Question about a new leftover 2010

[motoolfan]

What do you all think I could get one otd? I'm not sure the kbb's price would be accurate, since they are expecting it to be used. I'm looking at getting one and like everyone, would like to get it for the best deal.

Thanks,

[Jeremy Mitchell]

Between 10 and 11 grand OTD would be a good deal IMO.  KBB isn't worth the paper it is written on in a buyer's market like it is now.

Thanks Jeremy, That's what I was thinking. They are wanting 15,299 for it. Now time to haggle, via email.

Full MSRP on a three year old bike?  Good luck with your negotiations.  If they don't want to deal, you shouldn't have much of an issue getting a good deal elsewhere as long as you don't mind doing a fly and ride.

He says as he quotes a price higher than KBB, which would account for the new/used difference.

I actually didn't even look at KBB, I looked at a couple current listings on ebay and cycle trader to see what they are going for currently (no 2010's on ebay). 

Just for giggles I went to KBB after I saw your post and they listed a 2010 C14 (ABS & KTRAC) for $10,375.

I think my estimate is pretty close to what a good deal could be had for.  I'm not saying that he will get that good of a deal but that is probably a pretty good number to shoot for.  If a dealer is motivated to move a three year old bike off the floor then the buyer should have a good chance at making a favorable deal.

  I was/am agreeing with your price estimate, just disagreeing with your evaluation of KBB.   I'd think that a new bike would be worth a little more than KBB retail, but not the $5k they are asking.

On a side topic, we all seem to love our C14's, but can't stand to see them be considered valuable.

I gave 13,800 new for my '10 after it just hit the sales floor.  maybe it was 13,200 I don't remember. but it was worth the fly n ride

I bought a left over 2011 a couple weeks ago, $12999 for the bike, $143XX OTD with tax and license.

Asking 15k for a bike that's been sitting in a box/on a floor for 3 years seems nearly criminal. I guess they aren't all that anxious to move it.

You can get a 2012 for that price, unless you're really partial to the blue. Make sure it's ABS too. I think the all ABS thing didn't start til 2011.

[JeffM]

OH, also if you're a Costco member (become one if you aren't), they'll work a 13,200ish deal if I remember right on your behalf without negotiation for member dealerships. That's the route I'm going to be taking.

[motoolfan]

Thanks for the info guys.

[Pokey]

That dealer is dreaming if they think they are gonna get that price for an 010.

[Xelvic]

New 2012's are going for 12,800 in my area. That doesn't include Tax/title/tags.

ABS in 2010. Matter of fact the '10 has the same features as '11 and '12.

It should still be given away since its now 2012 hehe

ABS was available on the 08s, but was standard starting on the 10s.

[rush2112]

Not quite apples to apples, but I bought my 2009 in March of 2010 and paid $10,700 OTD.

Price check aisle 5.........actually it was an option on the 2010 model and became standard on 2011 models.
