Good deal or should I hold out

[Cruzn6]

Just got off the phone with a dealer I've been talking to. 2017 roadster black/red. Backrest and luggage rack included (I'll install to save some more $$). 13,800. He's out of state so no tax (I'll have to pay that out of pocket to MD- @$1000 tax tag title). Was thinking about trying to get him down to 13,500. If I jump on it, it's $500 down over the phone. Financing through him (comparable to local credit union).

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good deal to me. I paid more for my 2014... Good luck

I know we always look for the best deal, but when you are buying new it is important to consider the dealer reputation.

I agree. I asked around for good dealers before I started looking and then took that list and started shopping for the best deal from that.

Check this out at National Powersports: National Powersports Distributors
They are selling new 2017 Roadsters for $10,999 plus shipping. Shipping was quoted as $500 to Ohio. No other fees or charges. I was all set to do this deal when a local dealer beat this deal on a new 2016; still can't believe I bought this bike so cheap. Since you live fairly close, you could save the shipping charges and ride the bike home!

That is the identical bike see VIN that is in this eBay listing

If you want it anyway keep bidding until you reach the Reserve which may well be less than the SALE: $10999 asking price at the moment. If no one overbids you get it for even less, if they overbid you or it gets close to or exceeds the SALE: $10999 asking price just buy it outright before the auction ends.

A simple version of 'Game Theory' or 'Deal Strategy'

I did not hackle or shop around. First one I found that was actually at the dealership I bought it. Several dealerships in Oklahoma and Texas advertised that they had one but did not. ( 2015 Rocket X)

Probably wouldn't have haggled anyway...no need to when its a special edition and not enough to go around.

Stolen from elsewhere but seems apt:

A guy in my town was selling a 2015 for the same price. Unless he's hiding something from you go for it...
