• 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.

F3 Arizona dealer

Just talked to a Arizona dealer who has 3 F3's on order. Prices are about $800.00 over BRP posted net prices.He states he will be
getting them in January. So far so good. Now the clencher he wants a $1000.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit. Sorry I want a F3 but I do want to see one and test drive one first. So maybe I will look elsewhere for a new F3. Yes I am spyderless at this
time but I can wait awhile longer.
 
ask him to order one with what you want on it. than if you don't like it when it comes in i am sure he can sell it. no money down till you see one in person
 
DISAGREE

I disagree... tell'm you're going to another dealer that is more realistic...

I have a feeling F3's are going to be all over the place. Predatory pricing up front = red flags to me. There are going to be plenty of dealers eager and willing to sell.
 
Here's the thing..!!

there are plenty dealers call around till you get what you want...last year for all the hype of the new RT pre order etc folks that did not pre order were getting earlier than those that did....:thumbup:
 
Found a dealer here in ca. That wanted to take my business from another dealer and only asked for 500.00 and it was refundable...so here is the kicker...I said give me a quote on the same build so I can see what you are offering. Wanted to know what my other bid was...no, I don't play that game ( he may have been under, but if my bid was more he doesn't have to come down). Back to the kicker part. He tells me sure, I will do that and call you back. I said when? He says d, like in an hour! So here it is 5 days later...no call. I placed the order with another dealer who actually wanted my $25,000 cash deal on the F3-S. These young kids don't seem to understand follow up. Say what you do, and do what you say.
 
ha! I didn't even ask about the refundability of the deposit ($500 for me). They know how I drive, and they knew it would be the right ride for me. We chatted about it for a bit and I was sold. I've already ordered all the extras so it'll be built from the get-go with my accessories (including my powerlet outlet for the heated gear). I guess I could have shopped around, but I don't want anyone but Matt building my new F3. I trust him.

I am getting ready to buy my fourth spyder and still feel that buying from a dealer you trust is the single most important feature of the buying decision
 
I agree

The F3 will be my 5th Spyder, all from the same dealer, they would have to shut down before I go anywhere else. They are a Husband and Wife Team, early 30's, been selling bikes, PWC, Spyders etc for over 10 years, you are treated like a friend, not just a customer, and they pride themselves in giving great service, and selling you what suits you/your budget, not what they want to get rid of.

Also a little biased towards them as I have been helping out in their Showroom on Saturdays for the last year or so, it doesn't seem like work, as I get to talk Spyders etc all day.

Cheska if you are from BC why don't you buy from a closer dealer like Lifestyles in Mount Vernon Washington they are advertising 250 dollars down and if you order by October 28th you get an extended warranty as well:thumbup: and they have the best mechanic and service around so you can bet your new F-3 will be put together correctly.

Chuck we spend 4-6 months a year in Arizona. So I wanted to get something close to us when we are down here. Also we are not in a hurry. I have signed myself and wife up for a F3 test ride Dec 5th. That will help us make a decision.
 
I kinda figured you must be a snow bird.
we like to spend a little time boating up in BC mainly the Gulf Islands.
good luck on your latest quest for a new Spyder the F3 sure looks interesting.
 
Aw, come on. . . Please

Which AZ dealer were you talking to? I'm not about to buy an F3 but I am curious as to what the local dealers are saying.

:cheers:

He needs to take a reality check! Find another dealer!
 
Yeah, mine required a 1000.00 Non Refundable also. If for whatever the reason I don't pick it up I'm not really worried. I ordered a stock, no whistles, no bells F3-S. Like they are going to have a problem. Or in their words, "we don't want to get stuck with something we can't sell" really?
 
:shocked: I find it amazing that the dealers are trying to get away with this... and ARE! :gaah:
Realizing that this was a whole year, and a different bike...
I went ot my dealer last September (2013); ordered my RT LImited, and I had to insist, that I bring him my 2010... for "safekeeping".
He'd have done the deal on nothing but my good looks, and a handshake!
Scary; isn't it? :shocked:
