    Default extended warranty

    Hi guys trying to make a edecated decision about extended wareanty. I have a 2012 RT Limited just over 12000 miles on it. I am the only owner. In the past two years only problem I have had is the radio. They were verry good about it and installed a new one no questions asked. My question is. Is it worth the 1100 dollars they want for another three years. I know there are a lot of electronics onboard. Should I throw the dice and hope? Or should I bit the bullet and spend the money. I only have a few days left to decide so any advice or experience would be greatley appreciated.

    I am hoping you mean 1100 and not 11000! I am trying to decide the same?

    You should do it but that $1100 ought to be closer to $750. Shop around.

    According to my paperwork, I was charged $799 for a full 7 year BEST warranty (3+4), when I bought my new RT. That's an insurance policy that costs me $114.14 per year, is worth more than I paid for it, if I sell the RT, and covers me anywhere in the US, except FL, which I will never see on my Spyder. I would choose the extended warranty on a Spyder before any other farkle - but I like to sleep at night.

    Call Pitbull in MO, and ask them. I'm pretty sure you will get the best pricing from them.

    Call Pitbull and Bert's Mega Mall and if you don't purchase it through one of them you may be able to get your dealer to price match.

    Do you happen to know if the Zurich Warranty is also transferrable like the BEST is? I'll PM you for dealer info as well, if you don't mind.
