Reasonable Offer for new F6B/Deluxe

[D-Train]

This is why the used market is so interesting to me...

This is a 2013 with only 4200 miles on it.
Already has an aftermarket Electronic Cruise Control installed.
Cee Bailey and Factory Windscreens.

$10,200 and accepting offers.
This one is another screamin' deal that I would have jumped on.
Plus it's already here in California, which would have saved me another $600 on shipping.

The deals are out there.

Damn, that's an even better deal than I got! Of course I would have still needed to have it shipped and arranged my own financing, but other than those 2 drawbacks it's still a great deal! It also has a center stand installed.

... It also has a center stand installed.

Yeah, I caught that... it appears to be a Standard and not a Deluxe, but the price is still great, and the Cruise Control would have sold me too... it was one of my initial criteria.

I bet you could offer something in the range of $9,500 and take it. ("Divorce forces sale").

...I would have still needed to have it shipped...

Upon reflection... I would have gladly picked it up for you in Southern Cal and rode it up to you... I have family in Grants Pass and Portland.

Not without mounting snow skis to it you wouldn't have!

Well guys, I did it. After a little more negotiating, I bought the 2013 F6B leftover. I think the dealer gave me a fair deal.
2013 F6B Standard $13,000
Doc Fee $250
Here's the crazy thing... When he saw me wavering on the '13 vs the '15 Deluxe, he ordered me the passenger backrest and heated grips at his cost ($535) and threw in a free center stand and free labor to install everything. Aside from self cancelling signals, I basically got a deluxe for $13,535. At this point I'm looking at roughly $2200 more for the '15 deluxe with cruise, transmission change, and 2 years newer. I plan on keeping the bike and just couldn't justify paying $2200 more.


Bottom line: I'm happy with the deal and I got a new F6B in red!

Then you did well.
Plus you got the one thing I can't in the used bike world... a fresh factory warranty.

Congratulations and ride well.

Most excellent. Welcome!
And? The self canceling turn signals can be a PITA...

You did well!

A good deal is when the seller and buyer feel they both got a good deal and it souds like you did. Congrats, now the real fun begins.......ride the wheels off that baby and enjoy.

Thanks guys. Now, I just need some warm Ohio weather and get some seat time.
The dealer did offer me an extended 4 year warranty for $599 taking it out for a total of 7 years. What do you think?

Not sure I'd bite on the extended warranty but I think you did well otherwise.
