Vehicle sales tax can play a significant role in one's OTD pricing, as well as the "freight and prep" fees. For example, in the greater Seattle area it's 9.8%. In any event, I purchased my bike in August 2014 from a county 80 or so miles north of Seattle so I only had to pay 8.5% vehicle sales tax.
In short, I got a pretty killer deal on a white 899 still in the crate. My deal was $14,099 with no freight and prep. Doc fee of $50 and DOL fee of $84.75. OTD of $15,432.17. Supposedly this was at "cost". The best OTD pricing I received from the immediate Seattle area dealers was $16,8xx OTD (9.8% sales tax and freight and prep fees).
Unfortunately, I don't know the MSRP difference (if any) between 2014 and 2015 but hopefully that helps a little bit.
I was just quoted OTD $17,244 in Texas. This is with $695 freight & prep. I'm pretty sure this is full price with no deals on the table. I should add this was via phone conversation so I'm sure things will change when I show some commitment in person.
I am getting quoted 17,600 out the door for the white 2015 Panigale 899.
They first quoted me 18,000.
Is this normal? Any replies would be highly appreciated.
First post! What what! I paid 13.8k out the door for my 2014 Red 899 with every **** warranty/package you can offer. Was a demo with a 120 miles on it that the shop manager put on the bike himself.
I added years to the factory warranty, but declined the tire and wheel coverage since I knew I would be upgrading. If you are keeping your stock wheels, then it makes sense to consider it.
I purchased the tire and wheel on the RR because of the Supercorsa tires and forged wheels that came as stock.
