"Girl" needs help with negotiating pricing

[0228lisa]

I like the Spyder and and want to get one. The closest dealer here in Jacksonville, Florida wants $21,400 OTD (out the door) for a 2009 Silver Spyder in the crate with these upgrades I would buy......phantom package upgrade, upgraded wheels, non HID fog lights, upgraded muffler, and upgraded windshield. It can be ready in two days to drive which is appealing to me. It that a fair price??????? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

It's a manual transmission so I'm guessing a SM.

I hear that Ride Now in Ocala is a good dealer to look at, not local but not that far from you.

I paid $15,400 in Ft. Myers when I bought my SM5.

My suggestion would be to call around and get some pricing from other Florida dealers, then you'll know exactly where you stand.

I bought my silver spyder in Jacksonville with sport rack and touring windshield out the door for 16,000. I don't know what the extras you are buying cost but that sounds high to me.

Where in Jacksonville? Maybe that's where I need to go! I don't mind the dealer doing the mods since I only like the phantom upgrade as opposed to the yellow, red or silver. I'm currently riding a HD Ultra Classic and I just don't feel safe on it although it's got a really good center of gravity. I feel that if I had to make a life saving manuever on it I'd crash.

I think that with tax,tags,freight,SE5, and your mods, plus a piece of mind. Twenty one four don't sound too bad. Also tell them to include 48 month warranty at no cost, or shave the cost of the bike. If SM5 subtract $1500.00. I too place a high premium on safety. Good Luck and enjoy your Spyder what ever the cost. I also agree with what Pete is saying. In the end if you feel good about it after the price war. Pull the trigger!!!!

Take your time with the upgrades. There are so many choices on the mods and more on the way.I would just get the machine first. Just my opinion. Save alot of money without mods. That is how I did it. Now I have an amazing amount of work being done over the winter. Including paint. Good luck.

That's because you root for the Steelers and they just wanted you to leave...

I am so so sorry for you....well, at least you still have Ray Ray!

[Desert Spyder]

Didn't the 2009 Spyder go up in price by about $1500? I paid over 20 including tax, lic, setup & delivery, touring windshield, and backrest on my SE5 at a time when there was not much negotiating. I think the original letter is getting a decent deal.

That's an incredible price. Help me find that a little closer. I have vacation property up in PA so GO STEELERS!! That was an awesome game even if you didn't like the teams playing. I thought I was going to have a stroke.

WOW so without the upgrades you paid 14,200 !!! that has got to be the lowest anyone has paid. Also don't forget they are getting a silver and upgrading to the black..thats an extra grand right there

The dealer only charged me $1300 for the $3340 accessory upgrade - which was his dealer cost.

He is a large volume dealer and I am a multiple repeat customer - so I am sure this played a role - sometimes loyalty does pay in life!

Hi I live in Orange Park, which dealer are you talking to? There are there of them here and one in St. Augustine. You might want to check all of them and make sure you are getting a fair shake. The unit is usual the same but the accessories is where you can save a lillle bit on.
