i might not say much, i might not even know what i am talking about sometimes, but i do start conversations
I'm still scratching my head? Give away 3-4 months or more of riding ? Hope he is giving you Prime $$$ for it? What New model takes the Place of Months of No Spyder? Whether its a F3 or RT how much better could it be to be without a ride for months? I know Dealers are hesitant about trade-ins because even though WE love them they Are NOT "Flying of the shelf?" That's why everyone should have 2!
A bunch of years ago I ordered a new car. A few weeks after I placed the order the dealer called, he had someone really interested in my trade-in. I let them have it early, and they put me in a new loaner car. Wouldn't you know, there was a strike which affected my new car delivery date for almost 2 months. So, I wound up in the loaner for close to 3 months, no cost to me.
Something to think about, Bob. Get them to spot you a loaner until the new ride shows up!

Usually with trades a deal is struck and certain provisional guidelines are followed, maybe XX amount of additional miles allowed before making the swap while you wait, or maybe re-inspecting the trade when the time comes. But usually theres not much risk of the deal changing barring an actual accident. Some people may be super nervous to ride it knowing it has to be ready when the time comes anyway and would rather not risk it. I guess i can sort of see it.
