Thinking of trading my 2012 for a 2021 RT - Any ideas How Much?

Thinking about traiding my 2012 rt for 2021 rt, but i'm not sure how expensive it is going to be. Anyone have any guidence would be greatly apreciated.

Stealers don't seem to be coming off MSRP much. Expect about $24k for a base model, $27k for a Limited and about $29k+ for a S2S.

I don't know how much good this will do but we just recently traded my wife's 2012 RT-S (hers was red just like yours) for s 2021 Sea to Sky and it was, in fact, expensive. But it's only fair to say that expensive is a different proposition for each of us. The dealer gave us $8000 for the 2012 with about 42,000 miles under it's belt, and we accepted. That's more than other local dealers and about $1500 more than iMotorSports offered.

I would imagine it's pretty unlikely you'll find dealers willing to accept low offers on a 2021, and I wouldn't expect discounts beyond whatever BRP might be offering dealers at any given time. Spyders are expensive but no more so than a new top-of-the-line Gold Wing or Harley or Indian touring machine. And, they fall over if not careful and require a small crew to pick up again!

I suspect we may have received the highest trade value for the 2012 RT-S because we bought it (used) at that dealership and it's also where I bought my 2015 RT-S. Perhaps there's something to be said for dealership loyalty, Then again, perhaps not but we left believing we were treated well and would buy from the again. And despite what some complain about, the profit margin on motorcycles is nowhere near what it is for automobiles. Expecting a dealer to agree to a large amount off the MSRP is highly unlikely and an unreasonable expectation in my humble opinion.

Trade in is a big part of the picture. $7K to $9K would seem to be the ballpark, depending on condition, mileage, etc. There are other things to negotiate about. Accessories are one, cost, install fees, etc. Most dealers negate shipping and set up fees. If you run into one that slaps all kinds of extra fees on the deal, then your red flags should go up.

If you go BEST warranty, iMoto will sell you three years for less than $700. You do not have to buy the machine from them and you have two years to do it. Just buy it before the mfg. warranty expires.

I traded a 2015 Triumph Trophy SE ($7k) for a 2020 RT base. Out the door price after the trade was $16k.
So $23k delivered back in September.

:coffee: Just a thought. Have you tried to sell the Spyder on your own? Check Kelly Blue Book for Pricing. You could Post it here on this Forum, if you want to sell. Good Luck on Your Mission. ....:thumbup:

Thanks for the quick replys. I have two local dealers working on it so hopefully one can get me where it does'nt hurt so much. Also mine is rt with electric shift with 22600 miles, very spoiled machine with too many adds that I know I won't get much for so if I get this done I will have a sale on some good stuff. Thanks again.

Two days ago made a deal at Roelefson's, they gave me the best deal around the area and would have given me the best trade in price except I sold my 2014 to my brother inlaw instead.

Traded my 2013 RTL for an S2S and paid a little over 19K. My RTL had 22,000 miles

You may be able to shop around out of area/state and find a great price, but you'd have to consider cost of shipping. I bought a 2020 RT base in December for less than 20K from Motomember in Virginia. Worked with a salesperson named Paul.
Also, if you don't mind buying 1 with miles on it, you should be able to get 1 for much less than MSRP if it was used for the rider training course. From my research, I found most had less than 1K miles on them. The pro for that is the break in period and maintenance was already completed. The con, the warranty already started from the day the spyder is used and there may be small/minor scuffs/damage from the class.
Good luck on the search.

Stopped there on tuesday but haven't heard anything. Going to stop again Friday.

Well I did it. pick it up on saturday. 2021 petrol rt limited. Dealer gave me 2k better than the big dealers would give. Small town still taking care of people.
