I think I'm going to bite - seen and heard enough to be willing to be a 1st-up-to-bat buyer.

So:

- Anybody run into a dealer(s) who is willing to agressively talk $'s yet? I know it's new, but the KQ's competition like the BF is already being discounted - shouldn't be long b/4 the zukes are too - maybe there will be those that will get ahead of the game. Local dealer is talking $7K.......not much of a discount, but a start.

- Think Suzuki will match the Kawi offer of a $69 winch/mount? Suzuki has a $69 winch deal going on, but I think that is contingent upon signing up for their financing (NOT!).

- What will the lug bolt pattern be? I'm not familiar with Suzuki - Are they 4 x 110 too?

Probably more questions later.................

 

If its what you really want.. go to the dealer with $500 cash in your hand and tell him you want to put it down on a KQ700. Tell him you want it for $6500 or you are going to go buy a Rincon.

If he lets you walk out the door without taking your money, at least you know where you stand.

The $69 winch deals are usually held for those guys that pay M.S.R.P. They make about $1500 on those guys, so may as well give them a good winch deal.

If I cant get the dealer to come off the MSRP by $750 I walk away, then either come back or find a dealer that will.

 

I looked up a Vinson on the Highlifter site.........looks like the lug bolt pattern is 4x110......guess there is no reason to believe the KQ will be different.

Please post $ as quoted by dealers when available. Maybe a new thread would be in order.
