S-13 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I just moved to Phoenix Arizona about three weeks ago from Toledo, OH. If anyone remembers my posts from back in June, I hit a semi and totaled my bike and am just now looking to get a new one. Now that I'm in AZ I can ride all year, so although I missed out on riding season in Ohio I can start riding here in Phoenix. I've been wanting to ride so bad since my accident and may have come across a good deal on a bike, what do you guys think?2007 Yamaha V-Star136 miles (no typo, it's actually 136)1300 ccpassenger backrestfloorboardstoe/heel shiftersholeshot aftermarket dual exhaustThe dealership also agreed to throw in helmet, riding jacket/boots, gloves, and possibly different handlebars since I don't like the stock onesThe price would be roughly $11,200 after all fees, taxes, and financing charges. I haven't tried to talk them down on the price yet, but that may be possible. So does that sound like a decent buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Can't give an opinion cuz I dont know cruisers, but I just want to say that I hate you. Damn you for being able to ride in the winter. Good luck being able to ride during the summer months though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been itching to get a bike since I got here though. It was a high of 92 yesterday here and every time I see someone on a bike it kills me that I don't have another one yet.

I have been trying to get the wife to move to vegas she will have give in someday.The asking price was about $7800. $11200 is after tax tag title and 19% financing. Even so it still doesn't sound good from what you guys are saying.Good luck with convincing the wife, the weather is beautiful here and completely worth the move. Although the company I'm with did pay for me to move so it was a bit easier for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMBUSA Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 19%? WTF?? Why would you ever agree to pay that much in interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yah, pass on this homey.... also, hate you for being in 365 riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-13 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 19%? WTF?? Why would you ever agree to pay that much in interest?I don't have much credit history. The little I do have is good though. Last time I tried to get financed I couldn't without a co-signer. I kind of expected it to be on the high end. I was told it drops to 10% on a new bike as compared to used, but haven't seen that on paper yet. Again, this is why I'm posting before buying, cause I've never bought anything from a dealership and am new to financing/loans. I do want to build credit history with a loan though so that it will help when I'm ready to make larger purchases like a new truck or a house down the road.Likwid, there's no reason to be jealous cause I don't even have a bike yet haha. Once I get one people can start being jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Finance it through a bank or credit union. Never through a stealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
