Significant price range for 3-year extended warranty.
3-year extended warranty? I realize that there are mixed views as to whether one should take out any extended warranty on a bike. This, I can understand. However, I was curious to know if anyone out there knew what would be the rhyme or reason (beyond that of profit) for 3-year extended warranty prices to be significantly different when shopped at three different H-D dealerships?
Prices for a 3-year extended warranty I've received thus far are:
$1, 264.00
$1, 400.00
$ 899.00
All of the above are for the same bike for the same amount of coverage.
I do realize that dealerships can charge what they want for essentially anything. Just wondered if anyone else out there happened upon this type of thing?

This is JUST my personal opinion...I know there are exceptions to every rule, but even Consumer's Reports magazine which has tested every consumable product made including vehicles, says that extended warranties are the greatest rip off ever perpetrated on the consumer...I agree, and have never purchased one on anything I've ever bought.

RE: Significant price range for 3-year extended warranty.
I used to feel the same way, but you see more and more stuff that used to last a looooong time havingproblems within a year or two. When we movedinto our new house 3 years ago we had all newtop of the line appliances put in.Since then we've had the service guy out FOUR times for the washer(electronics), twice for the dryer(electronics), twice refrig(electronics) and once for the dishwasher! Since all this stuff runs off electronics now and the boards in them go for big money I opted for the extended warranties. Thank god I did!IMO more and more companies producegarbage figuring they'll stick the customer with the bill of an extended warranty instead of making a quality product. My old washer and dryer were over 20 years old and still working when I gave them away. My old fridge 18 years old) is in my basement. Neither of these have EVER had a single problem! Hmmmmmmm............
