• 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.

Saving for a used spyder

Whatever works is the way I go...

When I bought my '10 I had saved up for "life unexpecteds"...and trust me when I say me buying a Spyder qualified as an 'unexpected'. So able to write check. Then I "wrote" myself a 4 year contract and put that amount away each and every month, just as if I was paying a lendor. By then I knew there would always be a Spyder in my life....My goal was replace the '10 in 2015...but then BRP came out with the 1330 engine and the I WANT IT NOW kicked in. Decision was made to buy...then I looked for best deal (Pitbull Powersports in Springfield, MO got the deal). Then I looked at what I was 'earning' on my $ and went shopping. Found a Credit Union in CA that didn't care where I lived and gave me a 1.49 interest rate and no loan/processing fees. I was making 3% on my savings so it became a no brainer. Yep I make a monthly auto payment...but absolutely no regrets on getting the 1330 (14 months and 34k miles later and it still rates :thumbup::thumbup:).
Each individual has to decide what works for their situation: First your projected budget (and remember it takes $ to support a Spyder..unless you are a gifted mechanic!!..I'm not). After you set that amount and start putting toward it each and every payday...then you find the Spyder model that will fit into that budget. I personally experience as well as have observed for lifetime...if a person reallllly desires something they will make it happen. :yikes: or :yes:
 
I may get a few laughs at my expense, but I really don't care.

I just wanted to ask if anyone has any tips on saving up money for a used Spyder. I am currently employed and I wanted to know how much anyone else put to the side in their saving process. Thank you.
Another thing to consider doing is set up a savings account, maybe even in a different bank or credit union, and have part of your paycheck automatically deposited there. Have either your employer do it or set up an automatic transfer from your bank account. Years ago I did this to in order to have money available for bills such as the every six month car insurance bill or annual property tax bill. It seemed we could never accumulate enough in our regular checking account for non-monthly bills.
 
Just pay it full so you don't have to worry any loan payments. Good luck and you already have so many advice. Good luck.
