Should I get an Extended Warranty?

[bdspyder]

With all the little quirks and problems people have experienced since I've been on this forum, I was thinking about getting a 3 year extended warranty. My local dealer has it for 697.00 spread out over 8 payments no interest. I think it might be a good thing with the spyder being a new design.
What does everybody think. :chat:

:agree: My wife and I both got the BRP Best Plus 3 year warranty. It gives five years of warranty total, the standard two years plus the Best Plus three years.

Maybe compare prices with National Dealers Warranty or even your own insurance company sometimes...Warranty is a business now, check around and get some haggle leverage. If you plan on keeping it, based on all the problems Spyders are having, I would say YES!

I think you do have 2 years to get the extended I think.

That's true but the price may go up so I would get it now. Sounds like a fair price!

Both the BEST and BEST Plus also include road service for the entire period plus the warranty period. Other dealer offered plans may not include this.

I bought the BRP BEST warranty (we will see if that s Hyperbole) at time of purchase to lock in price. Price is VVVVerrry negotiable...especially in the middle of Jan.
Scotty s right... takes u to five years and also covers roadside assistance for the five yrs. If u buy it with the bike u actually get roadside assist. for the first two yrs its under the BRP std. warrenty. Roadside assist has like a $50. deductable.

Would only go with BRP deal as numerous third party dealer warrenties have high mark up, and may be underwritten by somone or something that isn t here anymore (AIG) etc. much less five years from now. And yes they are transferable, a selling point for the next buyer of ur bike.

Still to get extended warranty...IMHO, it's a must!

 

[ataDude]

Yes, get it! And that price is pretty good!

Look at the price of just one or two of the components on this machine and the $697 will look like a bargain. Many of us paid $800 - $1,000 for the three year extension. BRP BEST is honored by dealers nationwide while private policies may require you to pay and submit costs for reimbursement. Yes you can wait and sign up any time during the two year standard warranty period, but you give up roadside service until you do.

With a relatively new vehicle like this I think it is a good idea to cover yourself and get the BEST coverage. I got it.

Hummm .... brand new one of a kind first year super complicated multi computer machine with known quirks and cost a ton of $$$ to fix .... should an extended warrenty be considered????

What's 1 + 1 again????

once I decide if it's a keeper I'm gone to go for it but if it's down for weeks at a time while there waiting for parts or trying to figure it out doring prime riding season it will be a gonner but man when it's running I can't get off the thing the only good that came out of last season when it was down was I managed to put 7000 on H-D also so it wouldn't get any abandonment issues :spyder2:

Hey Ldfireworks
Saw your close to me and the dealer i'm going through is Seminole Power Sports in Sanford. Ask for Chuck. Just in case you don't get a good price from the dealer around you.
We'll have to ride together sometime since we're so close. :thumbup:
