PSA: '15 ES brand new in OK. $13k...

[bruinFJRguy]

Not trying to shill for the dealers, but stumbled across this....

https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcd/5567666179.html

0 mile ES for $13k seems pretty good to me if they don't tack on a bunch of made up fees.

I did a drive by and indeed they have two on the floor. Norman Yamaha is the place. I did not ask the price in person, just looked. They also share a building with a car dealership.

Great price.....my dream is to find a 2016 next year for the same $$$

^^^ Chuck, that might be a pipe dream, but I am pulling for you!!

This winter, there will not be a single deal out there like this(knowing my luck). Hopefully I will be ready just in case!! I will be looking for the "middle of winter, inventory reduction, leftover model, scratch & dent, slightly used, celebrity bike, divorce fire sale, going out of business, bike is too much for me" kind of deal.

 

[BlacknWhite23]

Oh the temptation.

 

[DezzertRider]

Come on BlacknWhite23, we Gen-I owners have to hold out and be true to the superior Gen-I.

 

[escapefjrtist]

Even with some adds, that's still an awesome deal...damn!

I'd jump all over it, aside from the hassle of getting from Oklahoma to LA and registering it at Dad's in Denver to avoid the 7500 mile non-CA-emission compliance rule.

Oh, and the extra $13k + incidentals poses a minor problem too.

Why wait until winter, I resemble the "divorce fire sale" right now. Let's make a deal!

And if you need a truck, I've got one of those too in the fire sale.

And the location is convenient too!

Cav47, Ya just got a new(er) shock for that Gen1.....and I couldn't keep up with you with the old one on. You would be down right DANGEROUS on a Gen3 with electronic suspension!

Just saying......

To be brutally honest, I do not have the cash at this time. I have to pay cash for my toys, mama has rules.....and I agree with them

Trust me, I noticed the Sportland plate frame right away and many things went through my mind. You can't be very far away. That is a good deal. Ect, ect.

Additionally, I want to apologize, my remark about a "divorce fire sale" was inappropriate. I never meant it to be a reason or excuse to lowball someone on a purchase. Taking advantage of an unfortunate situation like that is totally not cool. I hope my comment was not viewed by you or anyone else in a negative light. I am sorry for the situation you are in and I wish you the best. I hope things change and you can hold onto the bike.

If your cycle is around this winter when I have the money, you will be one of the first I contact.

Original OK craigslist ad removed. Maybe they sold both...anyone know??

 

[FredRider]

I think they still have one - one sold late yesterday, and I had the other one, until I looked it over this morning, and decided not to buy.

 

[bruinFJRguy]

What was wrong with it?

bruin, I'd stopped and gave the bikes a cursory look-over, the day before calling about them. Both of them looked like they'd been setting uncovered in a warehouse for several months, covered in dust, and just generally looking grungy. I thought that was strange, but didn't think too much about it. I called that later that afternoon, haggled a bit with the sales rep, and got a price I was happy with.

When I got there the next morning, one of the bikes had been sold, and "mine" was setting there, just a dusty as it had been the day before. I'm thinking, "They're making a sale and haven't even bothered to wipe the bike down! What's up with that!"

Both bags were scuffed, probably could have been buffed out, and asked the sales rep if there was a mechanic in who could give it a shot, Nope, no mechanics or "floor" people available. Then I saw a serious 4-inch scratch in the windscreen, thanked the sales rep for his time, and left.

Fuel gage flashing E, scuffs, scratch in windshield, and un-prepped/dirty bike made it easy for me to say no.

In hindsight, I probably could have niggled them down some more on the price, but my intuition said walk.

There will be a cleaner, low-mileage '15 ES show up on one of the forums eventually

yeah, I agree with FredRider, I did not see a lot of motivation on the sales floor when I stopped by. I did not notice that the bikes were dusty though.

 

[bruinFJRguy]

Sounds like lousy management over there. It's too bad; caring isn't that hard.

Fred's experience had me worried the bike I negotiated on over the phone might be similar. Fortunately, after calling I was assured it is fresh from the crate and flawless.

I think Yamaha is having a blitz right now. There are a few '15s around CA listed south of 12k and going for about 13 otd. Not everyone is playing ball, though. The dealership I initially talked to wouldn't touch that. I managed to find someone more accomodating.
