• 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.

Freight and Handling charges!

Just got a quote from a local dealer that seems a pretty extravagant:
$10,999 - 2019 Ryker Rally
$635 freight
$893 set up/assembly
$145.50 FL tag/registration transfer
$670.19 tax
$199 dealer fee

That is grossly excessive dealer profits! 1st dealer I went to (east coast FL), needed $700 on top of freight and MSRP for assembly & "dealer fees". Found a west coast dealer $200 less. 1st dealer wouldn't budge when I mentioned $200 at another dealer. HAD to get his $700. So he got NOTHING. I even managed to squeeze another $200 from 2nd dealer on trade, when I found a Piaggio dealer nearby interested in my MP3 500. So I saved $400 by shopping around.

When I bought my Polaris Slingshot in 2015, I saved $1,000, simply by shopping around. Waited a few days for one to arrive at a different dealership, rather than getting one immediately available for $1,000 more.

FREIGHT on mine to Ft. Myers was listed at $450, so they are definitely jive talking at $635.
 
imotor sports...base price...less than 200 paper charges...u might get off 500 fees for frieght if you push them....Jason is a good guy to use.
 
Out the door prices are going to vary widely across the country because of different tax rates etc. But what should be the constant should be Price, freight, prep and admin fee's. My dealer is charging MSRP and $99 admin fee, that's it. Of course you will have taxes but that's a variable. Also giving me 10% off accessories at time of delivery. If they were charging freight and prep I would be looking elsewhere as should everyone else.

They make up for it "dealer fees" & "assembly fees".

I suppose others have paid those ….. but in my case the only FEE that I didn't mention was a Document Fee..... If I had to add every possible nuance to my posts, I wouldn't have time to ride :gaah:...……… I think the Thread asked about Freight & Handling, so that's what I addressed ………...…… Mike :ohyea:
 
There are different levels of Dealerships, Silver, Gold, Platinum etc. I wonder if that has something to do with whether they charge freight and prep? Could be Platinum dealers don't have to pay Can Am for freight, not sure though. My dealer is a Platinum Dealer and no freight or prep there. Just a $99 admin fee.

I don't know how it works but my experience. Every dealer I received a quote from had fee/assembly/freight, what I call noise. The one that charged me MSRP out the door was the smallest dealer in a little tiny poe dunk rural town (as we refer to them) in the middle of nowhere with a small showroom. Lower overhead. That's why I bought from them.

After I bought my Rally from them, ran into childhood friend and he said I like those guys (that dealer) because if I'm working on something and come and ask about x they will tell my solution to fix it, vs other dealers say leave it here we'll look at it and charge $.

Yeah, the dealer that offered me $400 less on trade ended up being the one that actually had the $400 LESS out the door!

It will be interesting to see the leasing terms/conditions and how that affects sales. My dealer didn't know the details but it sounded like a standard lease x/miles year with buy out option at end.

I just bought a Ryker yesterday. Delivery/setup/prep was $150. I thought that was fair.

So you got it for $8649 or $10,149 (depending on if a 600 or 900) plus tag & tax out the door? If so, that is fantastic!

Or did they charge you for colored panels, which are SUPPOSED TO be FREE?
 
It was the Rally $10,999. Nope the classic colored panels (I chose adrenaline red which is really orange if you ask me) were free. Plus the $150 freight/setup/prep, Plus tax/tile/registration, plus the accessories I ordered. So, the dealer made a little extra over and above what they normally make on the MSRP sale price. I'm OK with that. I want my dealer to make money as long as I don't feel gouged. I need him to stay in business

Yeah, I'm sure they make more on selling a 900 vs. 600 at MSRP. Especially a non-base model 900.
 
I bought my Rally for $10,200 plus tax and tags. $10,863 total out the door. Went back in March and my brothers purchased 2 more for the same deal. No freight or dealer add on fees of any kind.

Just curious what various dealers are charging (and no, I'm not including the $1500 Service Contract that someone got sucked into!)

I'm ready to put a deposit on a Rally and the dealer in Boerne, TX wants $695 each for shipping and handling. Nine years ago I paid $299 for shipping and $239 for handling on a 2009 Yamaha FJR1300 AE. I'm pretty sure dealers won't budge on prices; Rykers and Rally's in particular are selling too well, but maybe on these 'extra profit' items?
