I recently purchased a 3 year warranty for the old raptor. It is really a shame that I was basically forced to purchase it. I have been reading too many horror stories of this 2nd gear fiasco and the list goes on. If knew I would have needed to purchase this warranty I would have never bought the damn thing. So far I havent had any problems but I might add I only ride maybe once every two weeks. I know the warranty does not cover the carb boots if they split and the clutch is also not covered. I basically got it for the tranny. I paid 752 greenbacks for this plan for a three year coverage. Now when you see a disgruntled Raptor owner slapping his gears around LA Dunes in Louisiana you will know why.

 

Sorry you feel ripped off. I bot the 3 yr warr on my raptor, even though I hadn't heard of any probs at the time. Reason? Any newly released product has a higher # of repair issues than a mature product, whether it is a car, trk, atv, boat, etc. If I want cutting edge technology/performance, I gotta put up with the downside of the learning curve.

 

i hate to make you feel even worse, but i only paid $450.00 for mine at the time of purchase.

 

Extended warranty is a good investment even if it only covers the engine and driveline, etc because these are the high dollar items if repair is needed. At least, it gives you a peace of mind.

One of the main reason to buy one is the resale value. If you can say that it still has coverage, a potential buyer is more likely to to purchase from you than someone who has no coverage.

I think you did the right thing.

 

I was quoted a price of $630. Pretty wide range of prices here.

 

I paid $630 for my 3 year warranty also. I bought my Raptor with 1 or 2 hours on it (one month old), and bought the three year warranty after hearing about the transmission issues. It hurt to pay for, but the feeling of relief when I walked out the door of the dealer made it worth every penny.

Good luck,
Lorrin

 

I can check my receipt, but I'm pretty sure I paid $350 for mine (yes, it's the three year warranty). It's already paid for itself (I bent a couple of a-arms on my bike and the dealer replaced them at no cost). One thing to keep in mind though - As much as I hate to say it, your warranty is only as good as the relationship you have with your dealer.

 

I paid 350 for mine also. Here's the deal......Dealer cost is $300 for the 3 year extended warranty, but you didn't hear that from me.

 

Is there difference in price whether you buy the extended warranty at point of purchase or later on or on used quads?

 

buy it when buying quad, you have more negotiating power.
