I have been watching from the sidelines for about a month, contemplation the purchase of a new 2011 RTS SE5 or Limited. I have decided to take the plunge and purchase. Of coarse over the past month the supply of these models at my local dealer have dropped to the point that they will have to bring in one from other dealers.
I was told the BRP has stopped production on the 2011 models so they won't be getting any new stock from the manufacturer.
I understand that the price one pays for any Spyder is subject to supply and demand, time of year purchased (pre season, in season and post season), region of country, etc.
My question is, based on personal experience or first hand knowledge, can I expect to pay list price or will I be able to possibly get any discount off of list? and if so approx. how much off?
I don't want to leave the dealership with "Sucker" written all over my face if most dealers are discounting off of list during peak season.
I too have been looking. Central Florida seems to have the best deals. They are talking BRP discounts, no delivery and setup charges. They tellme the time to buy is now.
Purchased the RT limited on Long Island last week. We were able to get $2000. off the list price. Also they gave us one helmet free. You can still wheel and deal on accessories if they won,t come down on the bike. Good luck!!
I just bought my RTS SE5 4 days ago. Got it for $29K out the door, and 20% off all accessories. I'm happy with the price. Cheaper than any other dealer in SoCal. I too found the supply low in my area. Best purchase I've made. You will love it too! Good luck
If you're happy with the bike and the dealership... just enjoy the ryde... The initial purchase of the bike should be the smallest part of the bargain. You need a dealer that you trust and have a great working relationship with...

It's the enjoyment not the price you pay that makes it all worth while.

Well, after reading what others had posted here and other forums, today I decided to "pull the trigger" and go purchase a 2011 Limited. Went in with high hopes, left disappointed.
First, I do understand dealerships need to pay their overhead and make a profit. That said, I negotiated the purchase of the Limited with the 36 month BEST warranty.
As part of the deal I was also going to purchase an outdoor cover, new helmets, blue tooth headsets, which they were going to discount 10%. This was going to be a separate transaction but was not real happy with that part of the deal but was willing to go there if they met my price on the Spyder.
Out the door price is just over $30,800. I had gone in planning to spend no more than $30,500, but they would not budge, so I walked.
Was I being unreasonable?
Also, I had requested getting a 12v plug added to the glove box. They were going to charge almost $200. Seemed high and probably would have passed if we had made a deal on the ride.
then you won't get anymore this year. each dealer is only allowed a few of them.
$30k would be a steal as far as I am concerned.
The base price with no options in Canada is $31,500
Mine is going to cost about 37K will all factory options and light mods.
Helmets and intercom systems are being thrown in no charge and so is satellite radio as they made a mistake and thought it was included
For me personally I would pay the $300 but that's me
