Does having a warranty really help sell a sled?

[Boston Racing]

I snow checked a 13 and am torn on the 4 year warranty. It basically is costing 450 cash for the additional 2 years. I wont own the sled four years so it will really only matter to a buyer. Would you pay a little extra for a sled still under power train warranty?

I think a remaining Warranty is very attractive on a used sled, especially a 2 stroke. The resale would be higher on the sled with a remaining warranty.

IMO, yes.... I would be more interested in a used sled with an engine warranty than one that didn't.

Yes it is very important especially on a mountain sled. I will not buy a used newer sled without a warranty, too expensive to fix when a motor goes down.

Refer to the Polaris engine threads.

 

[Yamahog]

YES

Considering sleds with the more bullet-proof 600 engines, the 2 year and $600 in accessories is the more attractive offer - for some of us anyways.

If I was keeping it I would do the 2 year. I will probably keep in for 2 then sell. I think the 4 year is the ticket though.If it makes it easier to sell I guess I just take the 450 dollar gamble.

If selling a used Pro you will get MORE money with a longer warranty. Hands down.

If you actually read the four year wty, its hardly worth the paper it is printed on. Ask your dealer for a copy of it and enjoy. Get the 2yr and save some money. A buyer can always add it at a later date.

id do 2 too.heck its only gunna be worth 4 or 5k anyway after you ride it 2 years

My dealer says he will allow more trade-in value if there is still warranty left.

 

[m1kflyingtiger]

There's no warantee after you've had two years of boost in it....

I'm not gonna turbo this one. Gonna go lightweight. We have other ones that are turbo'd

ask your dealer about the aftermarket warranties. I hear they are way better than the Polaris version. Dealers get approved quicker for most all claims with out any hassle.

I came on the Poo side for the first time to ask this same thing!
Getting a Pro 800 for me, and am thinking of getting a 600 for the wifey. But need to decide on warranties. The 2yr with $600 back makes it easier to swallow buying the wife a new sled that will rarely get ridden. (A backup for me realistically.)
I talked to a bud today who kinda explained that the warranties are limited, based on the value of the sled and that after a while, you can run out of coverage. (He is $1300 away from no warranty on his Dragon, even though he has time left.)
So with the 600 engine, seems like 2 yr would be the way to go? Cannot decide on the 800. Need to talk to dealer I guess, to get the specifics.
