"Girl" needs help with negotiating pricing
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.

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.
Wow what a ride!! Love my spyder!!

SPYDER MODS
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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Welcome to SpyderLovers 0228lisa. That quote you got does sound high. Not knowing exactly what upgraded exhaust, windshield, etc. you are being quoted on, I would still guess you are getting about $2,500 (list price) worth of accessories. Most dealers give their best price breaks on the accessories, especially if they don't discount the Spyder price. It doesn't appear that they are giving you any break whatsoever.
Like others have said, shop around. Have them give you a written quote of each item and its price. You can take that to other dealers to see who is willing to compete for your business. Take other quotes back the first dealer to see what they are willing to do to complete the sale. Maybe hook up with one of the SpyderLover members down there who bought from a good dealer and have them go with you to their dealer to get you a good quote.

Something else to consider Lisa. If your quote is kind of high, is your dealership putting aftermarket accessories on your spyder for you? Many dealers will not do that. So maybe that includes labor for items you would have to do yourself or pay someone else to do. So it may not be that high after all. Get your quote on paper as suggested and then make sure you are comparing apples to apples. If you consider all the accessories, both BRP and aftermarket and all the labor costs to put them all on the spyder, you probably have a fair price. I will have to go back and look at your list but I was thinking you were the one that wants all the NMN and Kewlmetal aftermarket items as well as the Phantom Black package, or am I mistaken? Either way, enjoy and welcome again.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.
