Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed
I just recently purchased a 2022 Spyder Sea To Sky model on August 1st.
I have a few questions about extended warranty.
Is it best to buy the extended warranty off the dealership where you purchased your Spyder?
Do the prices vary from dealer to dealer?
Will all dealers honor the warranty no matter who you buy it from?
Need your advice please.

1) only if they give you a good price otherwise shop around.
2) Yes check around iMotorsports has a great price, and there are others
3) Yes esp if it is the BEST warranty. You can buy that any time before your factory expires. I had one from Zurich because my factory had expired when I bought my Spyder, but it was honored by other dealers.

Besides what Poster #2 said ...... IMHO I would wait until your OEM warranty was close to expire ..... Why ? - well if you sell the Spyder next year or so you won't have even used the BEST warranty yet ..... .....Mike

Get the price from Imotorsports and ask your local dealer if they will match or come close to the number.
I was able to get the match from my dealer without any push-back.
Just me, but I feel if I ever need to use the warranty, I MAY get better response from the guy who sold me the RT & Ext warranty.

I bought my 2020 RTL in October 2020 from a dealer in mid-illinois. I just purchased my 3 year BEST extended warrenty last month (September) for $671 from Imotorsports.

When i read these threads, and they come up several X’s a year, i always wonder how many spyder owners actually were able to use the extended warranty during the 3 year warranty period. Anyone?

Well for me, only two times. The savings was more than the cost. So a good choice for me.

I have used it twice now. Would have cost me far more than the price I paid from IMotorsports. If I had never used it (for me) it would have still been worth the cost just for the peace of mind knowing it was there.
Hope this helps

An interesting comment Jake. Extended warranties are a "crap-shoot" at best. They are extra profit extenders for the dealers. The pricing is open for the dealer to charge the customer X, Y, or Z. In most cases, the extended warranties are never used, or are minimally used.
Now the Catch 22. Spyders are much better than the earlier versions (IMO). There are fewer "lemons" out there now than there has seemed to be in the past. That said, Spyders are NOT cheap to fix. Anything not covered by warranty can be killer for some people. Hence, the extra security that they bring to mind.
Me: I have NEVER bought the extended warranty. This is over a lifetime of seven Spyders. I got a "free" two year extended warranty on my 2014 1330. Never needed to use it. Kept it six years and 46K miles. I have thrown the dice, and, so far, no issues. My current F3's are now out of OEM warranty. I did not up for the extended.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

Jake, you must remember that a “warranty” is just another name for “insurance”. While you have a “mortgage” on your home, you must maintain insurance. Until your Spyder is fully paid off, you must maintain insurance. The strange part of this is that when your “warranty “ expires you don’t “have to” maintain the warranty. The majority usually maintain house insurance, but do NOT consider or at best, question the necessity of an “extended warranty). Why is that? Because it is for most, only a toy?

I'm one of the blokes whose B.E.S.T. extended warranty expired unused. My parking brakes motor was replaced about a year after I bought the bike when it was still under factory warranty. Would I do it again? Based on what I've read about the 2020-2022 MYs yes. I know it's a crap shoot. I hope to get at least 150K out of my '14 RT-S and I'm working on 82K now. Pandemic has eaten into my annual mileage.

Like ARTraveler said "It's A Crap Shoot"
I hope to never need it but with all of the electronics, you never know. I'll post back "If" I ever need it.

If I had bought my spyder New I would have purchased the extended warranty. It sure paid off when I bought a 3 year extended warranty on my 2009 Yamaha Raider Motorcycle, at 51,000 miles rear wheel bearing froze up and did $1,500.00 worth of damage, have no idea what the labor charges to fix would have been. I purchased said warranty from a 3rd party for less than from dealer.

I just bought the BEST WARRANTY from Tom at Imotorsports (630-634-8428) for my 2021 F3 Spyder today. The price of 671.00 is still good. Very easy process. Have your VIN and a payment option. It took less than 5 mins. You are sent a email conformation while on the phone.

Thanks for this number. I picked up my 2021 RT Limited on Monday. Looked over the paper work and she put it into service 12/8/2020. I will be calling them either this week or next.
