• 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.

Can Am Reducing MSRP Across The Board

An update about minimum orders. I was on the phone with my dealer today. He stated that they are no longer going to be selling Spyders. The Ryker is the straw that broke the camels back.

Minimum order twelve plus a multi thousand dollar display set up. Similar to what he talked about in 08/09.

Now, no selling dealers for Spyder in the state of Alaska. Nearest will be Whitehorse, YK Territories or Washington State (lower 48).

They are going to service Spyders for the next two years.

A big disappointment to me. There are not many of us who have been with the brand from its inception. There are not many of us who have purchased five different ones over the years. I feel not to happy over this.

It is a mixed bag for the dealers. Can Am apparently did not reduce the price on any left over models, so the dealers are stuck trying to sell off left overs at the old prices. So they have a lot of incentive to not order any 2019s until all of the old back stock is gone, or just order and not floor it. Also, from what my dealer told me Can Am is also doing some goofy things with the Rykers. He told me that if they want to carry Rykers, dealers have to make minimum orders that may or may not be realistic, and they have to buy a large and expensive floor display that takes up a ton of sale floor space.

Makes you wonder.

I've read that the minimum RYKER order is 12. It looks like BRP has dropped the RT prices to '14-'15 levels.

I remember

july I looked at a front lawm 2012 RT for $14,000 no some people are a little overpriced but then if it sits for another year thats their choice

We bought a 2019 F3 Limited for only $800 more than the 2018 model and that is with the rebate applied on the 2018. It was a no brainer for us.
The new pricing worked in our favor, but I feel for those that paid full price for a 2018 earlier this year. They are the ones that will loose big time if they have to sell.

Reading that a slightly different way, you paid $800 more for essentially the same vehicle? (Acknowledging the role of rebates/reductions.) Agree that will squeeze 2018 owners for a bit, but seems like an effective price increase to me from the dealer's standpoint.

I'd like to know also. The guy says that in every thread yet the 3 dealer's I've talked to say there is no such thing

From Donald Trump. Do you not watch the news. He slapped 25% Tarriff on many country's and Canada is one of them. And there president did the same to us for goods going to their country. Maybe has not taken effect yet. Probably first of next year. Or maybe it will all blow over. Trump changes his mind daily.

Fake news. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.....get it? Resist....:roflblack:)

The tariffs are only on selected items or goods, not across the board. Whether or not BRP products are included, I don't know.
 
jcthorne said:
BRP effectively reduced the price of 2018 and prior models by adding a $5500 rebate to them. The dealers are NOT stuck with them at old pricing. Advertised pricing on left over 2018s are very enticing right now.

I just went through the dealer dance attempting to buy a 2018 F3L and there was no rebate. According to the dealer the rebate is only on selected models. I was also looking at an F3T and there was no rebate on that model either. The dealer says the way Can Am does the rebates is weird also. They can only tell which model has a rebate by actually plugging the VIN into their computer (as if purchasing) and then BRP electronically tells the dealer whether that individual bike has the rebate applied or not. :dontknow:

And, no, I did not submit an email to BRP directly on their pre-registration program.

The rebate offer is on BRP web site and includes F3T and F3L models. There are dealers advertising F3T as low as 16500.....

Your dealer is trying to take advantage of you again.
 
2019 RTL

I went to the BRP website, built a RTL w same equipment that’s on my ‘18. MSRP was about the same. However I do feel it was smart of BRP to do this...”sell the sizzle not the steak”. Lower starting price will most likely get more people in the door, that’s when dealers/salesman can explain the extra equipment they may want to buy. I’m still getting used to posting pics on this forum, gonna try to post pic of 2019 RTL I built w the same specs as the ‘18 I own. I didn’t do this comparison on F3’s. I bought my Spyder for my wife and I, so I’m a RT guy.

Pic

For some reason I couldn’t post a screenshot of the 2019 Build, so I took a pic of the screen w my phone and was able to attach that, but it’s sideways. Lol. I’ll eventually get the hang of adding pics to this forum. Someone who bought a 2018 F3 should Build a 2019 w features their 18 came with, standard. I just like comparing apples to apples.
‘Have a great day everyone.

Want to know about Trump's Tariffs?

Here is a link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_tariffs

It's tariffs on aluminum and steel.

He is threatening on vehicle imports now too. I don't know if that effects the Spyder yet since it's not clear.

It's steel and aluminum coming "IN" to the US from Canada. Those should not effect Spyder manufacturing since it's Canada's steel and aluminum.
