Do you mind telling mew how you got Medicare? I'm not a senior and I tried
to get it, but they told me that I was too young.
Here is the estimate that they sent me.
*Motor w/ Gear Box-left 395.00
*Footrest Hanger w/ Lock-left 35.87
*24 Gel Batteries 420.00
Headrest Reupholstery 75.00
Rear Tires w/ Flat Free Inserts 223.86
Labor 195.00
___________
Total 1,344.73
The batteries were working fine a week ago and if I needed new batteries, I
go to a whole seller place and save $200. The only thing that I need to
get replace is the motor and the foot hanger.
Tim
