lenses, clutches, brake pads, tires,
exhausts, paint, chrome, etc.  But the big things we know are destined to,
er, well, are covered.

ANYway.  While Bruce & I were trading Q&A's with them, we had a thought.
Ask Accel about doing a GP.  Some discount for 10 or more or something.  And
stuff.

After suggesting 10% off for 10 or more, 20% off for 20, etc., they
responded there wasn't sufficient margin to offer that.  The 'deal' for us
they said they could do is $75 off for 10 or more persons.  For my '95 mit
97k, the 3/36 plan, $0 deductible, was $1,915.  So, it's only about a 4%
savings, but hey, it's better than nothing.  As Bruce and others have
pointed out, I WILL get my $$$'s worth out of this thing.  I can guarantee
that!  But I figured I share with you all what he & I learned last week.

This is from Accel:

<<<<<<<<<<<<the plan actually allows for any year, any mileage, so we are
able to take care of your friends in the group regardless of year or
mileage. We felt we had to put a beginning and stopping point on the web to
try to eliminate some of the higher-risk, high-mileage vehicles. But I know
Audi's are good cars, and it sounds like your group really takes good care
of them, so I wouldn't have a problem with the any mileage, any year plan
for your group.>>>>>>>>>>

So, there would be a plan for all of our cars.  I think the 3/36 option
drops to 2/24 after 100k, and possibly after a certain age. I also inquired
about a zero deductible option ($100 per visit not repair), it's available
for and upfront $115 (no brainer).  As Bruce mentioned, you can pay upfront
or monthy, mine comes to $100 / month.  It's interest free, you can pre-pay
the balance, and it's transferable (no brainer, again!).

Email me directly I guess if you're interested or have questions, and I'll
put you in touch directly with the President of the company that I've been
dealing with ever since I referenced Chad's plight, if we're able to hit the
magic 10.

If not, no biggie, I'll still be laughing all the way to my mechanic  with
my own plan.
