Price now reduced to $16,500.00. The Spyder is perfect, located in south MS, and would consider delivery. More details in posts below.

Browsers for your sale would probably like to see what 'farkles' you've added to the trike
Good thought. Actually, it's practically stock. It has front floor boards instead of pegs, a shorty antenna, and foam grips.
It is the SE6, and it does have the audio system.
I've developed a back condition that has taken the fun out of riding.
I'd be open to possibly delivering the Spyder. My wife and I are always up for a road trip.
Just a thought...Quote:

I realize a backrest and possibly an aftermarket seat may help. I may give that a try, but I'm just in the mood right now to let the Spyder go.
I noticed today that the extended warranty is a $1200 value, so as Bill Murray might say, "You've got that going for you".
I now have the trike on craigslist, and I'll be putting it on e bay soon.
USMMAN, You might want to take a look at NADA and get a sense of the values there in terms of pricing. It appears that your beautiful stock Spyder has a retail value of $18,790 and Low Retail of $14,280. Extended warranties as you may know can be had for about 1/2 price at some dealers around the country. Like any product, the warranties are a profit item and it appears that many dealers are willing to be flexible on their pricing and profit margins.Quote:

The amount of scam artists that troll that site are phenomenal and extremely discouraging in my past experiences. Not sure about Ebay? You were mentioning that you had not done all of your homework. I might suggest that you consider looking at Cycle Trader and getting a national picture of what your trike is selling for in both the hands of dealers and/or private parties. For me, that has been a better gauge of what my vehicles will command on the open market. Another possibility is to consider consignment of your Spyder to your selling dealer if they do that kind of thing and paying them something like 10%-15% of the selling price to avoid the hassles of some of these scams and low ballers.
In any event, not to be discouraging and you did not specifically solicit advice (please fellow Spyder owners to not flame as these observations are offered with kindness and positive concern) but would like to see a fellow Spyder owner get as much for their machine as is reasonably possible. In some venues, prices on our trikes seem to be depressed with dealers heavily discounting new old stock and in others, less so. I am not sure exactly what the variables are that contribute to that phenomenon? Sorry that the Spyder is not working for you but there are lots of other toys to play with in life :yes:
Captain Bob, great information and tips. I'll certainly check into the web sites, etc. that you suggested ASAP. I appreciate the help.
Been out of town. Will try to do more research and update post soon.
Additional info concerning value of Spyder - Looks like $19,000 is a reasonable price, but I'll do $18,500!
Sorry photos need to be rotated.
Not to put a dampener on you trying to sell but there are new 2017's out there on cycle trader for under $17,000
:agree: ........Also check E-bay , I just did for someone else ..... There were quite a few 2017 ....F-3 " LIMITED's " ( from Dealers ) at $21 to $22,000 .....the limited option added about $4,000 to the original price of your F-3. ..... I know these comments might sound negative - However if it's priced too high it won't sell, and time is not in your favor ..... if you can't sell it this riding season it will be worth less...............Good Luck .......

Thanks,

I'm at $17, 950 right now. Got the trike on several sites now, and I'll stay at this price for a while to see what happens.
