Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed

[broderp]

My 2 cents.... I bought an extended 4 year warranty from the dealer for about $350 Normally I don't do this, but I'm getting older and the back and knees don't like me working on vehicles so much any more.

I also bought it as I am not 100% sold on Can-am quality, specifically in the areas of electrical circuits, harness's and wiring. Mechanically I "believe" the Rotax engine is solid, but have no experience with them.

I'm appalled at the amount of RUST I see in all the video's I see. Maybe it's not common, but there is more rust/ corrosion/ dirt on some Spyder's than on my 20 year old Toyota... :shocked: Although warranty will likely not cover this sort of "damage".

For these reasons, I bought a warranty.

Absolutely correct - NOT BRP. I will need to look up the name and confirm the price on my purchase order. I am not a fan of extended warranties, but as I mentioned in my previous post (I'm getting old - lol) I researched this company and rather than ask what's covered, I asked what wasn't covered. Given the circumstance I felt comfortable enough to drop the cash on the warranty. It's basically a bumper-to-bumper extended warranty for 4 years, but the first two run concurrently with the OEM.

So really, it's a two-year warranty with a few things above and beyond the factory one. Peace of mind for 4 years.

I thought the BRP warranty was too pricey for what it cost.
