Re: It's always something
Hello, Sorry to hear you have had such an expensive year. Husband and I are in the process of buying our first RV - Class A Itasca Sunova 2005. Husband wants to buy the extended warranty the dealership is trying to push, at a cost of $4,300 Canadian, for 4 years of coverage. They are also saying if we get our financing through them instead of our credit union they will knock off 500 dollars from the cost of warranty. Staying with our own financing though. Husband wants to get the extended warranty and I am leaning towards not wanting to. Your post here tells me the warranty is most likely not worth the money,because your $10,000 expenses for one year is only covered by warranty for $ 2,000 of it. The dealership is doing the inspection right now (RVDA Canada certified) and I am thinking we should trust this but husband thinks we should hire a mechanic at a cost of probably $ 500. We are new to RVíng and we are not mechanically inclined. My guess would be that you would not advocate buying a warranty that is only good for 4 yrs, at a cost of $4,300 ? ( That coverage cost is for the drive train and coach)393Views0likes0CommentsRe: Re purchasing a warranty & how many km's is too many ?
Re the $4300 warranty - it is for four years. The dealership is pushing for us to do our financing through them ( we have been approved by our credit union) and if we did finance through them they would knock $500 off the price of the warranty. They just want their commission. I saw mention of the dealership we are using on a post on this forum, where someone said they use the RVDA certification system for inspection. http://www.rvda.ca/default.asp?action=preowned_public My husband was wondering if we need to hire a mechanic to inspect the vehicle. I think we should be able to trust the inspection done at the dealership (rvda). The dealership already put all new Michelin tires on the motor home before we ever saw it.543Views0likes0CommentsRe purchasing a warranty & how many km's is too many ?
Husband and I are in the process of buying a Winnebago Itasca Sunova 2005 Class A motor home. Ford V10. Has 97,000 km. Husband is thinking of buying warranty to cover the coach and the drive train but it costs $4,300 Canadian.Good idea to buy the warranty or not ? The dealership will be doing a thorough inspection. The km's are 97,000 - Is that too many km's ? Thanks for any feedback2.3KViews0likes14Comments
