I was in the process of trading-in a 2006 Outback 3.0 VDC that I'd purchased Added Security (7/100,000, $100 deductible) on. The car has 11,500 miles on it.
I paid the dealer (same one I am trading it in to) $1650, the price that I found online (they wanted the "standard" $1950), and, since it states on the back of the Added Security form you get that this MUST be refunded if the car is traded-in to a dealer (it can be transferred to the new owner, if sold privately, for $35), I fully expected and demanded to get back $1650 (maybe minus $35 or something for paperwork).
I was told that this will be pro-rated and I'll only be getting back $1350. Since Added Security can be bought at any time during the original warranty period, and, doesn't take affect until the original warranty period expires, I think I'm getting ripped off.
Any reason I should accept a "pro-rated" return of my money on Added Security?
Thanks.
