Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
Hamilton, Circuit Judge.
In his telling, plaintiff Nicholas Knopick bought a $415,000 jalopy, but to be more precise, a limited liability company he controls bought the $415,000 jalopy. This factual shift determines the outcome of this case. Knopick has sued the manufacturer under the vehicle's express limited warranty. That warranty does not cover the vehicle because the warranty excludes from coverage all vehicles purchased by business entities-like limited liability companies. The district court granted summary judgment to the manufacturer. We affirm.
