So, I'm about to place my order for my Riocar, not that prices have dropped. I know you guys will be booing me for holding out but I simply couldn't afford at the original price.

My question is about getting Support and Parts after the 12 months warranty is up.

I know that I can get every bit of information I need from somewhere on the BBS and believe me, it is you guys which have inspired my to buy one.

But what happens if a major part fails after a year and a day ? Am I stuffed or will Empeg / SB be holding parts until supplies are exhausted. Presumably, i would be just plain bad luck to pick on a common failing part, which is out of stock after the 12 months ?

Another way of looking at it, I think, is that its gonna take SB a while to shift ALL of the units they have even at this price, it at the top of the consumer market pricing, any they are obliged to offer 12 months warrenty on all of them even if the last one is sold 12 months from now. With that in mind i should be OK for 24 months (even if I have to pay for parts/labour on the repair)

Thoughts from you guys appreciated.
