Price for a 2014???

[superjim_imp]

My new leftover 2014 black beauty was $5,999.00. I got the last one in Florida. Life is all about timing with a little luck. OTD drive away price with all new fluids, battery, helmet, and 5 year Honda unlimited mileage transferrable warranty was 8K. Happy

I got the same deal in Florida about 3 months ago.

Thanks, that's great info. I found a new leftover 2014 near me today. They had it marked down to $6,999. I showed them that info and they agreed to match that price. Yea, I'm ready to write the check.....but then they started adding their dealer fees: Freight - $797.00 Now just how many motorcycles ship on a truck at one time? Say 20? That would be $15,940 for shipping on that truck. Someone is making some extra profit on freight. Then dealer prep - $373.00. Really? Let's see, unload the crate with a fork lift, install handlebars, add oil, check tire pressure, take crate to dumpster...How long did that take? Let's say 1 hour to be conservative. OK, charge me $75.00 an hour. What's the other $298 for? I know, the book says charge 5 hours labor - Someone is making extra profit on prep. Then add document and admin fees to write up the paper and fill out the title - $299.00. Really again? Thy pay the admin person about $15.00 an hour. It takes her 30 minutes at most. Ok round it to an hour and charge me $15.00. Someone is making extra profit on admin fees. Total price came to $7,481.00 and that didn't include sales tax. Nope: Had to walk away.

My logic is: if you can get a used 2014 with low miles OTD for $5,500, How much more is a new one with no miles worth? Six months later after riding each one of them 1,000 miles, they are both used. Is the one with 1,000 miles really worth more than the one with 2,000 or 3,000 miles? Maybe a couple hundred on a good day but most likely it's negligible.

They also had a used one with only 205 miles but they were underwater on that one. They could loose money and still not be any better on the pricing than the new one.

Oh well, still Christmas shopping for now

If I keep waiting I may break this fever before I shell out the cash. I'm already thinking I don't really NEED another motorcycle.
