The prices I got from Polaris was $1100 for 2 year, $1350 for 3 year $1500 for 4 year and $1800 for 5 year. Keep in mind thats 2,3, 4, or 5 years from date of purchase of the sled. so the 2 year only adds an extra year of warranty.


How ever my local dealer sold me the the 3 year for $750 on my 2011. That was one day before my original 1 year was up. Just don't want to take chances now that I'm hearing people having issues.

$750 is reasonable. but thats crazy that we have to pay for a year of warranty that we already have.
 
Retail on the warranties are as follows. Keep in mind the price depends on engine size, these are for 601-900cc (800s)

24 mo - $1100
36 mo - $1270
48 mo - $1500
60 mo - $1740

I tell m y customers to buy it towards the end of their factory warranty otherwise they run concurrent to each other and you are not getting the full value.

When I purchased mine they told me that if I wanted two years I had to purchase the 3 year warranty. It doesn't matter when you purchase the extended warranty, when you buy the sled or just before the factory warranty is over. The extended warranty starts from date you purchased the sled. So the 24 month warranty is really only a 12 month extension.


I wasn't thrilled about buying the 3 year extended warranty and only getting the remaining 2 years. However $750 is reasonable and with several 2011's burning down this year I figure $750 to ride it for the next two years and not have to worry about footing the bill if it burns down, injectors go bad, stator goes out, coils and wires need replaced, and everything else that could go wrong with the motor is worth it to me. However if I was paying retail I probably wouldn't have bought it.

why call it a 24 month if its only a year, to me your getting screwed. why do i have to pay for a year of warranty that came with the sled when i bought it new? its faulse advertising and its not right. that really pisses me off to be honest, i would rather them just call it a 1 year.

agreed 100%...BTW when the dealer was quoting me pricing he said for an extra 2 years its $750. However the paper work reflected a 36 month....12 month original factory - 24 month extended. just as a side note. I knew I was only paying for 2 extra year, but was thrown off by the paper work when it showed 36 months. I had to verify with him that I was only getting an extra 24 months.

I can buy parts off eBay to fix my sled for those prices.

Are these prices for bumper to bumper or just engine,and is it a Polaris warranty?

From my understanding its an extension of the original warranty so anything that would have been covered under the 1 year factory warranty would be covered under this warranty. It is from Polaris, called their PolarisStar warranty. It might be something they get from a third party I'm not sure but its purchased through Polaris. The only difference I can tell between it and the factory warranty is there is a $50 deductible.
