Warranty transfer

[Lacrafter]

I'm considering buying a 2016 VLX  from a private party. Is the Malibu warranty fully transferable 

[northgacable]

Yes but be ready for the usual Bust Out Another Thousand. 

$500 to Malibu

$200 to Indmar

$350 for dealer to do compression test and whatever else is needed for approval of transfer. 

I learned about this after I signed the papers.....

Especially considering the warranty is five years now.  Get it transferred.

$750 to Malibu. Price went up with the 5 year warranty.

I would strongly recommend doing the warranty transfer. I transferred the warranty and that spring the touch screen pooped out ($2500)! Oz of prevention worth a lb of cure!

Tough pill to swallow, I rolled the dice on mine since it only had a year left - in my case saving the nearly $1000 was the right choice.  With all of the huge screens and problems that some people are having in the newer boats I don't think I'd take the risk.
