In this recession, are you keeping your car longer than you originally planned? I have a plan for you to consider, but 1st …

This was my ride my senior year. My buddy, George Brinegar, who was at that point a 5th year senior and as a result, living in the apartment complex I was in instead of living on the quad, loved to ride with me. George had an upcoming Army contract and was going to be in Armor in the army. The sunroof in my Monte Carlo was a great training ground for George as he loved to act as if he was in a tank, standing with one foot on the console and one in the passenger seat, poking out the sunroof in true tank/armor commander style. GREAT fun in those days! By the way, George not only became a tank/armor commander in the army, but also spent a career there and retired a Brigadier General!
Let us know what you were driving and even better, if you have a picture, post it!
Back to the recession, in 2007-2010, the age of vehicles on the road advanced drastically due to consumers deciding against buying a new car. Now, the economic situation isn't identical, but it's similar. What's NOT similar is the extremely high price of new and used cars due to supply shortage. I had a conversation with a fellow Ag in the Denver airport the other day about his car coming off lease and he was going to buy the lease out instead of getting a new car like he'd always done due to "ridiculous" prices and supply shortage.
He didn't need a service contract (aka warranty) while the vehicle was new and under full factory warranty, but deciding to keep that vehicle a bit longer creates a risk of mechanical breakdown.
The cost and term for a service contract if you buy one now is probably for a much longer period of time and higher price than might make sense when you're not even certain how long you plan to keep the current vehicle while the supply shortage and pricing anomalies clear up. The price alone averages $3,500.
That's where ProtectionLiNK offers an alternative. We offer a month-to-month service agreement that has no commitment required beyond 30 days at a time. You can keep the protection at the level of coverage you choose for as long or as short of a time that suits you.
Our most famous competitor (you see them on TV and hear them on the radio 50 times a day) costs about 40% more than we do (media buys and celebrity endorsements are expensive). Additionally, they have an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau while our administrator has an "A" BBB rating. Simply said, our coverage and service is superior and at a lower cost too!
Finally, we're Aggie founded, owned, and operated. Please check us out! Call or email me and I'll personally reply.
