Good deal or no good
I have a chance to buy a 2012 Spyder RTSM5 audio and convince package for 9 thousand. It has 30 thousand miles on it. Is this a fair deal?

Check imotorsports a sponsor of spyderlovers, click on home and scroll down. I just took a look and they have 2013, 2014 and 2015's with lower mileage at the same price point. They provide free delivery.

Call seller to get the VIN. Call any dealer...they can input the VIN into their computer system.
Note: most dealers are usually closed on Mondays.

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)

The reason that the 08 is having troubles getting a dealer to work on it is that many Motorsports dealers will not work on anything that is 10 years old or older. There is nothing about the clutch on a manual Spyder that is anything to worry about.
I would be more cautious about buying a used Spyder from a dealer that took it on trade as they have no knowledge of how it was maintained.

Definitely go with a 2014. SM6 and 1330 engine. My wife's 1st spyder was an ST and she was constantly shifting when I was cruizing in 6th. Her ST lasted a month then we traded in on a 2014 RT-S SM6 for her.

Just bought a 2012 RTL SE5 with 3600 miles for 10k. I'd keep looking...and try to get er loaded as well.Just an opinion...we all have them

Without going into it, I agree with Bromla about the Shreveport shop. Spyder sales and repair is a sideline. Their big impetus is travel trailers. Very disappointed with the one and only time I used them.
