If you knew then what you know now...what would you have done differently?

[MRH]

I would also suggest 2014 or newer. The ST-S, in my mind, is a nice balance between cost and features. There are no meaningful differences between a 2014, 2015 and 2016, so if you can still find a closeout 2015 that would likely be a good value. I suggest the warranty.

Hi, we are new to SpyderLovers and we are looking to purchase a used Spyder RT to travel around in, go to some festivals and have some fun. :2excited:We have been doing a lot of reading and there is so much to consider! If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently when you bought your Spyder? :helpsmilie:In other words, what do you think we should take into consideration while we are shopping? What are the MUST HAVES?:dontknow: We are a fifty-something chubby couple about 530 lbs (so weight capacity is an issue:yikes that are ready to give up the 2 wheels and get comfy on three. Thanks for responding.

I would suggest get at least get the 2014 model with the 1330 engine. Everyone on this forum will tell you that. Good luck.

I would also second the comment about getting two RTs and staying with the 1330. You should be able to find great deals on a 2014 RT. I would also recommend that you stay away from the 2013 models no matter how tempting the price is. That year was known to have issues.

On the 2013's, the issues really seem to have been fixed, but they may be a far better deal because of it. If price is very important, and if you can find a screaming deal on a 2013 (and can't afford a model year later) then that may be a sweet spot for you.

As to two RT's, perhaps start with one and be sure that is what you want.

I MISS MY EX----BUT MY AIM IS GETTING BETTER!!


We really like our '14 RT-s. Of course some changes have been made ( REALLY). But to answer the origional question:

NOTHING

But the sugestion of two :spyder2:S really seems right given the circumstances.

Make sure you get one that already has driver floorboards. The cost to add them is exorbitant.
