• 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.

OTD Price on ST-S?

Got some numbers.

OK, the dealer gave me some numbers today. Basically - 21,799 for the ST-S SE, $320 for install of heated grips, $750 shipping+ 1239 tx. (the tax is discounted for my $4,500 trade in). So.....as I figure it, it is $24,108 (not including the trade in). No mention of extended warranty. :O(

I can put an additional $5,000 down + the trade in. I will have to make payments so that is a factor, but don't feel they are giving me much of a deal.

Nothing like what some of you are getting. Any of you willing to name the dealers you used?
 
Shifty49 I purchased the ST Limited with extended warranty and chrome upper and lower wind deflectors OTD for $26,000 in NC. I hope this helps. If you would like to know dealer let me know, they also have an awesome service department.
 
Hondas I have owned and loved.

Shifty49 what Hondas have you been riding? My husband rides a Valkyrie

Started out many moons ago, with a Honda Passport (50cc). Back in the day you could put .35 worth of gas and run it all week. In 1971 I bought a Honda CB100, spanking new off the showroom floor for $420.00. ( I still have it). After a time of not riding, I felt the urge again, but wanted a bike with electric start. So found a really good deal on a 2004 Rebel. After joining an all women's motorcycle group I figured I needed more CCs so I got another good deal on a 2008 Honda Shadow Aero. I also, just for fun, got a Honda Metropolitan. Not as easy on gas as the Passport, but pretty good for running to town, and to take camping.

At this point, I guess I should mention, that I am only 4'9" tall, and wear a size 2 shoe....so....I have to modify most of what I ride/drive. I put a heel/toe shifter w/ floorboards on my Rebel as I need a higher heel on my boots to reach the ground, but then my instep is on the peg, and my toe was not long enough to reach the shifter. I lowered my Aero 2 1/2 " in the back and 2" in the front. I built up the brake pedal so I could reach it, but it is a stretch to reach the pegs. One of the reasons I am looking to the Spyder is I don't have to struggle to hold it up, or reach the ground. Also I have "arthur" in my hands so the SE transmission, and foot brake are a real bonus. I will be keeping the other bikes and trading in the Aero. Just too heavy for me to manuver.

I went to one of the ones owned by the same people. The extended warranty was already included in the price, and they dealt with me great, added a lot of extras in gear and cover, but my dad also bought a demo unit too which may have helped. Once you have shown to be a serious buyer and able to buy, they will deal in my experience...
 
We just closed a deal on an ST-S SE5. They over allowed on our trade, an '08 GS SE5 to the tune of about $1500 and gave us 10% off accessories and a $100 accessory rebate coupon. All in all, for a brand new, current model year bike I think we got a very fair deal.

Bottom line, most dealers should be able to come off MSRP by $1000 - $1500 without batting an eye.

That does not seem like a deal, for what I was told the list on a ST-S SE is $24,999.
 
Great Dealers

I would recommend contacting Len at Pitbull Powersports too... he's located in Springfield, Missouri.

I didn't know Len way back in '09 when I purchased my new '08 GS, so bought from Richard Cupp at Vetesnik in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Great dealer, and I got a great deal. http://www.vetesnik.com

I'm also picking up my first Spyder this weekend, my deal on ST-S SE5 is 21099 out the door... no extra fees... I'll let you know Saturday if they lied..:doorag:

Well, they lied!! :yikes:..( my shocked face )... Lol. Salesman contacted me early Friday and informed me that my bike was sold without his knowledge, but not to worry, he still had a another in "blue". I reminded him that I was purchasing magnesium!
..........Have Mercy!!! :doorag:

KEEP Looking- Their charging you retail Price of 21,799 Plus NEVER pay $750 or Anything for shipping-More than 3 hours labor to install heated grips. Walk away from this one!!nojoke
 
You have got to be kidding..

Unbelievable! How could that happen? I think I would look for another salesman. Is he looking for the one you want? Is he standing by his OTD quote?

I am sure you are disappointed, I would be.
 
Dealer #1

KEEP Looking- Their charging you retail Price of 21,799 Plus NEVER pay $750 or Anything for shipping-More than 3 hours labor to install heated grips. Walk away from this one!!nojoke

Stopped at one of the local (sort of) dealers today, to supposedly find out there "best deal". :o( I don't understand what is so difficult in answering the question..."What is the best deal you can offer me?" (and still make a profit - is understood." NOPE!

One salesman asks the question, " What do you want to pay?" Well, DUH, nothing!

So guess I just pick a number and see if it will fly. Will also meet with the other dealership, so see what they can come up with. Dealer #1 says they will meet any one elses price, but want written proof of the offer.

Dealer #2 has a much nicer dealership, and some Can Am Accessories, plus their service charges are $20 less an hour than #1. #1 is closer to where I live. Dealer #2 - offered me what I want for my trade in, sight unseen. Dealer #1 - wants me to bring it up...which will require trailering since it is way to cold for me to ride.

and so the saga continues....

No Big need to be "Hurry to Buy?" Thats when your most vulnerable! :yikes:Take your time and keep looking and researching so you make the Best possible deal at "Your" terms! You will feel better after!!!nojoke
 
I think when the UNseen, Becomes Seen, the price will change. :shocked:

:agree:

If seriously looking know your price (Fair price -because you have really done your homework in that department) load up the trade and get down to business. Otherwise stay on the porch. Cause it's all barking until you get down to the doted line. jmo
