Rita purchases a used car on 5/1/96 from daytona used cars, inc. The car is a 1982 ford with 50k miles. She purchases the Mechanical Breakdown (MB) insurance with a $100 deductible. On 9/12/97 the transmission blow as the odometer turns over to 61k miles. She had the transmission serviced regularly. She has the car towed ($50) in to Vero Used cars, inc. for repair. The repair costs $450. While it
is in they do a tune up for another $100. What, if anything, will the MB policy pay Rita?
Answer: nothing
Is this because she brought the car into another company for the repairs or because the date of the breakdown is past 12 months of
The date she bought the MB?
My reasoning would be because it is >12 months (or 12,000 miles-whichever first) as a used car.
