I have no idea what to offer. I'm thinking I'll ask him for $4200 OTD. I'd be totally fine with 4300 otd... the tax is killing the deal a bit but whatever i guess its not a bad deal and itd be nice to finally have a bike...

so should i say 4200?

Its not low balling... but this is a fucking ducati dealer, its getting to be spring, and they are throwing in a tire. I dont think i have much room to move.

I would tell them $4k out the door. You can buy them all day long at that price.

I think you are wrong on that one... look at the links further forward...

DO NOT let them put the stock Dunlop back on that bike
THEY SUCK DONKEY BALLS

I'd say, offer $4200 w/new chain and rear tire (pilot road/power or similar of what they carry) OTD.
See how they come back.
and if they are changing the chain, check the wear on the sprockets... if they are worn, a new chain is a moot point.

As for the Doc fee... every place is gonna charge a doc fee, it will vary from shop to shop. Some will wave it if you push the issue, some won't.
It's to cover the costs of all the documents, and the cost of filing them.

Other than that, don't look too bad.

Crazy · 03-12-2008, 09:26 PM

Update: I offered 4200...I got them to waive the doc fee...but it will still be 4475 OTD.

thats with a stock tire put on. I asked if I could pay the difference for a better tire... he said he wasnt sure, but they already ordered the stock to replace it, so he might not be able to... but if it doesnt get in by friday, and I go to pick it up they might let me get another tire.

IF they do, what should I put on there? something reasonably priced (I dont want to pay much more than $50 over stock) and decent for sport riding (mostly in town, some twisties, prolly no track)

at this point tho... I'm pretty much ready to go with this one. I'm getting tired as hell looking, all the other options I've seen aren't priced much better, and its getting warm so I want a bike to ride over spring break (next week).

I put the deposit down today... my plan is to go out there on Friday, test ride, inspect it more, and if everything looks good, drop the cash and bring her home.

Cutty72 · 03-12-2008, 09:33 PM

what type of riding are you planning on doing??

mostly twisties, go for a
-pilot power
-corsa 3
-m3

more touring, go for a
-pilot road
-strada

Remember, the front is still a stock dunlop 208, a sport touring tire... i got over 10K on mine...

But good job and congrats!!! BOUT TIME!!!!!!

Phenix_Rider · 03-12-2008, 09:44 PM

The Diablo Strada and Pilot Road are good suggestions. BT020 is the same type tire. I got 7k+ (still going) on mine.
