B.E.S.T. Extended Service: Warranty & Maintenance | Sea-Doo Canada | Sea-Doo Canada
Like car dealers, having a good dealer that is willing to go to bat for you is important. I know your in the Sunshine State and I don't know anything of the workings down there. But IMO they are putting the screws to you. Is the dealer far from you? The closest dealer (18 miles) to us will pick-up/deliver the ski for free. I was first working with them on getting 2 ski's, but they only had one in stock. My dealer is just as good, but I have to take and pick-up from them. They are about 43 miles away. As for the extended warranty, we got 4 year extended warranties for each ski for $400. I'm getting a new sled (snowmobile) this coming season and it will be from either one of them, just because of the great service.Geeze. I wonder how much the 7 year one is. Probably $1,750. It sounds like its $250 per year if you go by the price pattern they gave you Poedic. but...
If you break it down to about $250 a yr for extended warranty that's about $5 a week or $20 a month.
I want to get a better (Solas impeller) when mine is done. 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. 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. 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. (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 jetskiExtending the warranty would also mean I can't do any mods like the valve shut off one for if it needs to be towed.
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. Hopefully it wouldn't be something huge that breaks.
Its a big decision but I have until June 1st to make it.
Anyone else wrestling with " extended warranty " or " no extended warranty" decision ?
Over the Years I think the "Average" amount of hours people use a Jet Ski is about 25? Do you really want to pay $250 a Year which is about $10 extra every hour the "Average" Person uses the ski? If a Recall or Bulletin is issued for the ski it is fixed regardless of warranty and the 900 engine is a Proven engine! They will gladly take your $$$ BUT make sure your Extended warranty is "Registered " with BRP a few weeks after you purchase it because there are greedy people in this world?Geeze. I wonder how much the 7 year one is. Probably $1,750. It sounds like its $250 per year if you go by the price pattern they gave you Poedic. but...

That's a good move, with these new products you never know what could go wrong especially since they're part of the first year production cycle. Plus if you decide to sell later on it will make your listing look much more attractive.I'm getting the extended warranty... Get it from tiny from greenhulk, I got the VTEC first instead of the extended warranty... I knew I could get it before the warranty expires.
Straightbanging... you don't have to take it to the same dealership for warrantees you go to another dealership
I Soon as I have some more money my credit card I'm buying it
I’m getting the extended warranty mostly because the Spark has had several problems and recalls already and 2014 is not even over yet!! Lol I had a 18ft boat at one time, and boat stands for Bring Out Another Thousand. Fixing or repairing any type of marine vessel, being boat, PWC or whatever is very expensive. The plan is 1 yr extension=$298 and $100 bucks for each additional year after that. So If I get an extension up to 2018 which is 3 years past the original warranty, it will cost me $498 bucks. And with only a $50 deductable, for myself, it’s seems like a no brainer. Because correct me if I’m wrong, but if you decide to get the extended warranty after the factory warranty runs out, you’re going to pay allot more for those additional years of warranty coverage, right? One costly repair and it will pay for itself. Up to you, but I’ve heard of a lot of bad stories when it comes to repairing PWC’s.
