Hi pegasus1300,
Re: after figuring in your travel costs was it still cheaper?
I bought mine used, almost exactly two years ago. I bought it in Southern California and was not about to ride up I-5 this time of year. I also did not own any gear for riding at that time.
It cost me about $600 to have it shipped. Yes, it was worth it.

When you bought at Spyderfest did you go thinking you were going to purchase a new bike or were you made "an offer you couldn't refuse?"

I guess I also win the wimp award for purchasing my spyder. I bought it from a dealer in Texas, and had it shopped to Apex, NC. I had to walk all the way down my driveway (about 100ft.) to let the delivery guy show me how to go through the gears.
I did travel 10 hours one way to purchase my first M109R, but I picked it up on my truck. The longest distance that I have driven to pick up a motorcycle is about 200 miles to purchase my 2nd. M109R.

1800 miles for me. Flew from Phoenix to Chicago using miles to pay for flight. Drove it home.
Got out great deal on very low mileage 2014 RT. The drive home was great except for sore butt. I'd never driven that far on a bike so learned a lot along the way.
I would do it again!

It better be a GREAT deal to travel roughly 16 hours, not including the time to complete the paperwork. Probably a 2-day excursion.

I drove 25 miles to get my 2015 RT Limited. But, It took me just a little over 400 miles to get it home. Amazing how that happens !!!!! LOL !!!!

2400 miles one way
Drove south for an hour + from Arlington, WA to SeaTac airport. Flew down to Dallas, got a ride east for an hour (to Greenville) to pick up my F3S, rode back over several days. Great deal on the bike and a wonderful adventure. 500 miles would be a piece of cake for you!

They treated me very good. The sales person I purchased from is Andrea. We did everything by email and phone call. The morning I was there to pick it up she had it cleaned and ready to go and helped to load it on the trailer. No hassle didn't try to sell me anything else, just the way I like it here's the price and done. I would purchase from them again.

I'm always surprised at the wide range in price from one Can Am dealer to another when it comes to new current year Spyders. Seems there is a handful of dealers across the country that can continually beat the price of many local dealers even when u factor in shipping across the country.

thats averaging about 100 MPH! Or did I misunderstand and the total miles there and back were 199.4 and not 199.4 there and 199.4 back?

I like some others found a deal on line and took it to 2 dealers... The one closest was like can't do it the other came very close so went with that.
Live, Love, and Ride! God Bless!
