2018 Spider pricing

[Wildrice]

I find it amazing the I can buy a http://www.lebanonford.com/lfp-800hp-mustang.htm for $39,995 with 800 HP, etc dual power seats, HID headlamps, SYNC Bluetooth technology, Reverse camera, and even Ford Track Apps. A loaded Spyder comes close to that price. Got's to be some awesome profit in building the Spyder.. The premium Mustang loaded with 10 spd auto-heated seat, steering wheel, Bose stereo, everything -leather Recaro seat is under $50K

If you pay that much for a “loaded Spyder” you’re crazy. They are already discounting the 18’s by $2,000

[trikermutha]

Starting price is $39995 so by the time your done picking your options etc,its twice that amount.

I guess it all boils down to what you enjoy. I have been a motorcycle nut since I was twelve years old and my Spyder is just an extension of that love. I bought a nice performance car a few years back and I HATED it. Sent it down the road after a year and yes I lost money. It was just like every other cage I have been trapped in just faster. To put it in perspective I bought a new Tacoma pickup in 2006. It now has 49,000 miles on it. I bought a BMW RT that year and put 100,000 on it before trading for a Triumph Trophy SE which I put 60,000 on before trading for my Spyder a year ago. The Spyder has 18,000 on it. The Spyder would have more miles, but I have two other bikes I ride when I travel solo. There is not a car out there that I would pay $40K for because I'm just not interested. I will never buy another new car or truck just to drive 4000 miles in a year.

That is the actual price for the GT Mustang vehicle offered with the 300a option package. Yes -moving up to Premium GT, GT Permanence package, add $3995, + etc

I see exactly where you are coming from. But cars and bikes are in 2 different categories. Although I am a ford guy and would love to have one of those mustangs, I know that I would not drive it much. I have an 06 roush that is in need of an oil change. My last oil change was 2/27/16. After 2 years, I have only put 2700 miles on the car. While I bought my last spyder at the end of April 2017. It now has about 9500 miles on it, and I have also purchased another 2 wheeler that I have put 700 miles on. It all boils down to what you do and how much you enjoy doing it.

[Flamewinger]

Compare how many Mustangs are sold to how many RT-L's. The more sold the less they cost.

[ahh-cool]

I hope nobody here spent $40,000 on their spyder

[Dutch Spyder]

In the Netherlands a new Mustang GT costs $140.000,- and a new Spyder RT limited costs $40.000,-.

Along with Try-axis handlebars, Rider backrest and different wheels my OTD cost was just over $35k. I'm in California. Glad I'm getting the $2k coupon.

In that case I would hate to tell you what I spent

Go ahead: Buy the Pony Car! :D

But it's still just a cage... :shocked:

Not if it's a convertible :yes: . I just remember the 70's & 80's when no cars had any power. & Now 800 HP that can be had with a warranty $$ ?. My 76 Firebird had the 4 barrel V8 & stray dogs were passing me on the freeway, 84 Corvette==piece of sh*t, 87 corvette not much better. Muscle cars of the 60's were getting top dollar & now Honda Civics are passing them. I doubt if I'll ever ride anything faster than the turbo Haybusa 344 rwhp that I sold in Sept 2017. To build a stock engine that can tolerate 800 HP implies quality to me--Same for the 10 spd auto trans. Actually I only have a 3.3 car garage & it's full--if you won't mind calling my wife & asking her to park in the driveway I would be forever grateful---or castrated. Thus just as the prior supercharger gentlemen stated--there's no room to drive it except for the track. I can see the twin turbo Ford Explorer in my garage already replacing my existing SUV :-(

It's difficult to compare apples to organges. Flamewinger may have many upgrades you don't. All the longer the Spyder sits on the floor without a buyer the easier it is to get a bigger discount. Dealers get their spyders without any money down & then have many months to sell & pay for it. If the dealer was nearing the ending of free cost spyder time because nobdy liked the color they's have little choice other than major discount.

It's not what you've got in them that matters: it's what you get out of them! :2thumbs:

Ever work for Harley Bob ???

[Bob Denman]

The worst P.O.S. that I ever owned said "Harley-Davidson" on the tank...

But it was a mid-seventies two-stroke 250 cc dual purpose Harley! :banghead:
I sawed it in half, and gladly carted it to the Dump!

Bob--You sawed your non cage in half+ 2 pieces---a cage would have got your 4 pieces.

[C. Lee]

But its a mustang, who wants a mustang? Go buy a mustang if you want to be like everyone else. If I wanted a ride that everybody had, I'd have bought a harley. Chris

Tariff's quite simply! When something is shipped and sold here from the Netherlands almost no tariff is charged. Same goes for Canada. That's what all the hub-bub is about lately! We need to wake up to these one way trade deals.

Don't forget, or for those that don't know, BRP spent tons of money developing the Spyder and it almost failed as a concept until Bosch stepped in a solved the "Nanny" problems. I'm sure part of the now high pricing is related to still having to amortize their money from the original investment. ;)

So how many Spyders were being sold in the mid 70's? My better half has a new 2014 Road King that is a beautiful ride. I spent all day yesterday adding new farkles to it. I love to ride it as much as my new F3.

That same Ford Mustang built in Flat Rock, Michigan by U.S. Auto workers is $52,938 here in Canada.

I couldn't add the BOSE stereo the OP mentioned.

[Dmetcalf]

I received an email this morning from the dealership where I purchased mine indicating they could offer the $2K trade in incentive for me. I replied and said I just paid my 2016 off and it has just over 4K mi. On it. I think I’ll just keep it but thanks ..!

[AY4B]

I got the 2K off offer today in the mail with a promo code saying offer ends April 16th. I Just got my 2017 and am happy with what I have though. Still working on the Farkling process:helpsmilie:its a disease!
