You can vote many times if you bought several bikes using different scenarios. If you were buying online (eBay, etc) you may never had a chance to look at it, so select "Did not inspect".

Yup.  And get a discount to boot.   :icon_mrgreen:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
