New 1300

junglejim · Sep 15, 2016

I just stumbled on to this ad for a new ST1300.
I'm not going to buy it but some one might want it.

Hmmmm.... that's VERY expensive for a new ST.... they are out there, here's one I found on Craigslist for 3k less http://southbend.craigslist.org/mcd/5776364972.html

Way over priced for an almost 5 year old bike!

Last year at this time I picked up my new (16 miles on it) 12 ST1300 for only $12K.

Well... they do say:
"THIS BIKE HAS 0 MILES ON IT!!! YES, ZERO MILES! This is still a brand new bike that has been in our showroom for over four years. We are very motivated to get this bike out the door so come in and make an offer we cannot refuse."

Here's another new one on Lawn Guyland listed for $14K. I bet it could be had for less.

$18.3 was the original MSRP and it was too high (IMNSHO) even when they were still coming in.

The only thing they are very motivated to get out of this bike is their money! Seems they have been highly (price wise) motivated for a long time!

I have not owned my ST1300 two years yet. The day before I picked my 2012 up and test rode it. The bike was still in the crate. December 9, 2014 with .04 miles on it. $10,500. They may have it another four years on the showroom floor. One of our local Honda dealers still has a 2009 St1300p white with all the blue lights on it and is still stuck at about $19k for the bike. Sitting in the corner with almost flat tires.

True but it's a new bike from a dealer not used from third-party. I don't know if Honda has a MAP requirement (Minimum Advertised Price) but that's MSRPish pricing. If you walked in the door ready to deal you might be able to save major ching. Sure they'll take MSRP if you don't know any better but I bet there's a lot of wiggle room.

I've seen dealer prices advertised that are much lower than the original $18,300 MSRP for new-in-box 2012s. The link I provided in post #5 is an example. So either there's no MAP, or it's been lowered, or the dealer has violated the MAP agreement.

Two 'new' 2012's have sold at local dealerships (Dallas-Ft Worth area) this summer. $9,999 and $9,000 even.

Seems a lot of posters aren't reading the whole dealer ad where they say they are very motivated and will listen to offers. If somebody is serious (not just posting on a forum) about buying, call them up and offer them X dollars. Then the haggling can begin.

Very good point ! I only looked at the pictures and that price tag...
Why show such a high list price that instantly turns off those that only look quickly at the add.

Quick lookers are not serious buyers.

SteveST1300 · Sep 16, 2016

I have 2 ST's that cost less than that and I bought one of them new!

Beauty eh? But it's a not quite enough NW for me. Not to mention that I need a lot of WD-40 to park my bike as it is. But the prospect of a Fly/Haggle/Ride has it's attractions.

Still they may be motivated but advertising the MSRP are they really really motivated. And "Siri take me home!' isn't just a ride- it's an adventure! Maybe more than I'm cut out for. :rofl1:
