Is A Extended Warranty A Worthwhile Buy?

[ulflyer]

Shop around is right.....I got the Best 3 additional after the OEM 2 for less than $650 from my dealer. Goes to show you what they can be sold for! This was in 2011 of course.

They've since jumped the price; the guy selling at the above price left...............

Extended Warranty

I would recommend a warranty on these machines. I bought a used 2011 RT Limited that still had 6 months of the manufacture warranty. I was able to purchase an additional 5 year warranty for $1100 with zero deductible. The machine is now covered until 2018. I went to my local dealership. I did not shop around for pricing, I thought $1100 for 5 years was fair.

What is the name of the warranty Company? Can you share any contact information, web site, etc.

It is funny that most people are recommending the extended warranty, but not one has actually mentioned if it saved them money, but it definitely cost them money - sounds like about an extra $1000.

Of course it is a good idea, but that really shouldn't be the question. 'Is it a worthwhile investment?' is a better question.

Anyone have something covered by the extended warranty that they had an actual price to compare it to?

The cost of my exhaust pipe repair and other issue covered by my extended warranty was $760.00. This occurred only two days after my BRP warranty had expired. I paid around $800.00 for my extended warranty for three years. Had my accident one month later. I would submit that it was cost effective.

I purchased the extended warranty when I got the RS and then the RT. I guess I am one of the very few that did not benefit from either one.

I look at extended warranties as insurance. I pay a fee to the company betting them that I will need them to spend more than the warranty fee over some period of time. They take my money betting me that they won't need to give any of it back.

Investment- I don't think so.

Insurance-maybe.

Peace of mind for the next 3 years- for me yes.
