I have found a 2013 Can-Am Spyder ST Limited SE5 with 5,900 miles on it. They are selling it for $13,500. Thanks for your help :)

I think that we just saw a dealer that had a couple of left over STLs for $9999.00 brand new.
Offer 10k and see what happens. Also check to see if the recall heat panels were put in. This would be a free service but can be a pain if the dealer is not close by.
I paid 12,700 for a 13 with less miles. That was 8 months ago.

2013 wasn't the best year of the STs... They had serious heat problems, that could even melt some of the underbody components. :yikes:
If ALL of the heat attenuation procedures have been completed on it: try offering them 10K. We've heard reports of new leftovers at that price.
Happy Hunting! :thumbup:
This process is exhausting :shocked:. But thanks you all for the advice. This one is at a dealer so I'm sure they won't come down on price. I will keep looking.
I would not be to sure on that. Spyders are a nitch market and can sit unsold for awhile. If they want to move it they will sale at reasonable offer. Don't over pay, there will be others that come up for sale. Remember when you make offer always say "out the door". Dealers can start tagging on all sorts of fees.Quote:

Consider this .................. neither of the above Spyders are being made anymore !!!! ....... The V-twin had a great run, but the 1330 Ace and the changes to the transmission had BRP rethinking the viability of continuing those models......... and they decided they wouldn't .......

Its a now a great ride.
There good deals available...
kbb retail price is $15,200 for the LTD. It sounds like a pretty good deal based on kbb.
If it is NOT a limited, the price would be $12,900. Regardless, you should start your negotiations about $2K lower than book. These days, there appears to be a $4K margin for the dealer built into every trade in price.
No idea if it is good. But I picked up one in November for my wife, a 2013 SR-S SE5 with 1400 miles on it for $9K.

It came with the backrest, Givi top case and comfort seat, along with the stock seat.
NADA low retail is $9150. I would not pay a dime over that. This unit is used and four years old with all the heat problems. I had one and was glad to get rid of it!Quote:

The prospective buyer should be doing the homework so that he comes up with a price that he thinks is "fair." :thumbup:Quote:

It's got a sporty look to it yet has a good seating position with cruise and a radio. The 1330 might be better but the 990 is very reliable with decent power. It's much better looking than the F3 chassis
I agree with ARCTIC, I have a '13 STS SE5 and I am very happy with it! I rode a F3S at a DEMO Day ride and did not like the foot position. For me with short legs, bad knees, and 2 new hips the foot forward just was not good for me, the STS is a perfect fit. I had the 2014 ST air intake panels installed to correct heat issues. I did have the BAJA-Ron sway bar and billet links installed, which fixed handling issues, since I ride solo all the time I do not see any need to change front shocks.
Which ever Spyder you choose, may you enjoy it and ride safe!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:
Yeah. Don't try to sell in here. You will get people trying to low ball you so bad your head will spin. I too have my 13 STS SM5 up for sale. Two years of riding it and I am just not feeling it. So it sits parked until it is sold. I have it on a tender and fuel is stabilized. I will be changing out the oil once it warms up a bit.Quote:

It is my first spyder but I have never had any issues with heat or steering problems. Maybe I got one that was built on a Tuesday, not a Monday or Friday. LoL
I wasn't happy with the F3 riding position either.Quote:

As far as the heat issue is concerned, with the 2014 free panels offered by BRP under warranty, there is no such issues. ( sorry Bob, but nothing is melting under there)....!!!! 😂
AND, my full face helmet fits in the frunk.... how can say so ???;) :D :yikes: :yes::ohyea:
