I’ve been lurking for quite some time now and finally have a reason to post. The Spyder has been on my mind since the first time I saw it, however it was a big process to buy one. I had no place to keep it because my wife uses the only garage. So I decided I could buy an enclosed trailer to keep the Spyder in and haul it places I also want my car. Well I didn’t have a car that could pull a trailer...
So… an angry wife, a new car, a new trailer and a Silver 2009 Spyder SM5 are finally home.
I picked it up on Saturday, I asked the dealer to make sure the steering recall was completed before I picked it up. I got the deer in the headlights look, but they happily looked into it and had it finished at pick up. Thanks to this forum I was confident in what I was talking about. Thanks everyone!
I had intended to wait until the 2010 model came out to see if there were any improvements worth having. After seeing the new $1000 rebate for accessories and the extra year of warranty on this site I just couldn’t wait any longer. I hope I don’t regret it.
Sorry for the long first post, but I’m happy to finally be part of the family. I hope to meet many of you at Spyders in the Smokies in September.
