Limited Spyder

[Blue Star]

I was looking on E-Bay today, and saw a listing for a 2008 Limited Edition Spyder. I have not heard of a limited edition, but I have heard of the PE (Premier Edition). This even had a chrome trim that said limited on it. Is this true, or someone that placed an after-market piece of trim on his Spyder and calling it limited for his sale? :dontknow:

Most auto parts store's sell Chrome stick on trim, probably that's what you see. :dontknow:
I was thinking of adding a chrome 4+4 on my Spyder ,but some ? people might notice the Spyder has 3 wheels.:roflblack:

I'm thinking that it was an after market trim also, but just checking with the experts just in case. I did not notice anything different other than some mods that anyone could do.

Can't link to the photo but here is the auction link. It's the 6th pic down and it's definitely a added sticker. But heck it is a way to draw attention to a crowded field. Stickers do come off.

All I can say is that when someone advertises a vehicle as a "Limited Edition" and it is merely a modified stock vehicle...let the buyer beware! What other lies or half truths are involved? Could be legit, but when it smells like an outhouse, it usually isn't a rose.

That definitely isn't a BRP factory package. Like Scotty says, someone put some mods on a stock Spyder and put on the Limited Edition badging.

I agree with Scotty, even though he is a very annoyng thing! :roflblack:

But seriously, it could just be a simple "fudge" and there could be big trouble under those phony skins! I would be leary...

They are trying to make a 2008 sound better than it is. Nice bike though and probably be a great deal for someone.

Yeah, I like the exhaust pipes on it. I won't buy it, as the rate my SSA has enough money in it I will be able to buy a 2012 used. :gaah:

It's an o8 and if you look at the vin number it ends in 1818 so it is a Premier Edition. He is just calling it a limited edition. I guess he thinks it sounds better, or he forgot what his spyder is????????

Lots of VIN#s end in 1818. Every model can repeat the numerical sequence. It has to be the correct model to be a PE, and the handlebar inserts are not there. They can be removed, but there are no mods to indicate a reason for that. My opinion...definitely not a PE.

it's bull $%*&^ and false advertising :gaah::gaah::gaah:

I'm not sure the "Limited Edition", Chrome piece, isn't simply fotoshopped into the picture!

This was from BRP when the Spyder first came out.

"Acknowledgement that, due to the limited number of units produced, it is not possible for your dealer to guarantee a delivery date earlier than March 2008. Only 600 Limited Edition Spyder roadsters will be delivered in North America in the fall of 2007; plus an additional 1,500 Limited Edition Spyder roadsters will be delivered between January and March 2008.
