ROCKETBOY you are incorrect buddy, all thats done is look up the vin on the dealer site then request a transfer, fill in info and poof your done. Depending on pc speed no more than 1.5 minutes; a week or so later the new owner gets a card in mail, did one on a atv last week.

I just went through this & this was not the experience that I had. It wasn't as easy as click,click, click with the mouse. I was told the only way to do it is to mail in this transfer form signed by both parties w/ a $25 check & a bill of sale & the service records.

For a ECS transfer this is true, for owner transfer on the Polaris site click and it's done. ECS company needs paper work in hand for it to be complete
Just a heads up as I am the service advisor for a dealership. I just spent a month screwing around with extended warranty. The Polaris extended warranty that is through Assurant Solutions in non transferable. This is straight from the company. if you buy a sled with the extended warranty it cannot be transfered to you. You have to buy your own extended warranty plan. When the old owner sells the sled he is supposed to get reinbursed some money and his contract cancelled.
Wow, each of the four completely different ways to maintain warranty after a sale mentioned, sound simple. Don't see how this could have possibly went wrong.
I know that there are a lot of mud slingers on here who like to just cause trouble, but I know this sled and both the current and previous owner too. It is a legitimate shiz-show on the part of the dealer for not getting the warranty transfered correctly or at least providing the correct instructions to the new owner. It sounds like these 2nd party warranty companies have all sorts of loop hole traps in place to get out of these claims. I also agree that Polaris is not directly at fault here, but I have to ask what kind of shady warranty providers are they turning their customers over to. I would guess it will eventually get ironed out, but this guy is more than likely out for the season while he waits for it. The only thing he did wrong was spend $10K on a used sled w/extended coverage and assume that a large dealership knew what they were doing. Not everyone can be a "layer" and that is why we pay extra to buy from dealers and know we are protected. Not Polaris's fault but it would certainly factor into my decision if I were looking to buy.

Sure we aren't all lawyers, but it stands to reason that one would read ALL the fine print when spending this kind of money. It creates a bargaining point sometimes. Not all salesmen have read the fine print and know what is going to be coming back at them.
And expecting honesty from a salesman, no matter how reputable, is not an intelligent thing. They make money from selling, and will not be held accountable for negligence on the part of the buyer. Hence, buyer beware.
Now would someone please PM the VIN to one of the fine folks who offered to run it so we can see what is going on?
