~ Factual Situation ~
Assume, for the sake of this survey, you are in the market to purchase a specific resale vehicle that typically sells for $20,000.00. Your venture into the market place leads you to three vehicles that ideally fit your needs. All are comparable in Year, Make, Model, Equipment, Apparent Condition and Miles.
All three units are available for $20,000.00.
• Vehicle "A" has No collision history and all original Factory Warranties will transfer to you.
• Vehicle "B" had incurred $5,000.00 worth of collision repairs per factory recommendations using new factory original (OEM) body parts. All original Factory Warranties will transfer to you.
• Vehicle "C" had incurred $5,000.00 worth of collision repairs but has After-Market Body and/or Mechanical Parts. Only a portion of the original Factory Warranty will transfer to you. The original Factory Warranty will Not cover the After-Market Parts nor any Consequential Damage due to a Failure of those After-Market Parts.
All other factors are equal !
