The one posted here is a good deal and there are a few more out there like this if you look around.

How much are they asking? Can you pay cash or do you need financing?

They certainly are proud of it. To me, not a good deal.

The one advertised here, suggested above, is a good deal. You said you are a novice. Those answering you are not. Take the good advice and spend you money more wisely..... Jim

Check out this thread: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...ht=mirror+2020. Your Spyder may or may not have a mirror vibration issue. It's something you'll want to check out and if it hasn't been corrected get the dealer to do so. Also, do a search here for BRPConnect. Some owners have had real issues getting it to work satisfactorily and others have had good luck with it. Learn all you can about it and try to be ahead of problems using it.
Get a handle on those two issues and all will be super great with your new ride!
Oh, and review this thread: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...-Spyder-owners. It is deep fountain of good information for new Spyder owners. It will go a long way to cure your 'novice' status!

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I especially appreciate the links in the forums. I will be posting pics when it’s delivered on Friday! I am taking my 3 wheel class so I can legally ride it Saturday and Sunday. This community is so nice. Outside of this community I have gotten **** for buying a Can am because I’m in my late 20’s and those bikes are for “old people” or disabled people. Kinda pissed me off. Oh well Ill be having fun and I’ll be more comfortable.

Age is just a number, you are for sure gonna enjoy the spyderride, whether cruising, and enjoying the scenery, or blasting the paved roads, it's a ver versatile machine, can't wait to hear your first experience.
Mine was (still is) a real eyeopener....
People are jealous, it's kinda an expensive toy, I had a motorbike, and found that I was always drivin alone, cause my spouse, didn't want to ride with me, so I was at my dealer, and asked if i could testdrive a can am spyder, took it home, the wife jumped on, and after a few km's she was filming, and apping on her phone, telling her sister, YEAH finally in the comfort zone, so I bought one on the spot..15000 kms later, we still love this machine
ps, I am 53 yrs old...ghegheghe
