A hard – but important - lesson

.
Rozie was enjoying the drive home from college in her new compact car. Suddenly, she saw a piece of tire tread ahead in her lane. Because of traffic, she couldn’t avoid running over it. She heard it glance off the floor board. A little farther down the road she pulled over to check for damage. There, beneath the engine, she saw a dangling wire.

The next morning she took it to the dealer where she’d bought the car and the extended warranty. It wasn’t long before the service manager approached her with news that the oxygen sensor had been damaged and the repair would cost a little over $500. “ Boy,” Rozie thought, “am I happy I bought that extra service plan.” Between college and the new car payment, she was in no position to pay for costly repairs.

Then came the words, “Sorry, ma’am. That part isn’t covered by this warranty. It says down here in the fine print…”

Rozie now says she’s learned her lesson – the hard way. “From now on, I’m reading the whole contract, fine print and all, before I sign anything. No more expensive surprise for me.”



All the best,
