[s-cars] Penn Warranty and Northern NY Audi Mech

[Bruce Mendel]

If the warranty is limited to US mechanics, it's also highly likely that it 
is limited to US cars registered in the US with a US owner. So check 
carefully.

Penn is a small company, not great, but not terrible either. While the cost 
of the warranty may be only 1/3 of the cost of turbo swap, all warranties 
have caps on them. So you need to read the contract carefully to see what 
the caps are; price paid for car? Cap per claim amount? Is the cap tied to 
bluebook trade-in value so it diminishes over time and by the time you need 
the turbo done it won't have enough value left to cover it?

There's a lot to watch out for in this business. I get emails all the time 
from people that got screwed buying a warranty for one reason or another.

And the selling dealer likely knows nothing about the actual minutiae of the 
warranty except what it adds to his bottom line profit.
