Re: GE Bumper to Bumper warranties

[rsco@lubrizol.com (Robert S. Cohen)]

FYI-

GE aftermarket warranties can be bought from _ANY_ dealer that carries
them. They have dealer costs, and retail prices. You should be able to deal
on the price (alot). They don't need to bought with the car. They don't
need to be bought from the same dealer the car came from.

Unless you've signed off on the purchase agreement, maybe you can get it at
cost as part of the deal. On the other hand....you could simply shop around
for it.
