I've had my bike two months now and called the dealership today to seeif I could add GAP insurance for the loan difference. She "pulled some strings" (because it's suppposed to be sold at the point of sale date, so they know the exact condition of the bike) and said I could swing by today to make sure the bike wasn;t wrecked and add it for $599.
I agreed to come by and pay/let them inspect, but then started thinking.....
Mine's a 07 left over, they wanted $6899. I got it to $6k even, so with Icon helmet,Cortech Jacket & gloves, plus regi, fees,blah,blah..... (set-up, etc) it came to $92xx.
Bike has 800 miles on it right now......figure the blue book would be around 5k(????) right now. (factoring depreciation)
So....I'm paying $599 to protect 4 grand? doesn't seem worth it, especially when they need the $599 payment right now. Seemed I'd be better going in the hole and making a big principle payment, no?
Opinions? I already thanked her and declined to take it, so it's done.....but just curious....
