Well, I just placed my order for a 2014 spyder RT (timeless black) from Louispowersports. The salesman seemed very nice, and helped to set me up with a shipping company. The uncrating and build should be finished tomorrow, and it will be shipped out in an enclosed trailer on Tuesday, along with another destined for this area.
I tried to deal with the 3 closest dealers in my area, and they were not too kind at all.
In Goldsboro, they told me that they could get me one and match the Texas dealers price. After waiting for them to call, I called them 4 times and never got to talk to the owner (who I was dealing with). Finally today, he sent word (by an employee), that he could not get one like I wanted in , and it wasn't worth it for him. The reason he sent word, was because he left today for WV for a ride, and said he didn't have time to call me. Remember, this is after he said he had eyes on 3 and could make the deal.
In Durham, they said they couldn't get one, but tried to offer me one that I didn't want, (had extras that I don't desire) They offered it at a "discount", but still over $3k more than I could get the same unit for in Texas.
In Henderson, said they had the unit like I wanted, but their price was about $2k more. After more questioning, they said they didn't have that unit, but would put me into one similar, but it was still more expensive.
Bottom line, my new spyder from Greenville, Tx. should arrive friday (10/3), in an enclosed trailer ready to ride. No assembly required:yes:. I will keep you updated, and post pictures.
