    Default Finally got my first Can am spyder!

    Found a brand new 2015 Can Am Spyder F3S se6 at a dealership for 13,661 bucks and got to take it home today. Paid most the bike of but have three months to pay of 905 bucks to the dealership. Couldn't get traditional financing but least they will give me an interest free loan. I'm so happy to finally have a bike and it only had 1 mile on it when I signed the papers but now it's up to 70 miles. Only thing I did have alot of problems with the knowledge of the staff about the bike. They couldnt tell me the warranty terms, lost the temporary plate further delaying me out the door. Sales guy as well as owner didn't know anything about the ufit system tried telling me there is only one key for the bike but mysteriously found it in the fronk. And left me with a soaking wet owners manual thankfully there online. Felt so good going down the highway in stop and go traffic without having to feather a clutch. The machine is fast and powerful. Had the most fun in a long time since my car accidents. 20180530_202648.jpg

    Glad to see that persistence pays off.

    Once paid off, I would suggest being on the look out for another dealer. They do not sound like a go to place if you have issues or problems with your new F3.

    You can get "real" warranty information by contacting BRP direct. The dealer must "register" your new F3 for the warranty to be in effect. Trust, but verify.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    I will call BRP to make sure it's there.

    You know I actually read the manual of the bikes was interested in I encountered limp mode but then was puzzled it went away but my coolant is overflowed I need get it drained some of. I had a goal to get one ever since I was trained by a course for three wheel endorsement. I had the option of using the can am spyder for the hands on learning portion. I also had option to use sidecars or regular trike and wasn't interested in any of em aside the spyder. I am grateful that my insurance company paid out enough for me to obtain one. Dealer had price at 12990 and I got out the door 13661 and another 240 in registration costs.
