What kind of rebates did you get. Bike show in Montreal this week, hoping to get good deal on an 08

 

[kid41]

14900.00 plus the tax, if you look at the Yamaha web site they ll give you 1500 rebate and the bike show will give you and extra 1000 above that, total 2500, and dealed with my dealer, bike will be delivered at my door !!!!

Excuse wy apparent stupidity But why are you happy about paying more for a Canadian FJR then an American FJR? Is the Can model better in some ways? Don't get me wrong, I paid top dollar last year to get my 07, It was the first one to hit the state, and "It was Mine!" :yahoo:

 

[kid41]

Happy to get one is the bottom line, i did work and was going to get it from a us dealer when the difference was like 5k but when these promos came out the difference went down to like 1600.00. That diffence made me re think, all i had to do to get one from the states and after i would have gotten it ie warranty work.

To clarify, he originally was saving a lot of money by buying "South of the border". HOWEVER, there are legal issues, to wit:

Yamaha USA imports into the "States", Yamaha Canada imports Far North America (Canada).

Warranty issues are handled through the importer, so IF he were to purchase an American FJR, though he resides in Canada, he might have to come to he U.S. to have warranty work done and covered through Yamaha USA (Yamaha Canada may not legally have to repair US purchased bike owned and registered in Canada). When the difference was narrowed to $1600, those issues became moot.

Well...I...understood. But I've followed the discussions by those who reside in Canada who consider purchasing from the United States and one of the points discussed over the years are possible problems with warranty repairs and recalls.

 

[kid41]

actually i had everything set up to purchase in the states, warranty registered and all, would have had to go only an hour away to get servicing in the states, but like i tried to explain on above threads to much trouble for a small saving !!

Apparently he does not wish to sell any other bikes, he has not replied to either of the several email's that I had sent him.
