How much are most new ones going for (otd price) cause i found a used 2002 for 5200. Looks like it has just been sitting in the garage since they bought it. still has the nipples on the tires. Think its worth 5200?

Thanks

Derek

 

Well, one placec over here is listing for 5299 in the Cycle trader. I don't know about OTD but thats there list price. I'd go for the one your looking at, seems like a good deal, as long as it was taken care of.

I paid $5,300 plus Ohio sales tax ($350) for my 2001 last April. I also got $300 of accessories of my choice from Honda also. $5,200 is not that great of a deal if you have to pay sales tax on top of that. In Ohio, you would have to pay it regardless of whether you bought it new or used (they get you when you transfer the title). I am not sure of Indiana laws on sales tax. I still think that you could do a little better considering that part of the warranty is already gone.

 

Yep, here in Ohio, they are going for $5299, plus all the crap they can get you for, OTD= $5640.00 I just went through all that. They won't deal at all on them.

 

i got mine for 5299, 5642 OTD so 5200 is a lil steep cause it is used now no matter if it aint been rode its still considered used.

 

$5640 seems like a good deal, isn't MSRP 5699?

 

dam then my local dealer is an a-s-s ..they charge around $5700.00 no deals no extras...

i hate playing the dealer games on cars and now i have to play them on quads UGGGGGGG

 

I bought my new 2002 400ex at Chicago Cycle for $5145 out the door late last year. They are by far the best place to pick one up. The drive was horrible but well worth the savings. They always have ads in the Indiana Auto & RV paper. I did have to pay somethong like $200
at the bureau of motor vehicles when I got it registered because you don't pay sales tax at Chicago Cycle if you're from out of state. If you don't finance it you wouldn't necessarily have to title it and pay sales tax, but you won't have a title for it in your name.

 

when you guys look at a new bike tag does it say they charge you for prep too? the local area charges for prep of the bike??? i think thats BS. and if people want to know the name im willing to say it

All dealers will have some costs in "prepping" the machine for you. Most dealers simply factor this into the sales price that they quote you. My dealer was real clear on his price. $5,300 plus sales tax and title fees. They don't try to pull that bull of giving you a price and then adding a prep charge on top of it. When I got my 400ex last spring, I went to three dealers in the area. Two gave me there actual price. The first was 5,400 plus tax and the other was 5,300 plus tax. The third dealer quoted me a price of 5,200. This sounded like the better deal until he later worked in that I would have to pay an additional $200 prep fee. Unfortunately, he didn't get the sale. Tell the dealer from the beginning that you want the final price before sales tax (should be a constant percentage of the sales price anyway). This way you can compare prices fairly.
