Thinking hard about getting back into the spyder fun

[Pappy and Nanna]

I have almost talked myself into getting another Spyder since the Rt now is 6 speed and 1330 power plant. Talk to dealer today and he still has a 14 s at what sounds like a good price $22400 plus ttl. I was holding off for the 15 thinking give them a year to debug. My question was there any bugs in the 14's I really didn't hear about any? And is that as good of a price on a 14 as it sounds like?

The 14's have been pretty much trouble free. Make sure he checks for updates. The ignition key was a problem on a small batch. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

the 2014s were pretty-much trouble-free...
Tom mentioned some ignition switch and/or key trouble.
Others have complained about noisey fuel pumps...
there were some oil leaks very early in production...

When you figure all of the improvements done to the RTs; these new bikes ROCK!! :thumbup:

The OP have laid it out very concisely for you. Unless you absolutely must have a 2015 color you have a good price to start at with a '14 S. Maybe you can pinch a bit more but the after sale service quality should weigh as heavily as the OTD price. JMO.

I love my 14 RTS, performance is HIGH. I have had personally no problems with mine.
Service intervals are unreasonably long, use discretion there.
That price sounds good ! you didn't mention SE6 or SM6, Think you will be glad you held out for the 1330 platform.

What color you getting Pappy??? I think that's a great price for the 14 s, SE6. Sounds tough to beat....

PRICE

I want you to get the best price possible ......even if this RT-S is a semi-auto IMHO , I think the price should be less.......Remember a 2014 is now a LEFT-OVER.........go to KBB or NADA and see what the price is there for a used one .......In May 2014 I paid $21,340 for a NEW RT se-6......Basic..............call around and check the dealer's on E-Bay...........................Good Luck , Mike :thumbup:

All good....

most all the issues have been addressed and you should have no problems. The maintenance is very little on these machines and sounds like a good price...go for it you will like it. Test ryde it and you'll see...:thumbup:

I've got 43,600 miles on mine with not problems. Is the dealer offering any extended warranty with the purchase? I'd try to get 2 or 3 years BEST thrown in.

In addition to the problems already mentioned.
Depending on VIN
Gas Cap
Bushings & Bolts holding Windscreen to lift arms.

Have the dealer check the VIN against the Service Bulletins.

That's a pretty good deal. The 6 speed and 1330 are great compared to the pre 2014's. You will not be disappointed. No glitches or problems cropping up. I have 12,000 trouble free miles on my 2014 RT-S. Others have many more miles with same results.

I agree with most of the other posters about the quality of the '14s and the deal. But I would try to get them to sweeten the deal. An extended warranty would be great. If it hasn't already been laser-aligned, have them do that.

Thanks for all the info and thoughts on pricing. I felt it was a good price and think i will see if they will throw in a couple of extras. The one they have is an rts se6
