Should I be looking at a left-over 2024 Spyder or risking any price increase on new?

[sgerksinwi]

I was thinking of a new Spyder this Fall or next Spring.
Now with the new possibility of tariffs, should I be looking at a left over '24?

The tariffs are now on. Shop now or later is up to you. 25% Canada, 25% Mexico 10% added to the 25% China = 35% China.

I'm in the same boat. I want to trade in my 2020 RTL on either a new 2024 or 2025. I'm curious about the new Dusk color S2S. I haven't been able to see the color in person yet. Some dealers already have (and have sold) them, but not around me. I'm hoping that some vehicles are already in the pipeline and the tariffs will not apply to those machines. If not, and they're still in Canada, there's no way I'm paying over $40k for a motorcycle. Also, imagine what the parts prices will be now.

If the dealer already has it on the showroom or warehouse I don't think the tariffs will apply.
If it is still on order, who knows?

It is totally up to you and your wallet!!!

Now we have to deal with dealers marking stuff up even though they had it before the tariffs to make an extra buck.

Was on the news last night that anything in transit before Feb 1st will not be tariffed.

Unfortunately, the potential for significant price increases in the near future pretty much eliminates your bargaining power for existing inventory. I think dealers will take the approach of "pay a lot now or pay a lot more later"... Not a good time to rely on Canadian imports.

Glad I got my 2024 Spyder RT limited last year.

A smart dealer would put everything new (23's through 25's) that he has on the floor, and advertise "BUY NOW BEFORE THE TARIFFS HIT"

Safe for now, tariffs were put on pause for 30 days. Hopefully they can reach some sort of agreement that everyone can live with.

Local dealers don't have an F3T in petrol. Thought about buying out of state and having it shipped in, but one dealer never called back. Haven't tried another.

Tariffs are paid at any border by the company importing the product "Spyder"
If the product is in country before tariffs were applied then it is tariff free.

I can tell you the 2025 F3S and the 2024 F3S are identical. Get a 2024 for cheaper if you can. I got a clearance 2024 in August and was $4k off.

 

[Mikey]

They have the prices already high enough to cover the tariffs, trust me!

 

[duke50]

Glad I got my 2024 Spyder RT limited last year.

Why? They have rebates now.

 

[Albec]

Salespeople being salespeople will jack the prices up, tariffs or not, if they can get away with it.

They'll rationalize the price increase on the non-tariffed stock in some way and pass that on to the consumer. That's the nature of business.

Ten seconds after they push a brand new Spyder out of the shop door, which has been prepped for a sale, they hand you the keys, and it is then a used Spyder...

Other than color and a back up camera and price, no change for 25. Dealers have 2024s in house. I went from a 2022 F3L Spl. to a 2024 with the new display and handlebar control changes which is a very positive change and glad that I did.
