Do the costs of the B.E.S.T. warranty vary from dealer to dealer? what costs are typical?

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.

The prices for extended warranty do vary from dealer to dealer. $700 ballpark seems to be lowball. You can shop around by phone. Berts Mega Mall (an advertiser is one). You do not have to buy the extended at the time of sale. You must buy the BEST before the original warranty expires though.
All add ons for toys carry a large margin. Some dealers are more "greedy" than others.

Just like Ann, I bought my BEST extended warranty from Sierra Cycles in Arizona. I paid $670.00 for 36 months. Remember, you don't have to buy it when you buy your Spyder. You do have to buy it before your original warranty expires and you can buy it from any Can Am dealer. I bought mine over the phone (my Spyder, too).

That was an aftermarket warranty and most are not worth the paper written on. Many dealers will not even deal with these shisters. Leave it to the owner to attempt reimbursement after the fact. I would not touch one of these scams.

I posted this in another thread on extended warranties but suppose you missed it....
I will come in on the Yes side. Been there, done that, BRP covered the $11k cost of a complete new engine assembly when mine blew coming home from a long trip last fall. BRP was actually very good to deal with but I will say, MUCH of the outcome has to do with your dealer and how well they know the bike and BRP's systems. How to report claims, how to work the parts system, and communication with several different departments in BRP that are not real good at speaking with each other.
In my case, there was never really any intent on BRPs part to deny the claim, trouble was there were no 2015 Rotax 1330 SE engines in the parts system. And no 2016s either which were the only superseded part number. Neither the dealer nor I wanted to attempt ordering sufficient parts to build a new engine from what we had left of my old one....starting with a new case. Phone calls to parts and engineering support for service resulted in the answer that yes, a brand new 2019 engine assembly will indeed work fine in a 2015 bike. They placed the order and had the crate in hand in less than a week. Total repair bill was over $11k. More than the bike was worth but they fixed it. Bike is running great with its new 2019 drive train. BRP BEST warranty was actually pretty easy to deal with. They even paid the entire tow bill which was far more than the $200 limit on the roadside assistance. Heck of a way to get new plugs, filters and other items I was due for at that time for free.....
Avoid ALL aftermarket extended warranties. They simply do not handle claims in the same straightforward manner that the dealer processes standard warranty claims.

you can tell your dealer that you are finding cheaper prices on the extended warranty. They will usually match it. If they don't buy the cheaper.

My water pump started leaking on my 2015 F3. Fixed under warranty. My battery went bad on my 2017 F3T, fixed under warranty

Deanna,. I am curious if you ever used your Xtended Waurentee, and if so, on what, and was the work done from the Dealer you bought it from, or another Dealer? Thanks,

Cause was failed oil pump drive bearings. Needle bearings defect and disintegrated. Then lost oil pressure followed by catastrophic failure. Yes, the 2015 F3-S in my signature. New 2019 engine/trans assembly installed and running great. Have about 1500 miles on new engine. Odd failure, comes under the $&!t happens category....
And since you asked Deanna, My bike was purchased from Pitbull in MO (one of the very early F3s they brought to Spyderfest in 2015). BEST was purchased from Berts Mega Mall. Engine replacement was at my local servicing dealer in Houston. (Mancuso North). I do my own maintenance. None of this was any problem.
