Lorbeks do have some very nice cars, but just tread carefully.

ANF Posted 13June, 2018 Report Share Posted 13June, 2018 7 minutes ago, LeeM said: At a guess, I'll go with 'Must pay full price and $XXXX per year for 10 years' Probably similar to what was included with my latest purchase, worth 3/4 of 5/8 of F... all. I think $300 per item, list a few and then about $1k for a big item. In other words not worth the paper it is written on..... It was included I certainly never asked for it and may keep it current for a few months, generally you need to get your car serviced every 6 months to keep them current.....

Dreamr Posted 13June, 2018 Report Share Posted 13June, 2018 1 hour ago, turboT said: sure sure....but does yours come with a 10 year warranty?? Do Toyota's even come with 10 years? Recon I have near immediately dropped $7k - $10k on every air cooled I have bought . That adds up over 10 years. Can they really be offering that? Those warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on .... It is offered through a third party warranty company. If it did qualify for the warranty, something would have to break while going uphill at no more than 5kph with the left blinker on and the wipers on low speed .... if any of those are on different settings, the warranty is void ... If it does qualify, the claim amount would be so low for each repair that you would spend more in fuel going to an approved repaired than to just get it fixed.... Kinda get where I'm going with this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For general knowledge if you pay a deposit by credit card and the dealer reneg's on terms of contract and you decide not to proceed with purchase, stealer decides to pocket deposit, call the card Company with explanation and suddenly the money they thought they had was missing. This happened to me at a dealership with initials Brighton Mazda. bear924 and scashin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
