The factory warranty should start from the day you purchase a product regardless of who you get it from-as long as it's from an authorized dealer.

Kooks will charge you full retail if you buy from them. Basically, manufacturers have dealers to handle customers for them. So basically, the manufactuer sells at full retail, but the dealer can offer a discount. Then the dealer handles most of the sales and customer support, and manufactuer only has to service the dealers accounts.

Either way, we are one of, if not Kooks biggest dealer. Call us @ 443-730-9428 and we can take car of you!

Buy used and use the saved money for something else especially since they aren't going to be rusted. Warranty? Why do you need the warranty anyway, what's going to happen to them
