I've just been quoted $8450 out-the-door on a new '05 F4i. Tax around here is 6.25%, so backing out tax and fees probably puts the bike price around $7775 or $7800. The stealership claims that is cost.

Anyone know any different? Good deal or not?

 

Oh, and they have included $100 off any accessories.

 

i'd buy used.

as far as price...8200 out the door would be decent. they have all these dumb fees...like assemblage fee, etc...

shop around.

 

Thanks for the reply. Has anyone ever been able to determine what the actual cost to the dealer is (the elusive invoice price)?

I know they get kickbacks and other ways to still make money on that price, but how far can I push?

And the reason that I'm even looking into this is because I have been looking for months, and can't find a reasonably priced and fairly well maintained bike for much less (maybe save $1500, but take all of the additional risk). I've seen used bikes ('04s with 1700 miles) listed for the sticker price of a brand new '05. I dunno if people around here are crazy, or what, but that's the way it seems to be.

We get pretty much year around ridable weather, so that may be working against me in the used market.

 

I would guess that actual dealer cost is somewhere between $6000-$6500 for am F4i. I think the 600RR is somewhere around $7000.

 

Really? Wow. Stealerships never cease to amaze me.

 

I read somewhere that the dealers, at a minimum, make 750bux on every sales. You should call around and get it to $8000 OTD.

 

Where are you from? I could ask my fellow Honda friends to check on one...This past June I bought a new 2004 F4i and paid $7700 for it. Some stuff I got for free....

 

Depends on where your at. I live in Fresno cal. they are asking 9283 + fees for a 05 F4I here, Thats what I paid for my hayabusa. drove to Los Angeles and got the same red 05 F4I for
base 7260.85
doc fees 45.00
tax 582.65 I think 8.25% its pretty high here.
reg 107.00
non tax items? 3.50
no dealer set up or prep!

total 7999.00 out the door,

 

Thank you all for the replies.

I'm in Houston, anything that you can find out about this area would be great.

Sounds like I could buy it in CA and have it shipped out here for less!

Thank you all again.
