• 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.

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    Well, called my credit union. Simple process: bring the seller in and they take care of all the paperwork including DMV. No out of state transactions; private or dealer.

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    yeah, I am part of a credit union. I suppose I should call them this week and ask how it works; but any tips from others about the process would help. Do I tell the credit union I'm buying from a private party, then get a check for the agreed amount? What about the paperwork?

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    Just for conversation sake, how do I go about buying from a private party if I want my bank to finance? I've always purchased through a dealer.

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    Wow! great info. I will definitely do a little more digging; and Bluenight, that's quite the offer. If this doesn't work out I will definitely consider your offer. Sean

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    Ok, good to know. Also, what about a warranty? Is there one available for a 2009, and if so is it worth it?

    What should I offer for this 2009 RS

    Local dealer has a 2009 RS SE-5 with just under 20,000 miles. Their asking price is just under $14k. I will probably test ride it this week, they offered. It looks to be in good overall shape and they have been a Spyder dealer for years, maybe since the spyder's inception. Thanks, Sean

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    The buying process, questions. As for the purchase, how does one go about purchasing from a private party? In order to get a loan, I would need to contact my credit union of course. Just some tips of how the actual paperwork process works. I know I will eventually need to contact my credit...

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    So, how many of you ride yours daily, or just about daily. I plan on keeping my scooter but I'm sure there will be times/days where the scooter sits and the spyder would be primary vehicle. I have been checking out aftermarket parts, yes they add up, but I think from a financial standpoint, a...

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    Thanks again for all of the input. I think with the used market, an RS is the best option in. I prefer the looks and style of the RS, but I have no doubt the comfort on the RT is to notch. The local dealer has models I can at least sit on to get an idea of seating position.

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    Thanks. I'm in Central California where we only average about 11 inches or rain per year so rain isn't a huge issue but still something that will be dealt with eventually if I don't have a car. I know it has many high tech controls for such conditions, just curious how much it might slide around...

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    yeah, as I said I've always wanted one. I prefer the looks of the RS over the others but I know the RT is more designed for a passenger. It would be me solo 99% of the time so I just wanted to know how the ride is for a passenger on the RS for the occasional ride. Hopefully I'll pull the...

    Almost got one 18 months ago, now looking again

    Well the title says it. I got my M1 license 18 months ago and have been riding a 250 scooter since (and love every moment of it). I've been smitten with the spyder since they first hit the scene and almost bought a used spyder from a member here but went the two wheel route instead. Lately I've...

    Touring with an "08" GS

    This is a great thread. I'm new to riding (Nov, 2012) but am on a 250cc scooter. My wife won't get on but she has expressed possibility in getting a spyder since sitting on one at a dealer. Anywho, I know one of these is in my future and would love to take some weekend and long distance trips...
