Here it is...I'm looking at getting a '05 predator TLD but the polaris promotion only gives the '06 models the 3 yr extended warranty, so this '05 which is brand new will not come with the warranty. I want the '05 because the orange plastic is my favorite color so i am partial to that one. So my question is the orange plastic worth not getting the extended warranty? The '05 and '06 are the same price, oddly enough. Does Polaris come with a standard factory warranty? If so, how long is it?

 

6 month factory warranty, im sure you could talk your dealer into something like the 3 year warranty

 

Here's the kicker though. They did not have the '05 in stock and they are willing to go to another dealer and buy it from them to sell to me. So i'm sure that will be a factor in the price of the '05. They do have an '06 in stock so I might be able to talk them down more on the '06 than the '05. In my opinion the '05 should not be the same price as the '06 because it is 1 year old already eventhough it is still new. The asking price between the 2 bikes are the same.

 

Just a thought you could always get the 06 with the warrenty and then buy up some 05 orange plastics if you ever want that

 

No doubt!.......The 05 should be less than an 06 even if they do have to get it from another dealer. If they can't, maybe you should go to another dealer.

 

talk him down on the 05' and just buy the extended warrenty with the money you talked him down on

 

The reason there the same price is because they don't have a 05. They raise the price hopeing you will buy there 06 that is in there stock. If they have to go out a get a 05 from another dealer, there not going to do it for free. It takes time and effort to do this. So they will make it seem better for you to get the 06. I like the orange to, but the warrenty is worth more then any color plastic, plus it's newer. Then if orange is what you really want, ask for a 20% off parts and buy a set. It's less the $300. Go with the 06.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yep, what GE said. Get yourself the '06 and then begin the hunt for orange plastic. I might even know a place or 2 that has a set for sale.

Even if you don't get the orange right away, get some mileage out of the stock and then start looking...

 

i want orange plastics too. i think im going to get the 1 peice full bore set

 

yeah...GE hit it on the dot for sure.
