Why would you pay $4000?
For what?
BTW to get that 4000 back, you be intending;
1) At a 10% discount to spend 40,000 bucks!
2) At 20% discount 20,000 bucks.
3) At 30%, very unlikely event, around 14,000 bucks.
Don't know about you but all of those amounts are substantial numbers
to me.
I can probably save at the level of number (2) or (3) by intelligent
automobile purchase and usage and by doing some of my own auto and
house maintenance!
Thanks for the insight into their 'Membership Fees' though.
Even recently their ads. running frequently on TV although can't
recall if it is  on Canadian or US channels.
