GRAVE WARNING. YOUR WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.



My father in-law has been dead almost ten years. After he died, my husband as executor had his mail transferred to our address. Occasionally he still gets solicitations for chemically treating his lawn or an appeal for money from a charity. We haven’t seen one for a while. Yesterday he received a letter notifying him his vehicle warranty was expired or about to expire. I think the full sized Ford sedan he drove was a 1989 or 1990 model. Surprised to hear that was still under warranty. More surprised he kept up the warranty those last few years he did not drive.
We’ll have to ponder this one. We no longer have the car. Sure is a shame to let that warranty lapse, but the letter does say “this notification may be your last chance to extend your coverage”. We might still have another chance. I guess there is no way to escape junk mail, even when you are dead.
