Extended warranty

[yamaha1973]

Hey guys,

I have just purchased a new 2011 Apex. I live in Canada, and OUR cost for the additional 2 year Y.E.S warranty is 1000.00$.......I know, were gettin' screwed. My question to all my fellow American sledders is this. If you had to pay our Canadian price (1000$), would you have still bought the extended warranty?

I am not sure what to do. I can however tell you that if it only costs me 500.00$, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

Comments please .....

why not call a dealer in america and buy it??? i bought mine over the phone.. and have had 4 different dealers do warranty work on my sled. so you dont have to take it to the dealer you purchased the warranty from..

its not valid across the border

Okay. My sled is a year old. I passed up getting the $1000 extended warranty. I am sure that is a smart move as it will almost pay for two years insurance and plates. These sleds are well built and for $1000 I can probably get most things fixed. My only issue is the 1. Year Warranty. We only use sleds 4 to 6 months a year so a one year warranty is not right. It should be based on milage to be fair. Just my thoughts and sort of rant.

I just wanna know where you live to get 4-6 months sledding. And yes I bought the yes warranty and haven't had the need to use it.

I live in Northern Saskatchewan. Right now there are fields that are just rideable and I have seen tracks in the ditches. Last year rode into early April. So Nov to April is 6 months. Usually at least 4 months of riding.

That's what I would do! And I wonder if there is some difference in trade between Canada and Japan compared to the US and Japan. I just never understand why you guys have to pay so much more for everything Yamaha.
