Would you buy a new car without a warranty? The warranty is just that, a WARRANTY, not insurance. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Nice try Dan, but your argument doesn't fly. Does your car warranty cover mechanical damage caused by you? Of course not. Make no mistake about it. Leica USA is forcing you to couch up a couple hundred dollars or so for a warranty (a.k.a. insurance)...which most people don't need. I just purchased a car with a 100,000 mile "Manufactures" warranty, good anywhere in the world. If I were to sell that car, the warranty is transferable to the new owner. Is that true of the Leica Passport warranty?...Hell no. I think at the top of the passport warranty it should say in big red letters "HELLO SUCKER". It's a rip-off. It's like purchasing the "Collision Damage Waver" when you rent a car. The "Passport warranty" just represents EXTRA PROFIT for Leica. Nothing more...nothing less. At least you have the option of declining the "Collision Damage Waver". Regards, Bill __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
