I've got a little lower out the door price from another dealer by phone. He quoted $11,277 for a 40th Orange busa and promised lifetime discounts on parts/accessories. 10% on anything under $500 and 15% on anything over $500. He said he'd also beat any out the door price that anybody else would do in the state of Georgia.
Also said that he'd give me an ever better deal on a standard '03 than he could on the 40th. Still not where I think I should be on the 40th. Might need to forget about that orange paint. Man, it's schweeeeet though. I'm thinking a max of $10,800 for a 40th considering my county's tax rate (7%) Much closer to $10k on a standard busa.
Another thought that crossed my mind... Some folks cross into Alabama to buy vehicles because it saves some money (maybe taxes?). I wonder if it'd be the same on bikes. Anyone know? I think I'll gve an Alabama dealer a call just to see what they say. Might be worth the drive...
I haven't been able to get ahold of a new contact at the first shop yet to see what they might do.
Also tried State Farm for insurance. I have to swap my Maxima over to them to get bike insurance but it's well worth it. They beat my current insurer on the Maxima by about $60 a year and will cover the Hayabusa for $392 per year. D@mn!!!!! That's more like it!!!
FWIW, I think they may also be a bit lower on my homeowners' as well, with better contents/personal items coverage (we're talking around $40k more coverage in this area) and same coverage elsewhere.
I'll continue to chip away at this until I get what I think is a good deal on a bike. I think I've got the insurance nailed down though!
