Considering 2014 used RT Limited - please help

[imcheetah]

Big Thank you

Thank you so much for all your input. It's very helpful. We`ve been also considering a new bike on a 0% Finance deal they're offering now, but there isn't much left in new 2015. I guess we have to go and make our decision now...

Happy Hunting! :thumbup:

You might want to have Shawn Smoake at Pro Caliber look at it. He is recognized as one of the best Spyder mechanics in that area.

I would recommend doing some serious research on that particular :spyder2:. Bought it from a college kid just don't seem right. Don't see many of them with $30K to spend on toys.

Have a dealer run the VIN and you can get the actual mechanical history.

Was going to tag you for going for the $195K price, but Mike beat me to it. 19.5K seems in the ballpark.

I have a 2014 RT-S and so far have 23K trouble free miles on it. If you get a good one, you will like it a lot.

Let us know what you do. :thumbup:

"IMHO I would seriously look into the :spyder2: 6K seems to me a little low for having two owners. It could be a great Scoot, just be careful"

Sellers refused to get it looked at

Update: I asked the sellers if they would be OK with a dealer looking at the bike prior to purchasing, and they refused, saying that they are in the middle of a move and don't want to bother with it, and that "there is NOTHING wrong with the bike, it's basically brand new". I guess we have to walk......

Bummer...
But there are other bikes out there: just waiting for the right new owner! :thumbup:

 

[Commander]

I think you made the right decision...Good luck

That's another red flag. Run Forrest Run! No joke. :yes:

:shocked: :agree:

Run Forrest Run!

Based on the two red flags:

"I bought it used from a college kid"

"I am in the middle of a move and you don't need to take it to a dealer because there is nothing wrong with it"

It seems apparent to me, that this particular unit has a bit of a history. Someone who does not do due diligence is probably going to get burned.

My apologies to the seller if I am wrong. Tells us why, and I will gladly delete the negative posts.
