Used Spyder

[bruiser]

So I was on my way home from work today, happened to see a silver and black RS at a cycle dealer in Wilson NC. So thought I'd stop and see who it might be. Whle looking found out it was a trade in. Was talking to the salesman and told him I own an RT S. He's like "WOW Man, can you tell us about these things". So i told him what I knew. So here's the deal, this is a '08 RS PE SM5, has 10,400 on the odometer. But the kicker... won't shift :gaah:. I tried driving it at their request. Shift to second it drops right into neutral. Finally get to third but that's it, then it won't go back to first. I left it parked in third and suggested they get it to a dealer that knows how to work on :spyder2:. I asked them if they checked fluids etc. but they don't know how. Oh, the asking price... 10,500. It had VA inspection stickers on it. And 2 Bros pipe.

I assume that dealer isn't a Spyder dealer :yikes:

No. Hondas, Kawis, 4 wheelers etc. Salesman said former owner traded it for an automatic Honda. I'm wondering if the former owner was a member of this site?????

Just as an aside, I didn't mean to imply that this was not a good dealer. The folks I met were very nice. They just don't deal with :spyder2:
