[QUOTE="Handsome Creepy Eel, post: 1280339, member: 1362"] In Split, Croatia, the [b]Harley Davidson[/b] dealership is conveniently located next to the [b]Miele[/b] dealership - another bullshit image-based company whose products are bought solely for attention whoring purposes. I visited Miele once when my old washing machine broke down and this is how it went: [i]"Why does this washing machine that has features identical to other washing machines cost 800% more?" "Well, it's made with great care, and it has metal components." "But... doesn't every washing machine have metal components?" "Yes, but ours has more, and it's all made in Germany!" "Oh, so it's higher quality than other washing machines." "Exactly. It is so well made that it will last you forever!" "That's great! So it comes with a lifetime warranty?" "No, the warranty is 2 years, and may be extended to 5 years if you purchase extra warranty." "But I thought it was supposed to last forever?" "It will! It's German quality!" "So why don't you offer lifetime warranty then?" "Because you won't even need any warranty! See, it's made in Germany with the highest quality components and manufacturing." "But it will last forever anyway, why can't you offer at least a 5 year warranty?" "Well we do. Just pay (amount equal to an entire washing machine of any other brand) and it will be 5 years." "What about 10 years? Can I pay a bit more to have it extended to that?" "No. 5 year warranty is the maximum." "But it's supposed to last forever. That's why it costs so much." "Of course it does, it's German quality." "I see."[/i] I'm sure the Harley Davidson dealership features the same conversation because other than myself that one time, I've never seen a living soul in either of those shops. [/QUOTE]
