• 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.

Best Guesstimate???

I have a friend that has been riding a Harley the last few years and has decided to get a three wheeler. He has test driven both a spyder and a Harley Trike and I think I have him talked into the Spyder. He found one at our local dealer in St. George on consignment and asked me for my opinion on the price. I have no idea what it is worth as I have no intention of selling mine so I haven't looked into what my is worth. Mine is a 2014 RTL but the one he is looking at is a 2015 RTL with 10,000 miles on it. Anybody have any suggestions on what it is worth. The consignment price is at $19,500. Is this good or bad? The dealer told my friend that the current owner has three of them but wants to get a newer model for himself so he might be eager to sell.

Thanks for any help you can give. He does a lot of cross country riding so I know he would be happier on the Spyder, no comparison in my opinion.
 
Anywhere fro 15.25K to 20K
19.5 is not bad; 18 would be better :)

Is it at MotoZoo? I don't know of anyone here in SW Utah with 3 Spyders.

I'd say the asking price is about $2k too high. But a lot depends on the way the bike is equipped and maintained and how much warranty remains.
 
I would say just slightly high. I bought used 2015 RTL in March 2017 for $19,795. ONLY 224 miles, only added feature was cup holder. not in wreck or damaged in any way. was told owner had "too much money" and bought spyder and 300 hp jet ski at same time. was bought and sold at same dealership so they know him.
depending how many extra's are on it, my guess is needs to be $1,000 less
 
RideNow Rancho in Las Vegas is only a couple of hours away from you and currently has a brand new 2015 RS-S for $13,999 or a 2017 F3-S for $17,999. Those are not RTs, however. If you look on Cycle Trader, there are a number of 2017 RTs "brand new" for under $20K, which is only $500 more than the asking price for the 2015 with 10,000 miles and no warranty.

The price is in the Ballpark; just a bit toward the more expensive part of the park! :D
Tell him to start the negotiations!
 
I got 20K, when I traded in my 2014 last June. They sold it for 21K in just a Month...
It depends on the bike, the Dealership, and the market.

NADA says $13-17,000. $15,000 would be halfway in between and in my opinion would be a fair price.

Consignment charges rears it's ugly head. Probably 10-15%. Better to buy from a private owner i.e.

no commission and no sales tax. At $19,000 it will sit for a long time.

I have a 2014 RTL and if I could sell it for $19,000 there would be nothing but a black hole where it

used to sit!

At 10,000 miles, I'd check the back tire and see how new it is, or at least get a new back tire installed as part of that deal(Unless it's already not an original Kenda). It IS getting warmer and if the bike is cosmetically clean, mechanically sound, and your friend really is "called" by the spyder, then it's worth it. He can find less expensive ones, but maybe not as conveniently either.
When I got my gently used '13, it had about 8,000 miles, I had no idea my back tire would be BALD in a matter of months at 11,000 miles. Having to change it within the first year of ownership was a bit of a downer.

Just like buying anything. offer a much lower amount and see if they accept/counteroffer?? then go from there. somewhere just say - I'll split the difference and see what happens. good luck.

Spyder price

Last year, 2017, I bought a used 2015 RT S with 6 thousand miles for 20K. Don't know if that was a great price, but it fit my budget, so I bought it. (Private too)
 
As long as the bike was worth the purchase price to you: who cares what the Peanut Gallery thinks? :thumbup:
By the way: :congrats: :clap:
 
Update on model

I went to the dealership and looked at the Syder he was looking at. Turns out it was a RT-S. Does that change the pricing much. What does the limited have that the S doesn't besides GPS?

Thanks for all the comments and additional information you can share with me.

$2K worth of chrome. And someone forget that accessories like that do not add value. :roflblack::roflblack:
