2019 F3L price drop.

[Airborne Engineer]

I have no special knowledge to why they've lowered the price and I'm only guessing in my previous post. I do know though, my local dealer was extremely frustrated this past summer with the fluctuating rebates for my 2017 RT Limited. In the few months leading up to my purchase...the conversation went from the price he could give me, to the price he could give me with the $3,000 rebate, and to the price he couldn't give me with the $4,500 rebate (he had very little wiggle room to lower the price beyond the rebate). I suspect dealers in general would like a more stable pricing for the Ryker and Spyder as long as they can still lure customers in the door with the new pricing structure. Hopefully, BRP makes some announcements about the new prices that the dealers can explain to their customers.

I appreciate your comparison with JC Penny (I'm more of a Sears missing Montgomery Ward guy) and do think you're right that they're going to have to make some type of "this is a good deal sale" to bring people like you and me in. At the new prices though, I wouldn't expect a repeat of those $3000 to $4500 rebates but lesser incentive package.

BUT...given the new Ryker line and the push to reaching demographics, BRP likely needs to change how sells these reverse trikes to a younger generation. Younger people don't want to wheel and deal and their initial shopping isn't being done at the dealership but online. If the dealer can't promise them a best price online or refuses to display their sale price...they don't call but instead move one. My local Ford dealer now sales cars at a fixed "best price" with no haggling. Older folks don't like it...but new customers love this no haggle pricing structure.

Again though, I'm only guessing. Any dealers here that can explain the new pricing structure for the F3 and RT? The motivation for the change?

I got my 2017 RT-S for just a hair over $20k about a week ago. $4,500 off sale for left over inventory. I sent the dealer a link to a 2014 limited I was looking at that had 4,800 miles and was fully loaded for just shy of $18K. I said why would I pay all that for the 2017 left over? They dropped the price another $2,500 and I said well then, now I will buy it.

I have a deal pending now for a used '17 F3 LTD, 5000 miles wit lots of Extra stuff thrown in for 24ooo. This is making me wonder if I should go ahead with the deal.

Since we're talking about F3 pricing. BRP just put out their latest rebate (though other than a FB post, I see no mention of it elsewhere). Anyways, I just got a quote from imotorsports for a 2018 F3L, $21,999. That seems to be fair and comparable (especially with it being shipped to my driveway here in back woods KY). Thoughs?

Dark or Chrome? If it's Chrome, no question it's a fantastic deal. If it's a Dark trim, you're talking about just a $2500 price difference to the 2019 equivalent. I'd see if you can squeeze another $500 out of them (although delivery to your door step may be why they won't go lower). Still $2500 off is nothing to sneeze at. As I mentioned before, given the starting low prices for 2019, I don't think we'll be seeing the large rebates for this model year like we just saw for the 2017 and 2018 model years. In other words, I don't think you'll get any better deal next year for a 2019 than you'll get this year for a 2018.

Dark. They are going to throw in the rear faring. Which I believe is $680. Your last sentence is what has me saying to myself, make the purchase. Yes the current rebate loses its value when you take into account the new MSRP of the 2019. But it's still $8,000 less it's starting MSRP, $2,500 less than a 2019. All the same features as a 19 and 0 miles on it, it's in the crate still. Even though the shipping is free and one of their selling points, I do have to factor that perk into the purchase as I truly live in the middle of nowhere KY. So my other option is making a road trip out of state with the wife. I'd still love to hear others weigh in their opinions please

I too want to hear what others have to say with regards to the 2018 you're looking at. My wife and I did the same thing when the 2018's were available...we purchased a 2017 at a "good price". This looks like a good deal to me.

Pricing the 2018 based on 2019 prices plus some discount make a lot of sense. But what is the impact of the 2019 price drop on the 2016 and 2017 "new leftovers" still at dealers? I'm aware of some advertised "best price" on some new F3 2016s sitting on the dealer's floors that are currently marked a $1000 above their 2019 counterpart. Seems like there needs to be a whole new shifting in the price structure for what is a "good deal" on a 2016 and 2017.

Out of curiosity, what's the asking price for his trailer? Roughly how old and how many miles? Seems like people hang onto their trailers...perhaps longer than they keep their current Spyder.

Its a 2013 BRP 622 with low miles. I have not seen it in person, only pics. It is supposed to be in perfect condition. Black with red metal flake. Price was negotiated.dont care to say.

 

[coffenut]

I noticed. Wonder if BRP decided to stop using rebates as a sales tactics and just start offering a more reasonable MSRP to begin with. It looks like the F3 and F3-S might be getting a new dashboard...maybe there is some cost savings there too?

New dashboard? You mean different than the 2018?

2018 dashboard on F3S is same as 2017 and prior. Its new for 2019 with the analog gauges gone. One large black on tan monochrome LCD panel.

It looks a lot like the one on the Ryker.

Slimming down the sku's

Part of the price drop may be coming from lowering the number of parts they need to keep in inventory. Having worked in a very similar industry we always tried to not have too many options of how you could build a machine. So things like eliminating the SM models and keeping the number of colors down similar dashboards all these things help with inventory and assembly.

I agree it will hurt the resale on my 2016 F3-T but I don't plan to sell it for a few years yet anyway. As someone else stated earlier I don't expect to get much when I trade in the bike. Mostly because I will have enjoyed the stuffing out of it and not worried about the price when I get rid of it.

 

[bscrive]

The Canadian rebates are $4500 + 4 years warranty on selected models.

I went on their site for the 2018 models and I don't see and change in price for the F3 Limited. If they don't have the rebate on the F3L then it is a no brainer to get a 2019 dark. My wife doesn't care for the chrome. She is going to call our dealer to see what all the price is.

 

[Big F]

Did anyone notice the 19 F3L dropped 4k in price.

correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears BRP has dropped the MSRP of all of the Spyder line???
(and I just bought a new 2018?????)
BIG F

 

[JP58]

Has anyone taken in account there will be a 25 percent Trump tariff added to the 19 models. That is another 6k.

 

[al0vely]

NOOO !

I know - that is probably the big trick with the new pricing *lol*
