There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Franchised dealers are pretty much the same no matter where you go; no matter what you're buying... :shocked:
They will try to squeeze every drop of blood that they can out of you, and you'll try to steal every morsel of food off the plates of their children... nojoke
In the end; you either find some common ground, and everybody comes out of the room equally unhappy...
or you walk away and start the process someplace else! :yikes:
Oh! :welcome: Happy hunting! :2thumbs:

More or less, yes.
There aren't a lot of deals to be had on 2014's right now as they're pre-orders. Once they've been sitting in the showrooms for months you'll find more dealers ready to make you a bargain deal.
There ARE some great deals to be found on 2013's right now. For example, before the end of the month there's some nice rebates, double warranty and decent financing offers. I've been hearing many people getting deals of $5000-7000 off sticker.
I have no experience in that area, but I'm sure others will chime in.
I know many will recommend you travel to a far away dealer to get a great deal... and as much as I love Len and his folk I have to chime in a little.
If you buy a Spyder from another dealer and then return to your home dealer with the expectation to service your Spyder you might be a bit disappointed in how that works out. Many dealers will be less than thrilled with your snubbing them like that. Someone else gets to make the sale, bumping that dealership up... while they get the less-profitable recall work etc which does nothing for their sales figures nor maintains their platinum or whichever status.
Shop around... and let your local dealer know you're shopping around before travelling to another dealer.
Now, if your local dealer just sucks (some do...) Call Len
He will give you a great deal and will impress the heck outta ya and the ride home from Springfield, MO on your new Spyder will just be icing on the cake.

Everyone is somewhat biased about their own dealers--unless they have had a bad experience. I am one of those that recommend checking local first. There have been many nightmare postings about people that purchased a :spyder2: from far away. Then, they have issues with it, and the local dealer gives the customer the cold shoulder and does little or nothing to fix the :spyder2:
There seem to be no rules enforced to get warranty service from an authorized dealer. Its kind of up to them how they are going to treat you.
Like any other big ticket item--you have to do your homework to see if you are getting the best price. There are good prices and not so. The customer usually gets what they pay for though. There is a reason some dealers are cheaper than others. Most times it has to do with how good they are on service. The dealer who takes your money and sends you out the door never to see you or your :ani29: again--has nothing to lose.

My local dealer has always treated me extreamely well. He will tell you up front, "I take care of the people that buy from me First". And I don't blame him. I have heard many stories of someone going a hundred to two hundred miles past a dealer to save a couple of hundred (or less)dollars. Then these same people expect to move to the front of the line for any problems they may have. How much money do they really save going back to where they bought for sevices?
