    Default Looking to purchase new 2018 F3 S this Saturday

    Been interested for a while in getting a spyder. Finally set me sights on a F3 S.
    Found a 2018 new with 120 miles - used as school trainer. No damage
    Total out the door price with taxes and license fees is $18,000.

    Any issues I need to be aware of or any suggestions.
    Bike is the yellow/black and looks sharp.

    Thanks for advice and comments.

    Sounds great--I bought mine in 2015 with lots of options for me to install--chrome wheel--upgraded seats-etc-etc. Out the door I paid close to $26K probably sold $1500 of options I didn't need. Still a lot more than $18K--you did good.

    That's a great price....and those school trainers are (generally) well looked over before releasing (dealer dependent). Love my F3. Enjoy!!!!

    It says it's good up to 439lbs, is this way off?

    Congratulations, you're going to love it.

    Couple suggestions, get a battery tender pigtail put on, that should be a dealer throw in, and if it's not too late, try to get a break on price or labor getting heated grips and driving lights put on. They make the a pretty big difference when the weather cools down.

    The sticker on mine said the same 439 we totaled 400 .it bottomed out on any little tar strip in the road. I put the occasional two up shock on it not much better. Was not going to pay 900dollars for a good rear shock. I sold it after about 2 months with like 800 miles for over 4000 dollars less than I paid
    .i had a 400cc Yamaha majesty that handled our weight better

    Verify the original date of service for the warranty. This may be coming up on the end of the warranty and if you want extend, you need to do it quick!

    Great choice...the first suggestion I would give is this .. upgrade your shocks....this right here is the most expensive yet effective Upgrade for the can-am Spyder..it's a great investment over the long run...before you do anything else take care of this first....give M 2 shocks a call..they are a member of Spyder lovers too.

    I was reading on this forum where another member had purchased a Spyder that was sold to him as New. He was led to believe he would get the factory warranty. However he discovered the dealer had registered the machine which started the clock on the warranty. He was kind of left out to dry. Especially since by the time he discovered the issue, the original dealer had gone belly up.
