Hi All:
Just yesterday I took the bait and bought a new silver Burgman 400. It was a "fair" deal, I'd guess; after all, the poor starving sales guy needed at least one sale yet this year. He even delivered it to my place in the country 89 miles, by riding it... which initiated its "break-in".
But... before I rolled it out the door, the dealership sub-manager did his best to sell me their 3 yr maintenance contract.... all required/scheduled maintenance plus two sets of new tires (afte 12 months and 24 months).
I asked how much the 1st 600 mile service would run and was "guesstimated" a figure of about $299, which sounds pretty high to me.
Their contract price? $465/yr for three years, or a total of $1395. That would equal $38.75/month.
I declined it... but can still "sign up" before the first scheduled service.
So... I'm wondering if it's at all reasonable.
Any comments??
