Is 9k even otd a good deal on a leftover 2008 gsxr-600?

Yeah thats a pretty good deal. The dealership where I got my bike has some left over 07 600's for $6995. Dont know if you want a 07 or not but they're out there if you look.

Is 9k even otd a good deal on a leftover 2008 gsxr-600?

its diffrent in some states

me: 7,200 for a 07 600 with some goodies

 

[PAjixxer]

thats what i did last year for a leftover 07 but you gotta show that your willin to walk out of the deal if they dont drop it more. id say try and work em more

 

[phenol312]

I'm in Jersey. Another dealer quoted me at 9500 OTD and another at like 9800 OTD. I started at $8800 OTD and but they didn't accept it.

I went in looking at a blue leftover zx-6r but someone had a deposit on it. I could have gotten that for probably 7900OTD. All they had left was the yellow and the special edition (yuck). ...they had the '08 gixxer 600 in black or white. I think they way they worked it out was like 220 in fees 8150 for the bike and then the rest in tax. I put down a deposit before leaving saying that I would think about the gixxer but I might change my mind to getting one of the zx-6rs.

if im not mistaken the kaws msrp run a little cheaper, but i wouldnt go any higher then 9 out the door.

 

[phenol312]

yeah i know the kawis are cheaper. but they have a recall on the valve cover gasket...they also dont have a steering stablizer...that would be an additional $500 right there so like 8300ish for the kawi...9k for the suzuki. If i can get this guy to throw in the 5 year warranty and deliver for free id be happy.

looking on ebay most dealers go around 9050-9500 OTD...idk. This is my first zook so im in need of some sagelike advice.

Im in Missouri, and dealers around me were 8800 otd for an 08 RR, i went to deal on a K8 Gixxer for that price, and they said 9k OTD for their last leftover 600, cause he knew he would sell it, which i could understand... anyway i figured for the 200 dollar difference, i was getting a rear cowl, slipper clutch, and gear indicator, which make up for it, so i went with the suzuki, which i absolutely fell in love with, i love my bike.

Also, i asked my dealer to throw in the extended warranty, he said nope!

Summary: 9K OTD normal for K8

 

[phenol312]

Yeah i had figured it was roughly a normal deal. I'm on the fence though. The zx-6r is like <8k out the door and the GSXR is 9k. What exactly justifies the $1200 difference between these two?Their MSRPs were roughly the same when they both rolled off the factory lines last year. I dont think I'm getting an extra $1200 of performance with the GSXR...all the japanese supersports will perform within a hair of each other and i know it will come down to the rider. :hmmm:

 

[phenol312]

:crickets: :shifty

 

[leveltwo]

there is a dealership about 70 miles away, selling a 08 kawi 6 for 8200, so its up to you. i love my bike more than i thought i would

 

[jluck]

last summer i bought my 07 600 for 7400 and they threw in a gp1 slip-on. talk to the sales manager they dont usually work off commission so they will give u rock bottom. the guy i bought mine from beat his own sales guys by 1200 bucks

 

[ride_hard]

Last spring I got my 07 750 for 9100 otd in Michigan. I don't know about the 08's but it gives you an idea.

 

[rhyno15]

i got my 07 GSX-R750 a week ago (new(2 miles on it when i picked it up)) for $7,250 out the door. that took a lot of talking though! haha.

 

[b3av3r]

I know suzuki had some price increases but I got my left over K7 750 in 2008 for the retail of a 600 which I thought was a fair price. Just to give you an idea on how much they can move on price.

 

[phenol312]

so basically...I could do better, but i could also do worse. Hm...idk what to do. I'm def not feeling the vivid yellow ZX-6R. He has a special edition '08 ZX. I'm wondering how I can work him down from 9k on the gsx-r though.

Thanks for the input and replies everyone....keep them coming. The more info I get the better I can get a feel for what theyre expecting to see. :hmmm:

 

[BobbyCrougar]

Have you searched craigslist in your area? I got my K7 750 for $6500 from a local guy (DC area)

 

[phenol312]

Yeah I looked around. Not much.

All the used bikes I have looked at seem to be pretty roughed up. Buying new I dont have to worry about inspection for four years (a plus since ill be leaving the state with the bike and itll be a 400 miles drive back to get it inspected) and on a new bike I also get the tax rebate thanks to mr. obama.

 

[Chad00gsxr]

I just bought my fiance a leftover 08 gsxr 600 all black out the door for 8k, so they can make that deal it's just getting them to.
I got mine at suzuki of louisville here in ky, but you can use them as a dealer that quoted you that price to try and renegotiate with the dealer ur working with. Good luck

 

[phenol312]

Wow thats nuts. Were they closing down or something? How long did it take them to drop to that price. I left them $100 deposit...so they kind of have me by the short hairs. They wouldn't accept $8800 then again I never spoke with the sales manager...the salesmen went to the back room to talk with him.

I figured the MSRP is $9400 so I figured on a 20% markdown + $200 in fees + 7% sales tax so... $8300.
