Here's my warranty dilemma
Here's my warranty dilemma. I made an earlier post on this but I didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle. I have until around the 1st of July to make as decision.....
When I picked up my new to me Ryker today, I told the finance guy that the $1,221, thirty six month BRP Best extended warranty he was giving was being offered by iMotorsports for $621.00 with a $100.00 deductible, and if he could match that I would include it in the price.
He told me he couldn't do that without taking a hit but made a counter offer. He told me he could give me the Zurich extended warranty I mentioned in my earlier post, sixty months, no deductible for $899.00.
I have heard a rumor, and you known how dependable those are, that Zurich was getting out of the warranty business.
So I thought I would throw this out there and see what the more experienced members of the forum feel about it.

They won't lose money. No one will sell a stand alone warranty for a loss. If need be, go elsewhere for the BRP warranty. My .02

Yeah... who knows if the rumor is true or not, but better safe than sorry... BEST from iMotorsports would probably be the safest and cheapest route.

Sierra Cycles in Sierra Vista, AZ sells the BEST warranty for the lowest price I have seen. I would check them out along with iMotorsports. I would definitely stay with BRP offerings rather than take a chance with an unknown..... Jim

Go for the BRP BEST warranty for sure! It will be accepted at any BRP dealership. Not so with an aftermarket plan. Also keep in mind, the 60 months on your aftermarket plan starts on DAY 1, so it’s really only 3 years of extra coverage (provided Rykers come with a 2 year warranty like Spyders do)

Just got off the phone with them. They are priced the same as iMotorsports. Thanks.

OK, well it seems the majority consensus is BRP is the way to go. So that's the advise I'll go with. Thanks all.....

BRP's BEST warranty is the BEST warranty for the price. Shopping around has given you a lowball price, it is accepted by all BRP Spyder dealers.
I would say like the others above...GO FOR IT.
If you are hearing a rumor about Zurich, there MAY be some truth to it. To pay that kind of money and getting told they are out of business at a later date, you won't get your money back, and lawsuits mostly will not be good either.

Pretty safe bet the lawyers got a lot more than $12.91

gkamer. Got my big settlement check too. Its enough to buy a tank of gas for the next ride on the Spyder. Maybe if the lawyers didnt get so much of the settlement I might of got enough of the settlement to buy 2 tanks of gas for my Spyder.
