So I'm in the market for a new deluxe but not sure if at this point I should just wait for the 2015s to come out (assuming they do but that is on another thread) for the price to drop more on the 2014s. No rush since the weather here sucks anyway and I won't really be riding it until spring.
I'd *really* like to test drive one first but the dealer that has one on the floor said if we came to an agreement on price and I agreed to buy it then and only then could I test drive it. The MSRP with freight and tax etc came to $13.7k and the lowest I could talk him down was $12.3K otd. I'd like to pay something south of $11.5K but at this point maybe I'm just being stingy. (I'm one of those a**holes that wants to get "a deal"). The weird part is that if I'd been able to ride it to make sure that it's all that I think it is, he probably would have had me sold on it easily.
There are several dealers around the Pacific Northwest that have them in stock but not assembled and no one I've found is willing to put one together just for a test ride. I can understand that.
Do you think I should wait for the price to drop or pull the trigger?
So in general the answer to my own question is "well if the bike is worth $12.3K to me then I should buy it" but does anyone else have any words of wisdom for someone on the fence?
thanks.
