Buying my first Spyder

[vdoman]

Maybe its just paranoia but I can't help but feel that whenever I buy something new from a dealer i'm getting screwed! Everything is stacked in the "houses" favor. That being said, I am in the processing of buying a 2015 FS-S Semi with most, not all, of the "Touring Escape Package". The dealer breakdown to me seems like he is taking mostly a 10% discount on each 'extra' escape piece. I would have expected a better (deeper) cut. Am I asking for too much or this about what you'd expect?

Any feedback would be appreciated,

Thanks,
soon to be "Spyder Rider"

Dont ask me after 2k miles of pure joy, now having major issues with my F3. That being said, how much are you paying just for the F3-S without the extras? The other accessories can sometimes be found on ebay for 20% less then dealer and you dont pay tax or some dealers like mine give you 20% off accessories after the purchase. Just something to consider.

My dealer drops 15% off of the price of accessories at the drop of a hat... nojoke
It doesn't hurt to ask him to "sweeten the pot" a little bit! :thumbup:

I would also ask for free 1st service (@3k miles). I think my service dept guy said it was $360ish...

Lack of discounts on those package F3 prices are a big complaint lately. Many good suggestions posted above.

You can remind him the 2016's will be out in a couple of weeks. Or if you wait there might even be a touring version of the F3.
Good luck on your decision. But at least the 2015's might be discounted a little more. Bob

Slight edit to this. 2016's will be announced in a couple of weeks but not delivered until February(ish).

For some good prices you should check out iMotorsports.
