Truth or lie????

[ARtraveler]

Some great info and insight in this thread.

Here's a question....my dealer offered me a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty, transferrable if I sell early, dealer agnostic (good at any dealer) for right around 1k. It felt like a no-brainer and I purchased it. Would that be an actual good deal warranty, if there is such a thing?

A pretty good warranty for 1K. One major repair could eat up your original cost for the package. Do you mind mentioning what warranty company?

:agree: As long as it's good at any dealership...

Thanks to Doc for the conversation ....you set my mind at ease
thanks for all the responses I am going to a different dealer sat and if they try the same &$@)I am going to tell them to stick it! My husband told be they were full of it and you all confirmed it. Trouble is I am hearing the I told you song!
I will give him this one thanks again guys

It would be damn funny if you printed this thread and showed it to the dealer :roflblack:

Dealer is telling me I need a maintenance agreement.....I don't like the fact that they push them so much. Seems to me there is a good reason why.
also told me that the 2014 RS has to have oil changes at the dealership due to needing to be hooked up to BUDS. If you do the oil change yourself it will go into limp mode and won't go past 1st gear?? Is that true?
BUDS is needed to reset it after oil change???

i am going to the dealer to hopefully purchase on sat ???there is too much stuff with these trikes that makes the process more complex.

do I need an extended warranty?? I am not financing through them so they are not happy.....my finance company will not finance warranties or maintenance agreements and I do not have thousands more to put down on the Spyder.

all chime in please I need some advice!!

OIL CHANGE in the 2014 RS Operator's Guide on page 103 and the next few pages are instructions for the owner to change the oil and filters. I think it's a good for the dealer to do the first 600 mile maintenance. As for the extended warranty you can get that later, anytime before the 2 year warranty runs out. That gives you time to save up the money and call other dealers to get the best price and YES the extended warranty is worth it. I have a 2011 RS-S SE5 I see you live in Ga. so do I and if you want me to show you how to change oil send me a PM.. also BajaRon sells oil change kits at very good price. That's IMHO.

Sounds like the BEST warranty. 3 years with a $50 deductible per occurance. Factory is 2 years + the 3 BEST = 5 years.
If this is what you have I had purchased that last year for $699.00.

Sorry, forgot to mention it's a $25 deductible. I'll have to check if it's the BEST

If you look at the CanAm website there is only one platinum rated dealership in Georgia. Drive to Cartersville, or deal with that BS every time you go to your dealer.
I live 1 mile from a dealer that I would not go back to to buy an accessory let alone a Spyder.

-My error a second dealership is now Platinum rated in the past 6 months.

They are currently offering 3 years on 2013 and 2014's for free (2 years standard plus one free year of BEST extended warranty). The rebate is just for 13's however. So if you wanted an extended warranty for say up to 5 years, you can purchase 2 more years of BEST warranty. I would call Pitbull or Burts Mega Mall as they offer the best prices on BEST warranties. It does not have to be purchased from the dealer you bought it from.

I didn't read the fine print. I now see the BEST warranty applies to 2013 & 2014 models

So excited!

Well took your advice and ran as far away from that dealer as I could! Got a great deal on a 2013 STS at extreme propulsion in Carterville. I pick her up next Sat and I can' t wait. I am a bit nervous about the ride home ...about 100 miles...but I am going for it.

Good for you.

There has been some traffic on this site about Mountain Motorsports in Conyers as far as turnover the year and lack of interest in Spyder products. For this reason I sought out other dealers for some recent work on both mine and my wife's RT's.

However, we both have prepaid maintenance agreements with service intervals remaining so I decided to visit the more convenient Conyers location last week to make an appointment and see what's up with the new staffers.

I met with Missy Schmeder the new service manager and Kevin Calderhead their new Master Technician with accredited Can Am experience. Seems things are looking up there on the service front. Missy comes from Nashville where she worked several year at a dealership there and is very familiar with Spyders and the Rotax engines.

I made an appointment for later this month and will provide feedback on this site as I feel warranted.

:congrats: :2thumbs: Just take your time getting back home; don't push beyond whatever comfort level you establish, and relax... The fun is JUST beginning!! :thumbup:

 

[ARtraveler]

:congrats: on your new purchase. Glad the site offered you some help with your questions.

Enjoy your ryde home and like Bob said, just take it easy and enjoy. I would also add, put the first 10 miles or so on the odo within close distance of the dealer. If you find a glitch, your close to help.
