Newbie Question - is this F3-T worth it or not?

[Mason417]

I have the opportunity to buy a brand new 2022 F3T Glacier Blue, OTD $26,057.00. Here in Florida. Worth it or not? Thanks all.

Worth it? That is determined on your scale of value. If you're asking is that a fair price? The answer is probably, yes. A few years ago, I'd say shop around for sure. That price is probably what you could have gotten a new 2020 RT/RTL for 2020. However, prices are high at most, if not all places that I've seen recently. Based on the posts on the forum about prices for Spyders and Rykers, I'd say it isn't a great price, but it isn't a bad price. The BRP site have them starting at $21,999.
You didn't give much info other than model and price. Are there any added options to this F3T that doesn't come standard???
Once you add on your taxes, dealer fee, etc; the price you are being told isn't too bad. Not sure what taxes are there, or what dealer fees are, but they can both easily add several thousand dollars to the price. You aren't going to be able to do much with taxes outside of having a lower priced machine.
You may be able to get a better deal on negotiating dealer fees.

I understand the market is what dictates the price. the one I am looking at is just the base model of no add ons for the F3T. the base price msrp is $21,999. they are adding freight $999.00 and Setup $999.00 total of $23,997. then after tax, new tag and tittle plus admin fees. its OTD $26,000. I agree what is value to what the person feels but there has to be a limit of not paying crazy prices either. I live in Florida and my local sales tax is 8.5%

Possibly. My advice to a Newbie is, if you have the expendable cash, go for it. Gaining experience in itself has value. On the other hand, if you foresee issues with the cost, insurance, warranties, and so on, I recommend you latch on to an existing owner and seek their advice and experiences. As for myself, knowing what I know now, I'd begin by researching and owning a used vehicle in Florida purchased out of state. Some states have rules about that. Then I'd ask questions of owners seeking their advice and what to look out for as you have done here. There are many excellent buys out there to be had if you search for them. In short, I'd find a good purchase, get it, and ride it home from anywhere I found it. Good luck and happy hunting.

My personal opinion is that sticker price is a good price right now. Doesn’t seem like there is much room if any to negotiate down. I think what you were quoted is a decent price. I pulled the trigger this year as I think prices for next year model will be going up.

 

[JohnRuckus]

Yeah. That isn't bad. I don't like the fees, but that is a fair price in this market.Maybe you can negotiate a little on the fees and maybe save $500-1,000. Overall, not bad though. If you can afford it and you want it, might as well get it. Just my 2 cents. If you pull the trigger, post pics

Negotiate in a 3yr extended warranty also. I don't think you'll be sorry. There are posts here where 3yr warranties can be bought for less than a thousand dollars. Check it out. Again, good luck.
