BEST Plus Warranty

[WackyDan]

Given the experience of one spyder owner above, I'd rather stay away from it. His experience may be the exception however.

I'm thinking that at some point in the next two years, there might be a new improved SPyder design, updated engine, etc, and I'll want to trade up anyway.

Some facts about BEST warranty coverage.

- If you purchase your BEST coverage within 60 days of purchasing your unit, there is no surcharge. After that, there is at least a charge of $75 PER YEAR purchased. So if you buy 3 years you'll pay at least an extra $225!!!

- I read that BEST takes care of your 6000 mile service earlier.... if you purchase the BEST PLUS program it pays for all your maintenance servicing, but standard BEST coverage does not. I would recommend BEST PLUS to someone who is never going to do their own servicing.

- Be VERY careful about 'aftermarket' warranty programs, like interstate, star, etc. Most people are told that the warranty is good at ANY dealer. This is not the case. Many dealers, like us, will only accept the BRP warranty. My opinion, but if you're going to a Can-Am dealer for service, get the Can-Am (BRP) warranty.


I think the BEST warranty coverage is a MUST have, especially to protect your investment. To be properly "PC", I won't post my pricing on here, but I'll be glad to quote with a message or a phone call.

Thanks for the info...I should've bought when I got the bike, but at the time, there wasn't a big price difference...what a mistake that turned out to be. I ended up paying $925 at my dealership (could've spent about $600 if I had purchased when I got the bike)...I see some can get it here a bit cheaper, but no biggie on that...they provide good service for me...

I see dltang got the PLUS for only $1300...that almost sounds wrong! If I could've gotten that price, I would've gotten it too...now it's much, much more, and isn't worth fronting all the money...I'll pay for service as I go...I will only put on a few thousand miles a year, so I'm not too worried about service fees...

Just picked up my Spyder and discovered that, while I THOUGHT I had purchased the BEST Plus, I only got the BEST. Dealer doesn't sell the Plus version. Anyone know if I can get it modified from another dealer?
