P.s.
SUGESTED RETAIL IS $ 5799.00

 

bigboy400ex,
Where did you see that they retail at $5799? All I have ever seen for retail was $5699. Also, where did you come up with the idea that $5300 was the dealer cost?! Do you own a dealership? I would have guessed that cost was less than $5000!

 

Yeah like the dealership keeps only 400 bucks of profit when they sell at retail.......

I donnu how much they pay for them but I would gues mid 4's.

 

I DONT OWN A DEALERSHIP BUT I WORK AT THE OLDST HONDA DEALERSHIP IN THE USA.......WE SOLD 1 YESTURDAY
6000.00 OUT THE DOOR ....AND WE SELL EVERYONE WE GET ...IN A MATTER OF DAYS ....AND I OWN A 2001 400ex AND I KNOW WHAT I PAID FOR IT !!!!!

 

If you know what you paid for it why dont you tell us ?!?

 

i paid 6300 after taxes and fees and whatnot. tucson, AZ last saturday

 

Ouch! that's pricey...You could almost get a Raptor for that price....

 

$4999.00 out the door- no taxes- Corinth, Miss.-Lake Hills Motors- www.yamahadiscountprices.com

BigBoy400ex- Sounds like the "oldest Honda dealer" that you work for must not give very good deals to employees!

 

Wow 5000 for a new EX?!!!!!! Make me want to drive down there to buy. I wonder if they will match the price in Minneapolis?

 

These atv's now have titles, so you are going to pay tax! If you go to an out of state dealer, you have to pay tax when you get home. I would love to see the paper work on the 4,999 out the door ex with no tax!
There is no more not paying tax, you now have a title. If you didn't pay tax, the IRS will talk to you in the spring. This is another way the Gov. makes sure they get their money, now that they issue titles, someone pays tax even when you sell it used, because the title has to be transferred to someone else.
I have a good friend that is a salesman for Honda, and the dealer pays about 5,000 - 5,300 (depending on time of year and demand) for a 400ex, the mark up is not that high.
Not counting tax, the list is 5,699, + dock fee and setup,that gets to about 5,900 + tax. Someone said the dealer pays about 4,500 for one, that would be 1,400 profit + tax! That is not the case, hell, car dealers don't make that kind of profit on a $20,000 dollar car!
