Discounted Extended Warranties

[Paw Paw Willie]

Anyone know of where to get the best price? Against law in FL to discount them.Thanks

If it's against the law in Florida, why would a company outside of Florida discount to a Florida resident?

FWIW, my Dealer, that discounts everything I buy 15% would not discount the ESP last month when I bought it.

 

[Paw Paw Willie]

Why wouldn't they? They're still making a good profit. When I got my first TG I spoke to a dealer who would discount the 7 year by $325. I don't remember but I think he was in Ill or Wis.

Try Kutter HD in Janesville WI.

 

[trikermutha]

call any dealer to get the best price..never heard that it against the law..

Even without discount, I've already gotten my money back on warranty work. And I still have almost 4 years to go. Never even occurred to me that was something to bargain about. I would still say go for it. What's the worst that happens? No discount?

Normally warranties are a waste of money. But in the case of the TG that is not true. They have many problems buy a person needs a GOOD dealer to deal with for warranty work.

I agree :10:

There are 2 states that have a law against discounting EW. FL is one, I forget the other.

A quick google turned this up.

"Florida considers Extended Warranties a form of insurance. It's pricing is regulated by the insurance commission and cannot be discounted. Further, many manufacturers will not allow dealers outside the state to sell warranties to Florida residents again due to the insurance commission regulations."

Wonder if HD is one of those manufacturers?

Just got it from Jim Palmer at Kutler HD in Janesville WI. $400 off list. with no sales tax. It pays to shop!

Hey Paw Paw Willie do you recall the full price of that Ext warranty?
Also was reading another site about extended programs and they were saying that the drive train (eng,tranny,clutch) is not covered. Are these covered by your plan?

Ride safe,

You got wrong info. EW is about the same as original warranty. MSRP cost with tire and wheel coverage is around $2250. Kutler is $1850. Willie

 

[Lizard]

Interesting....I purchased just 6 weeks ago supposedly without a discount, and it wasn't $2250. As I remember it was around $1900. I'd have to go look at the paperwork to verify.

 

[Tuccandler]

Lizard, did you get the 7 yr ext warr with the Tire and wheel coverage?
From all the posts I am reading the $1850 will more than likely be used up and then some. It might be the peace of mind I need. My only concern is the Harley Forum had a thread saying that the power train was not covered. If the Eng., Tranny and clutch are not covered then I'd say the cost is not worth the warranty.

 

[Paw Paw Willie]

I was quoted $2250 by a few dealers here in Fl. 7 yrs with tire and wheel.

 

[Lizard]

My bad, I went and checked my paperwork. I was charged $2199, which also included tire and wheel. I hesitated on the tire and wheel as it seemed somewhat silly to have tire coverage on the rear wheels which could go 40k+ miles. Ended up getting it anyway.

I must be the 1%.I understand the piece of mind the warranty gives you,but to me that was one heck of alot of money!I don't remember what the dealer quoted me back when i bought my 11,but it was over 2500.At that time i had no idea it was negotable.I just figured if i had problems with it the 2 years i had a warranty,then i would just trade it in when the warranty was up.

 

[Tuccandler]

Arnie, that's exactly what I told my dealer. Then I started reading the issues on this site and found out that 90% of them were fix under an extended program because the issues don't happen in the first 10-15K miles for the most part. It's a coin toss isn't it.
I'll wait for awhile, the TG (purchased new june13) has 2700 miles on her.
NO ISSUES YET...........
Ride Safe

Tuccandler,knock on wood,i haven't had much for problems past the 15-18000 mile mark.I did that in about 14 months.I hope to make it til next year without anything major.I just left a h-d dealer & the next 4 trikes are already sold!The dealer i was at yesterday has sold two,& i think the next 3 or 4 of his are sold.The dealer told me today that H-D is running 4 to 6 wks behind,but he had no clue as to why.
