Dealer With Two New CB's - redbirds_imp - 06-24-2015
We were in Statesboro, GA today and stopped in at the Honda dealer to say howdy and check out what was in the showroom. A new 2013 CB1100 was there and is in fact the same bike that was there when I stopped by two years ago. They also have a second 2013 demo with just a few hundred miles on it. I bought my 2005 ST1300 at this dealer and they are nice folks. I was told that a reasonable offer will get these bikes as they need to move them. Could be a good deal for someone still trying to locate a CB.

Could be...but "might" be a tortuous negotiation. On their website, they list the new '13 for sale at $9,999. I understand that was the MSRP back then, but it hasn't been the real world price forever.
They are doing themselves and their customers a disservice if they don't update their website pricing or try to negotiate down from that price.
IMHO, of course!
(And their site shows other unit pricing at MSRPs that are no longer valid so it's most likely not a typo or "mistake".)

Yeah, $9999 for a new 13' isn't going to cut it, but they did sound like they were entertaining offers?

That's their advertised price not the price you would actually pay. The dealer in Jacksonville advertised full price when I bought mine but my final price was far less.

Glad that someone will get a CB1100 for a lower price, but this seems like it kind of seals the fate of the model in the US. Dealers 'can't get rid of them', and on this site a number of people have been selling theirs off in order to get something different. Though there are fewer new 'sayonara CB' posts showing up, most of the sellers seem to have been those that 'get it', understand what the bike is, yet still would rather have something else instead..
we few, we happy few :-)

I get that. I was making a different point. "Why" would a dealer advertise a three-year-old price on their website and make it appear current? That's not a rhetorical question. There is nothing there to indicate it might sell for less. I'm looking for an answer that doesn't suggest laziness or greed. A "mistake" isn't the answer unless their website is full of similar mistakes.
We just sold our first 2016 Honda model something else today. So it is not unfair to say that posted price is three years old. Where else on the internet do you find such pricing discrepancies on things costing $10,000? And is it an excuse that works for these folks?

There may be persons who, for whatever reason, were not in the market for such a cycle three years ago. They could be now - new job; new rider getting rid of a trainer; whatever.
No accounting for it. Cycle and buyer didn't come together in years past, but now they're ready.
They lose nothing by asking full price and then negotiating. But if someone who really wants one finds one marked-down...when he's hot to buy even at sticker...that's lost money.

Probably why they still have two in stock.
It's just a pricing/marketing model I don't understand. But then I don't "have" to understand. It's their store.They can darn well do as they please!
