First F3 deliveries??
Has anyone heard anything firm as to when the first F3s will arrive at the dealers?? My wife has the first one coming to our dealer, but they don't seem to have a clue as to when. They estimate Jan.-March......a rather large window.

Spyder F3
I went to the opening event where they unveiled the Spyder and allowed us to test drive it 2 weeks ago. At the time they said it would be the first of the year before production models are released. They told us there are currently only 10 of them in the U.S. on the street or at dealers. The F3 I rode on 12/13/14 had 830 miles on it.

At the demo event in TX last week, the Can Am reps said deliveries would start at the end of January or early February. Hope it's sooner than later!

Warranty Issue Resolved?
I wonder if they have addressed the issue of people trying to close a deal prior to Jan 31st (to get the free promotion extended warranty) and the impossibility of doing this when they don't have them at dealers before Jan 31st. Anyone heard anything about this?

If you close the deal within the extended warranty promotion time, you get the warranty promotion deal. If dealer says otherwise, contact BRPcare. Delivery date has nothing to do with it.
The warranty should begin on the delivery date though.

Extended Warranty
My dealer informed me that I needed to put up a minimum deposit of $250 in order to get the extended warranty. I had put up a deposit of $100 originally because that is the amount that they asked for at the time. I paid the additional $150 the other day to make sure that I get the extended two year warranty.

Closing the Deal
The problem is that putting down a deposit doesn't "close the deal." In order to have purchased the F3, you need a VIN# so that the sale can be completed. Now, it is possible that a dealer might get a VIN on the F3 that's being shipped, but as of right now, my understanding is that if you don't officially buy the F3 (not put a deposit on it) you probably won't get the warranty. I have actually already ordered and paid for the BRP accessories I want...if that doesn't qualify for a serious intent to purchase, I don't know what does.
I wish BRP would jump in here and let us know that having placed a deposit and then following through with the purchase would qualify us for the warranty. That would certainly be in the spirit of the promotion.

I would love to get a firm answer to this question as well. I left a $1000.00 deposit for a 2015 RT at my dealer in Nov and he said I would get the extended warranty.

Describe "close the deal" without the bike, Vin number. All I have is an Order sheet showing price, $1000 deposit.

I am sure this will work the same way it did when I purchased my 14 RT. I placed a deposit in Nov of 13 and picked it up in March of 14. There was no vin number until it was built in Feb of 14.
What I was told was that once the Spyder was delivered to the dealer I had 14 days to complete the sale in order to get the free extended warranty.
I also was concerned that I was going to get the warranty since I did not take delivery before the promotion expired.
Have no fear - you will get it as long as you pay for it within BRP's timeframe after it arrives at your dealer.

There may not really be simple answer to this question. I am hearing that bikes will be delivered in January (no black until Feb) but that some of the accessories that your ordered on your "custom" bike may not be available until at least March - so in essence you may get your full Spyder F3 delivered over time... Order date and test ride date don't mean anything clearly... I ordered mine on 8/26/2014 and test rode 424 miles on Thanksgiving and I won't see my black F3 until at least February...

That is basically how I anticipate the warranty being delivered as well. I work at a new Can Am dealer and I expect that anyone who pre orders one of these while the promotion is going on and takes delivery within the first 2-3 weeks will get the warranty.

Now that's fair...
Getting the free extended warranty with a purchase right after the F3 arrives at the dealer would be fair...Hope that is the way they do it.

RE: closing the deal. I am speaking from experience with my local dealer--your dealer may be different.
Your very right on the questions you have concerning actual legalities. It is hard to legally close the deal without the all important vin #, etc.
That said, I told the dealer what I wanted (2014 RTS--Yellow) in late September of 2013. No deposit required (since I had previously purchased 4 others). No financing required, I paid cash on delivery. The dealer "forgot" to order my RT with his initial order. Wrong models and colors were ordered--so I was not a happy camper. Dealer did work with me, and I also had BRPcare working on it in the background.
I also had questions about the extended warranty/delivery date issue. My Spyder was built and shipped about April 15th, and arrived at my dealer in time for me to pick it up on April 30th. I was guaranteed the extended warranty regardless of delivery date. Intent should have a bit to do with things, in the event that dates get screwed up for whatever.
A deposit--IMO--represents intent to purchase and the tender of same, should be sufficient for the extended warranty, even though delivery date come after the special offer.
It is not the dealers fault if the machines are built later than originally promised. The dealer should honor the intent of the sale and work with the customer, rather than use it as an excuse to save a few bucks if they are required to "kick in" on some of the warranty costs. Let's see what happens.
I am guessing that "customer service" is still a high priority.
