Sup guys? I'm Akash, from the Orange County area of New York. I'm 21 years old and I'll be purchasing my first motorcycle shortly. I saw and fell in love with a black 2012 FZ6R. Unfortunately, the dealer knows this, lol. I need some financial/negotiating help. Found the same bike $2k cheaper at a place 2 hours away. Still gotta talk to that dealer, but everything is closed on Sundays. KBB values the bike at $6535. NADA values the bike at $7690. Dealer is selling for $7690, take $500 off as a manufacturer's discount thing, so $7190 being the final cost of the bike. I'm getting frame sliders and a rear fender elimination kit, which with labor and parts, brings my OTD total to just below $7600. This new dealer ad I saw is selling the bike for $5900. Holy hell, right? The $1200 I save can cover the cost of all my gear and even a bit more. Am I overpaying if I pay $7190 for the bike? Anyway, I'm signing up for a MSF course tomorrow, slated for mid-April. The bike is going to sit in my parents' garage until I'm licensed, insured, geared, and the bike is registered. Thoughts are much appreciated.
I might have put this in the wrong section. Wasn't sure whether to put this in the New Member section or the General section due to the price negotiation thing. Sorry
