Good to know, thanks. Was wondering why there seemed to be no reaction from the inquiry via the company page.
Thanks, SEGsby Quote:

*nods* Points well spoken.
The one thing I found odd was, after the rental which ended on the 26th of August, no one at the store said, "So, would you like to buy one?" All they said was, "Have you seen the new i2?" Which I had earlier that week... I told them I had a great time with the machine, learned a lot about it, and that was that. Thanks, SEGsby Quote:

I ordered my i2 today!
Today went well...
I got a call back from the saleswoman from Segway in LA, and she said they could apply $300 of my week rental to the purchase. Though not the full amount, it was many times better then nothing. I was informed that I could also pay for the Commuter Package, get the base machine now, then wait for the parts; as others have done. This seemed much better than yesterday's discussions, so I was pretty happy. I put down $500 on my debit card for the deposit to order the new i2 machine. Was told the rental credit would be added in later, after the machine comes in and the deal is finalized. My new white i2 Segway should supposedly arrive later in the month. Thanks to all for their suggestions and support, SEGsby |

Not ambiguous

I would've held them to their offer. The wording may have been clumsy or not what they meant to say, but I bet their lawyer would shrug and say "Sorry." They're lucky you settled for $300 of the $500 you should have gotten. If I were in your shoes, I'd be wary of what other commitments and offers they will try to weasel out of next. |

I have paperwork from renting a machine from Segway Los Angeles (located in Santa Monica) in July, 2005. It clearly states,
"Should you decide to buy, we will gladly credit up to $300 of your rental toward the purchase." I don't know if they have reprinted anything since then but the rates on the web match those I have in print... Their web page states "If you would like to rent a Segway before making the decision to purchase, we will gladly deduct up to $300 of your rental from the purchase price if you decide to buy within 30 days." I have no idea how long that has been there but it is shown on the XT/i180/GT page with a 2005 copyright. (A web page is not a binding contract.) It doesn't state that you have to purchase the machine that was rented or make a commitment immediately after the rental but it does state that the limit is $300. This protects them from someone renting for two months and then expecting $1800 off a brand new machine (Or using their machine for six months and then gliding out with a new machine for $200!).

I never browsed their entire site-- just the rental page to check rates. Its where I got the info they could apply a rental twards purchase (sans any exclusions or limitations, etc.).
Your info is much appreciated and is in line with what was offered as a purchase credit yesterday vs the prior day on the phone. This makes me feel better about the transaction. thanks, SEGsby Quote:
