RT Pricing

pricing

I agree that this is a new model and asking for a discount might be out of the question till there is stock on the floor for awhile. That being said I got my 09 phantom for 15,000.00 out the door and I beleive list was around 19,000?? thats what I recall, and I could have had a 09 sm5 for standard model for 1500.00 less than that, both of which I felt were good solid deals.

I bought the original Spyder, PE #600 for the $14995 PLUS TAX, TAG TITLE ETC. Put the deposit down in March, 2007 and took delivery in December, 2007. I was entranced by the looks of the rig. Sort of like a mini space ship. Totally unique. The new RT doesn't ring my bell at all. I am not a long haul rider, so the original Spyder does me just fine. I hope the new RT is everything everyone wants it to be, but I will just stick to my Spyder as she sits now. Having said all that, I will follow avidly all the reports of test rides and experiences of new owners when the RT is released.

Buen suerte, amigos!

That's what I'm pretty much finding out. The rt-s looks like out the door will be close to $4000 more then msrp. I did contact a dealer in Alabama that is checking a few things out and may be able to do something but we'll see.

Thanks for the help,

Man $30,000 out the door! That is close to double...man I wish I won the lottery..I would love one, but I can't justify $30,000....darn

Well actually I was quoted $28500 out the door for the rt-s. I think msrp is 24500 or 24900.

ordered mine

ordered mine on the first day. RTS with the trailer. Everyone around keeps asking me if I will sell my 08. No plans on getting rid of it! I will probably end up trying to sell some of the extra accessories and stock items.
(2) original seats. (2) extra full sets of panels,(5) windsheilds lots of extras. Learned and bought over this last year and still planning on upgrades for the 08. will get full list together and post on the fore sale board soon.

Congratulations! I have contacted 3 different dealers to try and pre-order and have not heard back from a single one. I did get a price from one but he was unsure on taking an order.

Are you telling me that dealers are not selling these at msrp?

I've got a call into our local dealer here in Wilmington, Illinois, and I've yet to hear back from him. But if he quotes me anything over the msrp, then I'll have to pass.

Is that "normal" for dealers to do that?

For the one quote I did receive it was msrp plus 300 doc fee plus 1300 setup plus tax and tag. Total was $28500 for the rt-s.

On "hot" vehicles, especially cars, dealerships will charge over MSRP and they'll get it because some people will pay whatever it takes to get a vehicle they want. Capitalism 101 - the law of supply and demand.

Also, just like when the Spyder first came out. We all payed MSRP plus whatever our state tax was and whatever our individual dealer delivery and set up fees were. I remember Brian and I paid a little over $16,000 out the door and folks in CA were paying between $18000-$20000 due to hugh delivery and set up fees. There will eventually be deals to be had, but don't look for them in the beginning, I do believe they will be few and far between. As but mentioned, capitalism and supply and demand are big components here.

Yepper. I love Capitalism, and understand all about supply and demand. But I'm one of those people that just don't like to pay OVER msrp. Heck, I don't even like paying msrp!

I'm going to give my dealer a call and let you all know what I find out.

So you're looking at an RT now or are you still considering getting the RS SE5?

Are you kidding? After seeing this new touring model, I'm completely sold on that! This is P-E-R-F-E-C-T for me, and a vehicle that I have ALWAYS wanted and dreamed of. The way that you can sit upright and the overall look of it is simply incredible. I'm in love with this thing...seriously!

So, yes, I am definitely desiring to get the RT version. Now I just have to get the money! LOL! But that just means I have to build a lot of websites for people to EARN the money. Shouldn't be a huge problem.... I hope.

Actually, I have it posted at the forum I own for the other vehicle I'm waiting on.... http://flytheroadclub.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=15224#post15224

:agree:
Yupper- we all paid around the $14,995.00 MSRP + prep, tax, etc...
Some states like CA were charging much more--- and the MSRP went up $500 not too long after we all go ours.

While I'm not really looking at the RT--- $25K for a bike loaded like that thing is---- is a heck of deal. Try getting an HD or GW loaded like that---- especially if you want a trike--- and you'll pay a lot more.

The real deals will be on 2008 and 2009 models right now.

Spending over $25K on any "motorcycle" is just plain nuts. Maybe some of you have money to burn, but I prefer to buy waterfront properties instead. Wait a while (winter is coming) and save yourself $10K

my ex wife gets double that per year ... i'd rather spend it on 2 spyders

Waterfront (Oceanfront!) property in Arizona? LOL!

Amen, brother! It's all relative. There's people buying vehicles every day of the week for $20 + thousand dollars. Well, this is far more than a vehicle.... it's something that can make you feel GOOD about driving around. What kind of price can you put on that? To me, around 25k!

BRP didn't only hit a home run with this RT model, but they hit a GRAND SLAM! :2thumbs:

MSRP.. The S stands for Suggested...

 

[aka1004]

price i am willing to pay for rt a/c or rt-s will depend on what i see at the spyders in smokies and lamonts report on acceleration on rt.
only thing stand between me and rt will be too much loss of acceleration and high position of handlebar. if i like what i see at the smokies i will go ahead and order(at msrp) but even if it's just little bit iffy, i will wait till dealer gets them on their floor.
i do like the sportyness of the spyder but since spyder now is my only transportation and i like to take long trips, i do need all the things rt has to offer but i am only willing to take so much sacrifice on performance as i ryde my spyder like i am on a crotch rocket.

on the first spyder price was not an issue for a revolutionary machine like this but rt or rt-s is another story. i know it's goldwing on three wheels at a decent price but still we are pushing 30k. by the way, i don't think comparison to goldwing or how goldwing-like rt is a insult when you consider it's goldwing!!!
