Re: Do I need a warranty?
well 50 percent of auto ext warranty cost is profit for the seller so a 800 dollar warr is really a 400 dollar warr ,what do you get for 400, a false sense of security ,jet ski warr is probably the same thing, get one that says no fault dont care why ,etc the saving clause on the warranty is ,will not cover water ingestion or abuse ,thats what breaks everything abuse and water ingestion, take the 800 and place it in a savings acct when you need something fixed take out some money, at least you will get your money's worth.the only warranty that has impressed me was free, from S B T, I purchased a crank it had a 90 day warr, they extended the warr to 12 months free gift,just before the ext warr ran out the crank dropped a berring, it was due to a faulty oil pump not the fault of sbt. they let me apply the price of the crank toward a rebuilt engine, they certainly did not have any obligation to do that, but they did. I put in the new engine and after the break in i notice it has a problem getting over 6200 rpm, runs ok otherwise, I notice oil has been leaking from the rave valves, i look and notice both raves are broken where the bellows connects so the raves were not working, I call sbt they replace everything not just the broken part, free without any problem, awsome if you ask me, they own that engine for 12 months and as i wear them out, 7 in the last 12 months that makes me really comfortable.so whats the saying about the best warrainies in life are free LOL. save your money
