Quotes to ponder:
"Service contracts cost extra and are sold separately."
"The chance of you needing a costly repair, even on a used car, are slim."
"You may still opt-in for service warranties, even when you know, the math may not work out in your favor since you find value in the peace of mind the coverage brings."
