![]() You pay a little more than the average repair, but in the event of catastrophic repair, you still only pay a little above average. What you get from insurance, and extended warranties, is reduced variance in exchange for lost value. This has to happen by definition, as the companies that sell them to you make money on the deal. In statistical terms, that means that you will always spend more on insurance than repairs on average. If I lived in FL, I bet I'd be seeing over 150/hours per year, and then I'd be spending $1/hr for the peace of mind of the extended warranty. Keep in mind that the forum users here are not average in sniffing out good deals, nor in the number of hours they ride. Now we are only adding $3/hour to avoid an expensive repair not covered in a recall. Now imagine, for argument, that a "competitive" price on the warranty might be closer to $150/year. I'll have no problems hitting 50 hours on each this year. ![]() We're half way into the season, and I am over 20 hours on my spark that didn't die a couple weeks ago, and over 15 on the one that did. I live in NH, where we get riding season for about 4 months. im on that board too I've rebuit my scooter, including a lot of electronic things so I'd do what I had to in order to figure out fixing my ski, I'm just worried about something going wrong with a part that is thousands. RUNIT - thanks for the info about the good prices over at greenhulk. Maybe in places that don't have summer year round but I agree with what you are saying SARGE - 25hrs a year is average? I could do that in a couple of weeks. I was saying something about how I need to get around to putting a new starter into my scooter and my sales guy tried to sell me a new scooter. Didn't know there were that many options. Oh well, interesting to know you can buy 2, 4, 6, 7 yr warranties. I really don't want to deal with them after that.Īt this point I'm so fed up with them that I'd rather rebuild the engine myself (lmao) than extend the warranty and have anything to do with them past this first service appointment and first year warranty but at the same time I know I'll be kicking myself if major s**t hits the fan and I didn't get it. When I bought my Spark I prepaid for my first 50 mile service appointment / pick up and delivery and will be having the handle bars recall taken care of then too. Florida is one of them and I could report them. I called Visa and I later learned that there are 11 states that can't charge a fee for using a credit card just because the credit card companies charge them. My friend said they can't charge a credit card fee. However Shipping From Dealer To My Marina For The First Time Was Free These were my fees in addition to tax / registration / title fees.Īssembly (It came assembled, it was a floor model, and the last Spark, that's why I had to get it fully loaded, when I questioned this fee they said " uhhh we had to further assemble things " Let me tell you just how crappy they are. The other one is 30 miles north of my Marina. There is only one dealership in the Miami area and its the one I bought my ski from. than I felt I should have been and it was pretty much " take it or leave it, there are literally people behind you in line that want the last spark in Miami until November when the 2015's come out. I was rubbed the wrong way from the beginning by being charged a little over $1,000 more in dealership fees, surcharges, etc. Its a big decision but I have until June 1st to make it.Īnyone else wrestling with " extended warranty " or " no extended warranty" decision ? Hopefully it wouldn't be something huge that breaks. If I don't get the extended warranty and things break I can fix it myself at the Marina and if I can't there is a mechanic on site where I could have the work done right there. (So $210 each time I have to go to the dealer ) Oh well, still far cheaper than buying a vehicle that I wouldn't need other than for transporting the jetski Extending the warranty would also mean I can't do any mods like the valve shut off one for if it needs to be towed. On top of the fact its $150 shipping each time I have to do into the dealership + $60 Marina fees to load and unload from the shipping trailer. ![]() Also I don't want to deal with the hassle of them saying I'm not giving enough proof of maintenance if I do my own work or making up some reason to not cover me like the bad luck I had with my car warranty. I asked BRP and they said if I got it and there were any drive shaft problems since the impeller is related to the drive shaft it will not be covered. I want to get a better (Solas impeller) when mine is done. If you break it down to about $250 a yr for extended warranty that's about $5 a week or $20 a month. It sounds like its $250 per year if you go by the price pattern they gave you Poedic.
