Anyone getting any deals out there on 2015 pre-orders? Am I a fool for mentally preparing for full list?! Save me... I was hoping for 0.9% or something but the dealer is talking full list, limited program supply, order by Dec latest ( for spring delivery) and, hahaha 5.9%. Holy Frinkinfrack! Do share... PM me if this is not apropo. And what happened to all these semi used, mostly stored, improperly suspended R1200RT's. I've been lookin, but I've yet to see a glut. Everybody keep 'em?
In Canada, no deals because supply is limited (very little competition). If you want better financing, order 2014 model at end of seasons (or they will knock down the price, or throw in options, or whatever is the end of season special).
Down in my neck of the woods, hardly anyone turned them in. I suspect this was the norm, regardless of location. With no turn-ins, the local dealer was shopping around other dealers trying to find one (without much luck) to use as a demo bike.
Thanks for the feedback. I have three dealer visits setup, and have been going through the numbers. Will most likely put my dibs in over the next couple of weeks for a spring delivery slot. I'll ask around on the 2014's but I think the markets thin. Looks like a 1k premium for the GSAdv versus the GS for what I'm looking for: - spokes - led - ride pro - heated grips - no ESA - no panniers Still unsure if the extra range and crash bars are worth the extra $$. Hard decision.
Paid full list for my 14 GSAW. Still new enough that no discounts offered. Did get 10% of accessories so that is better than nothing. Once you ride the bike the price you paid will be the last thing on your mind
I was wrong. Actually the first thing on her mind was 'it's not a first year bike is it'.. God bless her :)
