    Default Totaled - 2012 or 2013 Replacement?

    So my Hurricane Sandy flooded 2012 RT LTD and trailer have been totaled by Progressive (great service btw). Is there a compelling reason to try to update to a 2013 rather than to seek out a discounted 2012?

    I haven't had my spyder long enough to give an opinion of why a 2013 or 2012 is better. I just know my 2012 works great for me. As mentioned above, everyone who has ridden a 2013 says the suspension is better as well the handling? So if money is not a concern for your purchase then I say go for a 2013, maybe the ST-limited and take pictures for us all to see. However, if you want to save a few bucks I don't think you would regret a great deal on a 2012. Good luck!

    I had a 2010 RT-S Premier Edition. It was totaled when I had my accident last February. Progressive gave me $26,500.00. I waited (made sense in that I couldn't ride anyway recovering from surgery) so I waited until 2013's came out. Hoping to get my new spyder soon. Hope this helps.

    Cost versus the 2013 model year upgrades; the choice is yours!

    Not sure how much you ride but if it's not that much and you need the money go for the 12 or earlier but if you ride a lot I would go for the 13, there were major changes in the 2013 compared to all older models.

    Bear in mind they still have the $2,000 rebate on 2011 and 12 RT,s and There is a Big Long Island dealer I,m sure you could get a 2012 for Very Reasonable right Now!! Your Not gonna get a 2013 Discounted price until next Oct-Dec?

    Sorry to hear your RT got totaled hope your house was not flooded as well, did not know there was another rider so close to me I am 5 min outside the Lincoln Tunnel on the Jersey side. At this point I would wait till the spring and if money permits it I would get the 2013.

    Just curious because I'm shopping too, what would be considered a reasonable price on a 2012 RT SM5?

    That would probably depend on just how nervous your dealer is about his unsold stock of leftover models...
