They get the same money regardless. It might work at smaller mom/pop shops where they'll "adjust" the sales price... aka pocket some of the cash from sale. I wouldn't even talk financing or cash. Just tell them your serious and you have the money for a deposit... let's talk OTD price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drey Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I just picked my FZ-07 up yesterday (in CO).

I am going to be shopping around for mine soon in CO and any info would be appreciated I went to 3 different dealers. I only seriously looked into it at 1. I went to Grand Prix in Littleton (gave me a rough estimate of $8100 OTD), Vickery in Denver (again, rough $8100 OTD), and then finally Coyote Motorsports in Denver. He initially gave me an OTD price of close to $8300. When I started the finance process, he was trying to get me out closer to $8700 with warranty/fees/GAP. I ended up talking him down to $8000 w/o any extras, and then I decided to add GAP. I feel like I could have probably done better, but I'm no good at any sort of deal making.

I feel like I could have probably done better, but I'm no good at any sort of deal making.I've found that if you just ask for an OTD price or best price (no haggling) you'll typically get a high number. A couple of times they shot me a good number from the start. Its "painful", but you really need to go in person and haggle a "best-price" and use those number at other dealers as ammunition. Then decide which dealer you want to buy from. Best advice, don't settle at the first offer or dealer you go to... unless you get a great price based on what some have paid here. My situation... I wanted a liquid graphite, only two dealers in the state had one (one wouldn't get for another month or two) and all dealerships told me they wouldn't be getting more till after a June/July Yamaha order, "maybe" (so g/l getting one during the northeast riding season). I got some better prices out-of-state, but they too didn't have the color I wanted. So the dealer that had one, I haggled with, told him others had the bike and offered me better pricing (which was true, but just not on that color).

paulibiker Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just offer all cash...most dealers will not go lower when it seems like you are gonna finance a bike...that's my observation...Not anyways true. Credit unions & banks usually pay the dealer a fee for setting up the loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Goose1072 Posted May 28, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 28, 2015 Totally agree with Paulibiker. When I went to pick up my bike it was OTD @ $8200, while speaking to the financial person I miss understood when she asked me how am I paying. I told her cash and a few minutes later she comes back with an invoice totaling $7900. I was like WOW great deal until she asked me for the cash....lol she explained that there is a processing fee from the bank and that's why it goes up. I'm still happy with the $8200 price though, it's an AWESOME bike and well worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I dunno about loan processing fees, I negotiated an OTD price and then discussed paying. I had cash, but wanted to know my financing options as well. I was approved on the spot for a Yamaha loan, but I ended up getting a much better loan at my local credit union... no fees, 5 yrs, 2.99% interest. Yamaha wanted 6%, I think for 5 yrs and less for shorter loan terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakusaizou Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 $6700 OTD in MN. My coworker bought from the same dealership but haggled them down to $6400 OTD on the last bike. Holy cow! where did you get that price!? I'm in southern MN and the local dealer won't go below $7700 OTDHeinens. Think they sold 5 of them below MSRP, they sold them fast once the weather warmed up. Barely got mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamobethere Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Got a price from one dealership this morning in CO, they started me off at 8500 and finally landed at $8000 OTD. I pushed for them to throw in a helmet and they wouldn't budge so I walked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepside4x4 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I financiad my Fz-07 and got the dealer to give me 7000 OTD as well as 25% off any riding gear and the first service. Took me about 4 months to get this deal, but I was willing to wait for the right price. This dealership is in Eastern NC (Ron Ayers Motorsports) and usually has one or two of these bikes in stock at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavedog Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 picked up my bike a few hours ago, MAN this thing is fun! Payed $6,100 used, with 66 miles on it.

Yeah, but sometimes dealers throw in a bunch of BS charges which inflate the cost of the bike... OTD is the important number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that the actual price of the bike is what you had to write the check for. Taxes and fees are part of what the bike cost. As long as you are happy with your deal that is all that matters. I bought my bike as soon as they were released so I paid more than if I had waited for demand to go down and winter to arrive. I did not want to wait so I paid a premium. I was still happy with my deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
