Is the extended warranty from BRP a good value?
Hello,
New here. Have my new RT on order.
I was wondering if you all thought the Extended Warranty was a good value.
Also, if you purchased a warranty. Would you mind giving some "ballpark" of what you paid for it and for how long you covered it?
Thank you in advance for you help.

Good value? Good question. If you need it, yes it is good value, but if you don’t need it’s a waste of money. All a waranty is, is an insurance policy. Invaluable IF you have problems but a waste of your hard earned cash if you don’t.
just my $0.02 worth.

It's like going to Vagas, sometimes you come out on top, sometimes not!! If you have the extra cash, and it will make you feel better having it, then go for it!! Some of us turn wrenches and will try to fix it ourselves and roll the dice! Good Luck, Ride More Worry Less!!!

I look at it like whoever is selling you the warranty is betting you won't ever need to use it as a consumer, and you are betting that you will need to use it at some point and make your money back.

I'm not big on paying for extended warranties on appliances or "home warranties" or automobiles for that matter. But I have had some policies in the past. It is a gamble though and I've had some pay off and some not. For the Spyder the $671 for 3 yr BEST warranty I think is reasonable and I've purchased it for my F3S.

During my Spyder ownership, I needed to have warranty work done 3 times while under the extended warranty. Each repair cost exceeded the entire cost for the warranty. Sold the Spyder a week after the warranty ran out. It obviously was a great investment for me...... Jim

The Best warranty is the very best out there, it is a factory warranty and just so are fully informed, selling a warranty is the highest profit margin product the Dealer can sell. The $671 price is easily available with a simple phone call. Give your dealer a chance to get close to that, if not call the other dealers that will gladly sell you a warranty for close to $671.00. You do not have to purchase the Best from your selling dealer. I motosports is one that will happily accommodate.

It's a decision only you can make, based on your risk tolerance. I've bought it for both bikes and never used it. I don't regret it for the peace of mind it gave me at the time, but now I know how reliable these machines are and have learned to do my own maintenance and minor repairs, I wouldn't buy it again.
