For cars, it is very easy to get invoice prices. For motorcycles, I have never found a way to get invoice. All I can tell you is, back in November in the Philadelphia area, the best price I could get for a 2007 AE was $12,995 which reflected the Yamaha rebates at that time. Later, I heard people on the Forum getting as low at $11,500 but that propably depends on the market in that area. I do not know if Yamaha is still running rebates on 2007 stock but your dealer would know.

This will be close for Yamaha --> If MSRP is $13,899 the dealer invoice will be ~84% = $11,675 The dealer then gets a 2% hold-back from Yamaha when the motorcycle is sold = $233.50 The zero profit price for a dealer would be $11,441.50

Using this formula for a 2007 AE --> If MSRP is $15,599 the dealer invoice will be ~84% = $13,103 The dealer then gets a 2% hold-back from Yamaha when the motorcycle is sold = $262 The zero profit price for a dealer would be $12,841

This makes my cost of 12,995 having just a slight profit for the dealer. How were others able to get some for $11,500? This would be a loss for the dealer.

I don't think that $11,500 price was for an AE model. It was for 1300A version.

Hi,

In April I paid 11,900 + about 350 freight and set up for a 2007 AE (silver), in Green Bay Wisconsin. The dealer purchased 5 at a Yamaha auction. A month ago, there was still one on the floor.

Thanks
