One thing that I always try to keep in mind,
when I buy a larger priced item,
besides all of the spec's on a product,
is; Is it easy to return, should there be a  problem.
For instance, I bought a Jacuzzi tub from a  wholesaler,
That did not want to trade it straight across,
when (my mistake) I bought a L/H instead of what I should  have (R/H) Wanted
a large re-stock charge???
If I can get an Optima from Wallyworld,
& the price is good, it makes sense. (to me :o)   ....
They return items without blinking an  eye.
& you just cant put a price tag on time &  hassle!
best,
