Pendind Purchase

[Barrett82]

Hi all,
been doing my research, lurking on several forms.
I've talked with several dealers also.
What's a good price on manual shift spyder?
I'm hearing 15K not including tax for an 09 on another forum.
I'm in Oh

welcome

I got one of the first ones and I paid 17K+ out the door. If you can get one for 15K that would be a good deal.

Thats a deal and now Sales Taxes on the Spyder can be deducted on your Federal Income Tax (Stimulus) welcome

15k should be doable for an SM5. I paid 15.4 for mine in July 08.

If you get a 2008, do so...check ebay...you might be able to beat 15k...as far as new, there was the ole famous BRP price increase of about $1000.00 for 2009 models...(somewhere around there)...

No matter what you do...get one...it's worth whatever you pay...

The bike is a blast!

I heard from a friend last week that he had a friend that bought a dealer demo (Premier Edition) for around $13,000. Basically a new Spyder. Please don't give me any flack for posting "a friend of a friend said..." reports.

You should be able to get $1000 off MSRP without a lot of haggling. Some dealers are even getting closer to $2000 off as we get near the end of the month.

So, on an '09 your negotiations would begin at these numbers:

SM5 Moon = $16,199 - 1000 = $15199
SM5 Red or Yellow = $16599 - 1000 = $15599
SE5 Moon = $17699 - 1000 = $16699
SE5 Red or Yellow = $18099 - 1000 = $17099

I had the Daytona dealer offer 2200 off on a Red '09 SE5 but their "fees" sucked up 250 of that 2200. We ended up buying a leftover 2008 Yellow SE5 from First Coast in St. Augustine for $14,000 OTD with my wife's 1999 SV650 trade. That was a net discount of 2100 on the lower 2008 SE5 base price and a trade valued at 3000. We only paid $3000 for the SV650 4 years ago so we're happy with the deal.

got mine for 14,500.00

One other thing to consider. If you don't have to have a brand new Spyder, there are some nice used ones out there at good prices. One just popped up on this forum's For Sale threads. Most of the time with a used Spyder, you are getting extra value in the mods that are done on the bike.

I paid less than $11K for a used with Hindle (but added $2K worth of mods since). So I didn't really save that much. If you got cash, you can really wheel and deal in this economy.
