Whats a fair price for an extended warranty for the Rancher or Rubicon.

 

the cheapest I found it was for 429.00 if someone who reads this post has a cheaper price PLEASE post it and the name and location of the business. I guess a phone number would be nice to. Thanks, lets try to save fellow honda owners some money.

 

I bought the extended warranty a year ago and Honda was giving $100 rebate/off the price in February maybe their doing it again?

 

I seems rather odd to spend more for a Honda and then add the additional expense for an extended warranty. I mean after all, "it's a Honda." They aren't supposed to break down are they?

Pardon my attitude and fun with what others say about Honda ATVs. I own a TRX300 myself. Still, I saw no reason to get the extended warranty for my Kawasaki Bayou when I purchased it new back in 1997. Extended warranties are big money makers for both dealers and the manufacturer which is why you often see such a push to sell them. However, while I would probably never purchase such a warranty, I would also never buy an ATV for which the manufacturer (and not the dealer) did not offer one. This should be a red flag to the buyer that the manufacturer does not believe that their product will be likely to remain problem free after the original warranty period.

However, it might be a worthwhile purchase for first-year models like the Rubicon and it's new tranmission design. Still, my decision would probably be to wait a year or two before buying one and make the purchase later (without the extended warranty) once it has a proven track record.

Oh and by the way, my Bayou has yet to fail me or spent a day in the shop.
