    Question $20,000 2013 RSS se vs 18200 RSS se out the door which one?

    Ok went to 3 dealers so far and these are the best prices I could find. Does it sound reasonable? If so which one should I go with is the 13? Worth the extra money. Please help me decide this is a lot of money and I am doubting myself, but I think I will love a spyder. I just want to make the right decision. Thanks Derek

    Price is just one of many factors. You should test ride to help determine if you notice differences or like one better than the other. Dealer reputation and how well they service the would be another consideration for me. Don't let anyone talk you into one or the other. Bottom line, it's your call.

    Let us know what you decide.

    Is it just me or do those prices seem a bit high?

    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.

    Hi if your trying to decide which RSS 2012 or 2013 i would ride both and decide if the options on the 13 modle is worth the extra cost to you some are verry happy with a 2012 as am i if you want the latest and greatest 15" wheels cruise control new fender style than the 2013 is for you also manual or semi auto is a consideration at the end of the day you have to be happy with your purchase.
    Good luck and welcome to spyderlovers the best place to get help and make new friends.

    don't go by the price but Dealer's reputation
    also if you are in doubt, don't buy! - service ain't cheap either if you are not into it
    you either love it or leave it

    If money is the issue go for the less expensive one. If you do not have a great deal of time on them you will not know the differences. I got my 2012 RS over 3000.00 less and do not want to even ride a 2013. What I don't know can't hurt me. Nice to have the newest but they do hold their value and when you wear this one out go for the newest...jmho..!!

    Default $20,000 2013 RSS se vs 18200 RSS se out the door which one?

    I'm sure you will be happy with either machine. However IMHO you would be way ahead with the 2013. With the new frame design, Brembo brakes, plus the restyled fenders the 2013 will be more desireable on the used market a few years down the road. It is a lot of money for either machine but the extra $ for the 2013 probably won't make a huge impact on payment. That is your decision to make.

    Guys so what is a fair price for a 2012 out the door? or a 2013 out the door? Both those prices include taxes and everything. Just really looking for some guidance. I am really excited to get one. I just want to make the right call.

    Prices vary depending where you go. I know here in Canuck land it's up there. Mine was 26k out the door, c/w 23" windshield, Hindle can and HID lights/fog lights.

    You should test drive a Model before spending that amount of $$$

    I think if you ride both you're going to like the 2013 better. I think you should be getting a better price on the 2012. I would see if they might budge a bit on the older model.

    My 2012 RSS loaded was $16,500 in April of 2012 i would think that the leftover 12 now would be a better deal now that the 13 is out also the dealer and service would seal the deal.

    I already mentioned on one of your other threads to talk to Ron at Rusty Palmers in Honesdale, PA. Tell him that Shawn Scott formerly of Binghamton, NY sent you there. They have always been great to deal with.

    Are you guys including the tax freight and assembly charges too? I thought 19,700 out the door with everything included was a great deal. I went to like 5 different dealers too

    I was right around 16000 after taxes, and I live in NY

    I have heard very good things about Klinger's in Walton, NY. I am not sure how far that is from Honesdale though.

    Wow I looked at several places and that was the best price. I guess I bought at the wrong time of the season maybe
