so are you ready for pricing

[Can-Am Poogs]

It could be me, but I am not surprised a dealer offered you low wholesale value on a trade in. I am surprised they offered you high retail on a purchase for low wholesale on a trade. Most try to dazzle you with the retail while offering you the basement on a trade to try and close a deal. Dealers will try and manage the difference. Let's face it. They take the risk on your trade. However lets also face the fact they will make money on the sale of the trade in and the new sale. Want to beat the game, then sell privately. Then go in and negotiate the best price you can on a new purchase.

Sell it privately. To me that seems the best thing to do...especially since you're, apparently, surrounded by bad dealers.

i did

i did a ton of work to put the veritka trike vents on it, so now i wait for warm weather to see if it worked

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

I went to my can-am dealership in Vermont last month, and they said that the trade- in value for my 2012 RT-S SE5 would be $15,000.00, and if i did a private sale to start @ $17,000.00 ( i have low mileage) I have all winter to think about if i want to trade mind for a 2014' RT S SE6. The 2014's wont show up until Feb. Deanna777

Your dealer is crazy. Your bike is worth more than that, especially in three months, when the market picks back up again.

:agree: Now is about the worst time of the year to talk tradi-ins... Try in the Spring, as the market starts waking up! :thumbup:

2013 RT's are WORTHLESS with all the Heat Issues. :yikes:I am still waiting and holding my breath to here from BRP on how they are going to fix mine....:dontknow:

I have no "heat issues" with my late 2013 and am quite happy with it. 2013's have extra heat foil that is very effective on my RTS.Jack

 

[spydaman60]

Right now, with all the buzz on the 2014 in everyone's mind, I'm afraid the trade in price for a used Spyder is very low.
I inquired about my 2010 RTSM5 and the trade in value was so low, it's just not worth upgrading to a 2014.

unless you want to keep the old one in the garage for a spare!!:yikes: happy new year steve!!!

 

[jaherbst]

This year it is $6,000

It was $3000 plus an extra two year extension on the warranty. Anything above that was absorbed by the dealer. I just bought a new 2013 with all factory options (RTS SE5) for $21,051 With taxes etc. OTD $23,461.15.Jack

If you keep holding your breath you're gonna keel over. BRP's position with me after two letters to the CEO and 4 telephone conversations with 2 different "representatives of the CEO" is to "wait until the Spyder comes out of storage in the spring and see if it still has heat issues, gas fumes, etc." Like winterizing and storing it is going to magically solve the problems. Boy, do I wish it would.:banghead::banghead:

 

[oldguyinTX]

I went to nhtsa.gov to view recall on 2013 Spyders. Only the one we all know about for the brake issue. There is a place on their website for lodging complaints. So far there are 15. Maybe if more people complained to NHTSA, some pressure could be brought to bear against BRP to finally and totally solve the problems that they would much rather ignore. Just sayin.

 

[Bob Denman]

How do you inow for sure that what has been done; HASN'T solved the problem? :dontknow:

 

[cuznjohn]

bob

does your boss know your always on here

She can see the screen from her desk... :shocked:

We ride a 13 RTS SE5.that the Red Head bought last June because her son told her that she should spend some of her money so she shelled out 33,000 cash for the RT.We are both 74 years old so she has no desire to learn how to ride,so when she is along, we take her Spyder.I ride a 1300cc Yamahaw.I might not know what a heat problem is.That 1300 will flat cook you when in town and the temp is over 80.When they did the recall for heat,there was a very small spot on the canester but none on the master cylinder.I thought it would be worse because we were out west for 15 days the last of june.Rode to Los Vages and spent two weeks ridding home.A little over 6000 miles and most days it was 100 degrees or above.We were not as hot on the Spyder as my buddies were on their Harleys.We enjoy the Spyder.The Red head leaves the second of Jan.for Fla. and will be there until Aprial.I am going to ride the Spyder down the middle of Feb and stay until the middle of Mar.I hope that First Gear suite that I just bought from Ron works as well as they say.It will probley be cold here in Ohio when I leave.

There is only 3 dealerships that I know of in The State of Vermont( they are in : Derby,Vt, Essex Junction ,Vt, Rutland, Vt) So I have decided not to Sell/ or trade my :spyder2: . If I did trade my :spyder2: I would go to New Hampshire to deal with the Dealerships there. Thanks for the info.

lets hope

There is one possible scenario which could markedly improve used prices... The engine on the 2014 has even worse problems than the 2013. Examples... Transmission failures, belt breakages, valve problems, piston seizures... Anything could happen.

lets hope that this never happens to the new owners. the company would take a big hit and us 13 owners would never see a fix for our bikes. i really feel that when BRP did the survey on us 13 owners they took a look at all the complaints to make sure they did the right things on the 14's.
