• 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.

i posted a couple of days ago about used pricing. now i just got back from a dealer and they have a 2012 rs sm5 with 3 year warranty. bike has 1.2 miles on odometer. currently have the price at 12,900 and the dealer will throw in a cover or helmet with the bike. is this a good deal? thanks
 
Not gonna find a better deal then that, what is your concern ? Think I would of came home with it that minute. Have seen 10s and 11s trying to be sold for just as much if not more.
 
i told him that i would let him know tomorrow. i was just concerned that since it was a 2012 that it may have been a little on the high side. i havnt researched price all that much. thanks for all the replies. it will make my decision easier.

Tell him $13,000 out the door and write him a check. It's a good price at cost, but you are still looking at a Spyder with a 2 year model age. A helmet or a cover to a dealer is chump change.
 
Yes that's a smoking deal, but its totally worth making some phone calls to other dealers. My dealer has a 12 RS-S SE5 still in the crate. Don't remember the exact number, but 13500 sticks in my mind for some reason. With the increased rebate that started in May, I'll bet with some wheelin and dealin and badgering you could get a slammin deal if youre willing to drive.
 
For the folks that like the 990 series engines; it's not going to get any better than that one! :thumbup:
You've still got "throttle by cable", and a lower compression engine that'll like regular gas better.
 
Grab it...

wow .. that dealer has lost his mind on holding that bike this long. surely that floor plan expired on that bike many moons ago. i know they are not the only ones with some 2012's left. heck i have even seen one dealer that had a 2011 still sitting there just a few months ago :yikes:


i don't understand small business owners who hold on to inventory for years and then when they finally sell it, they think they made all this profit. if they had taken a little less long ago, that profit could have been working for them in other areas :banghead:. plus the dollar is most likely worth less today than it was a couple of years ago.

OP if that is a good price for you on the bike then I say go get it.:thumbup:
 
Just an FYI on BRP Flooring costs.

Have heard this from 3 diff Spyder dealer...so I'm taking it as gospel!! BRP does NOT charge any flooring on new machines (yep my response was realllllly). BUT when the dealer takes a trade in...the minute that trade in is signed over the dealer has to pay flooring. So I then understood why a couple dealers were not interested in taking my '10 in trade..wanted me to sell it. Just wanted to pass that info along...sometimes I stand on a "belief" that ain't quite the truth. :opps:
