• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

BRP deal until July 10th.....

There are still demo ride events listed through August 12th, wonder if you took the demo ride you could get both current deals, $500 voucher and BEST warranty. They properly don't combine offers but if any one is looking to purchase and are in these areas worth going to chat.

I don't think the McDonald's analogy of a 2 dollar coffee matches up well with a 20 to 30K purchase. MANY retail outlets have policies regarding sale prices/promotions happening within 30 days of purchase allowing for inclusion or refunds. I had bought an IPAD 1, 2 weeks before the IPAD 2 came out and Apple refunded the price drop difference. That leaves a good feeling and I bought 3 more IPADs from them for the family.
That said, we all make deals in life that we have to live with and overall I'm happy with the Spyder. I just received my owners packet, right after they announced the extra 2 year warranty I didn't get and they include Spyder cards so I can be a Spyder proponent/sales person for them. If you want that kind of customer loyalty/reward, you need to earn it. I don't see myself telling others to buy from them without waiting for special deals. Also, dealers need to be more proactive if they know marketing events are going to be happening in the near term. If they go out of their way like that we will use them again in the future.

I second all that, like you I did not receive the $500 voucher or the extended warranty promo. and just received my owners packet (with cards). How ever I should of received the voucher because I went through there web sight and dealer contacted me to test ride (not official test ride event) this should of qulified me for the $500. I love my spyder but not BRP or Dealer.
 
I learned this deal began on June 27, ten days after I purchased. It would have been nice if the dealership would have told me this was going to be available so soon. I would have waited.
Not sure how it works in the motorcycle industry, but in the new motor vehicle industry, these marketing promotions are kept under wraps to prevent a decline of sales just prior to the promotion taking effect. Dealers are often kept in the dark just as customers. In some instances, a dealer may generally be aware a new promotional program is about to be announced, but they may not know the particular details, i.e. eligibility, models covered, etc. In other cases, they find immediately before the public announcement.

What is the $500 voucher program (towards accessories) some of you are talking about? I bought 2 and half months ago.

:agree:
It is highly likely the dealer had no idea the promotion was imminent.

Ouch, you might still want to check with them being it was that close, never know may just get lucky:ohyea:
 
Is the extended warranty offer limited to buyers who finance through Can Am?

we didnt finance with them and the dealer said we have the extended warranty... BUT the funy thing is ... the paperwork we signed was for the 24 months, not 48 and no addendum.. he said that when they registered the bike, it showed up as being eligible... i asked for confirmation, he said he couldnt give me anything because they dont have anything... REALLY??!?! seriously, I am not going spend that much money and not get something in writing.. next call.. BRP.... :) i would call now but i dont have my VIN number.

no matter how crappy I think the dealer is........ I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Spyder... :) I will not allow them to take the fun away from our new bike, no matter how much they piss me off.... long story....
 
Holly, it probably registered as 24 months because the deal is 24 months BEST warranty that starts AFTER the 24 months factory warranty--- which is standard on all spyders.
