    Default 2017 F3 Limited

    I rode my Indian over to Findlay Ohio just to see what American Powersports had. They had new Spyders right inside the door and as I started to walk away I noticed they had a 2017 F3 Limited in Magnesium Metallic which looks like a pewter color to me. I checked out the saddlebags, the trunk & frunk before getting into the saddle which was very comfy. The only thing it needs is a longer brake rod for my long legs, moving the floorboards forward. The salesman said he would go down to 28 grand from list price. I don't know if that's a good price or not. Besides that I'd have to sell my Indian outright to avoid being scalped on a trade-in.

    If you can live without the back trunk and that color you might want to look at leftover 2016's. Pretty much the same machine otherwise and can be had for $21-22k these days. Thats what we did. Leaves a lot of room for windscreens, seats, backrests, etc.
    Just a thought.

    That's pretty good advice as another dealer in the area has quite a few 2016's to choose from. Honda East Toledo has a 2016 Limited Special Series in matte black for $21,387 and he's also got a 2016 F3T SE6 in Magnesium Metallic for $19,767. $6613 less and $8233 less than 28 grand. He's got several other 2016's with unlisted discounts on his website as "request a quote".

    I had given up on trading my 2012 RTL for an F3 when I talked to my local dealer. Found one a 2 hours away who gave me a great deal on a 2016 F3L. Added the topcap backrest & footboards for the passenger. Looking at a new windshield now. I think I have a Blue Ridge (only 13" but curves up at the top) & the wind buffeting is a bit much for not always wonderful weather near Buffalo The F3 rocks!! More comfortable than I've ever been on my RTL
    2016 F3 Limited with Topcase, RT-622 trailer, Lamonster LED Headlights, Lamonster LED Fog lights, Lamonster LED Ring Lights, 25" F4 windshield, BRP Belt Tensioner, 2018 Triton GU10 trailer to haul it

    Being an Indian rider also - I would advise against getting rid of your two wheeled ride. One thing aint like the other.
    Buy a used 2016 - easy to find with upgrades already done and for a good price - 21k or thereabouts.
    I added the top case which aftermarket all said and done you will drop $2800 parts/labor/BUDS update.

    Default top case

    I found a 2016 F3T and added the top case and floorboards myself.
    Saved a bunch of money doing it myself and now have it like a convertible.
    Top case off around town and on for trips. Comes off in about 5 mins. and goes back on in about 10.
    I leave the antenna laid down flat under the passenger seat and cowl.

    Honda East Toledo is a good dealer with good service and parts pricing....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    That salesman is nuts. I got my 2018 F3L a month ago for 24,678 out the door. I could have gotten a 2017 for 2k less but went for the 2018. Look around there are great deals out there.

    That is a terrible price - glad you stopped here before completing the purchase.

    The regulars here have all given you good advice - a better price is only a phone call away. Get the best price elsewhere and see if your dealer will match it - otherwise buy elsewhere and get it delivered or pick-up on your own to save thousands.
    Love my Spyders
