Re: ETB
Just what we need...some sleezeball company in California telling my client in Maryland that they should buy based on equipment specs and price rather than the reputation of the servicing dealer and the committment of that dealer to earn the clients business every day. And of course, they'll take their cut at the time of sale and leave the client with simply the cheapest equipment being serviced by the cheapest vendor...Dirtbags! Have a nice day! Brian

Re: Vendor charging for future service in B.O.(?)
If a customer could not be charged for unused clicks, all maintenance agreements would be cancellable upon request whether there was a lease involved or not. That being said, I wouldn't put anything past New York (or California for that matter). Some lease agreements have maintenance costs just "pass through" the leasing company. However, some dealers have been known to get their maintenance "pre-funded" by the lease agreement meaning the dealer excepts a discounted rate for the maintenance...
