Came across a great, if not maybe even smokin', deal listed on Craigslist the other day, a 2014 RT-S SE6, Cognac, with 652 miles on the ODO, for $17,999. :yes: :clap: It was being sold by a non-Spyder motorcycle dealer in Port Orchard, WA. I called them first thing Tuesday, they're closed Mondays, and said I want it. Offered him $17000 and he said no way, someone else had already called and made an offer which he turned down. The price was firm. I made a deposit with a cc and started work to finalize the deal and get the money to him. Deposited the money into their checking account at a local branch of their bank. No wire fees that way. He was hot to close and I didn't want to lose out! :thumbup: The m/c shop is an operation of Peninsula Subaru so I felt confident at not getting screwed any more than if I were there talking to him eyeball to eyeball.
No idea about farkles and don't know what, if any, Best warranty there is on it. I was betting that he wouldn't be familiar with all the after market goodies we like to put on and I sure didn't want to tip him off to anything that might prompt him to jack the price up on me! :yes: He was already regretting not having asked one or two grand more! He said he should have had it priced $2000 more but it was too late now. He did put $18,999 on the sales contract and listed a $1000 in house discount. I asked him about the $150 documentation fee. Here's his response. Kind of interesting, I think.
I got him to send me a copy of the title so I'll see if I can contact the previous owner and find out more about what he may have added. Supposedly he traded it in on a Harley in Colorado and that dealer sold or consigned it to his buddy, the dealer in WA. With only 652 miles on it I figure there can't be any problems that aren't covered by warranty. It was sold new in Sep, 2014. Didn't all RTs sold back then come with a Best warranty? Here's some pics they sent me. Now I have to move some farkles, like the Tri-Axis handlebar and F4 windshield, from my 2013 RT to this one. I head up there with pickup and trailer on Monday to pick it up on Tuesday.
