06/05/2003 Archived Entry: "Clarification"

Here's a bit of clarification about the VIP plan, mentioned in my previous post.

Scheduled service for three years: $220.00 x 6 == $1,320
Extended warranty: $480.00
Total I'd spend: $1,800

VIP cost, which includes all of the above: $899

Difference: $901.00

Since I am absolutely buying the extended warranty no matter what, this means that I'm getting $1,320 of scheduled maintenance for $419.

So, as I said in a reply to one of the e-mails I received, this is inarguably a good deal--but is it worth having? Will I require six maintenance visits over the first three years, assuming I ride the bike 10-15 miles per day?

Man, this is all complicated and stuff...
