Hello buddies and good friends. Is $10,582.70 out the door a bad deal for a brand new Ducati Monster 796ABS? This includes 6% sales tax, title transfer/state fees, inspection, and the first service. It also assumes that I trade in my 2001 Ninja 250 for a value of about $1200. I am getting a low-balled a little on the trade-in BUT you guys have no idea how convenient it will be to ride to the dealership on my Ninja and ride home on my new Ducati. gently caress U-Haul.

slidebite posted:No doubt the trade is convenient, that's pretty much the whole purpose of trade ins. The part you have to figure out in your head if the convenience is worth the I think it's worth it when you consider how much U-Haul costs these days. It would be $150 in rental/mileage costs and another $60 in gas because I'm driving halfway across PA to a Ducati dealer that isn't a pretentious piece of poo poo. I also forgot to mention that the quoted price for the Monster includes a $600 freight and setup fee... do dealers commonly pass these charges onto the consumer??

difference in market price and trade. Pretty much only you can answer that.

Captain Pike posted:Regarding U-Haul: I did the U-Haul thing for my Ninja 250. The motorcycle trailer is ballin' and SUPER easy to load/secure but it gets expensive fast if you choose to also rent a F150 instead of using your RAV4 because they have a by-the-mile fee. To be honest it may very well be cheaper to get the hitch instead of a full U-Haul rig. The trailer makes a lot of noise and didn't feel very safe when driven at over 65 MPH or so (which makes you a right-lane slowpoke in the NY/NJ/Philly corridor). I also just rented a F150 and loaded her up using my ramp before. Even with the truck parked on a hill I had a really hard time loading my bike by myself. It might not be so bad if you have a friend of two to help ya out. Fixed Gear Guy fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Mar 9, 2012 |

Yeah I'm like 300 lbs and a Ninja 250 is fun/fine. You can wring it out without breaking speed limits. But yeah you'll probably still want a bigger bike next season. In my area $2000 for a Ninja doesn't really happen often unless you wait until November when 'tards realize you need to do work and have a place to store a bike for the winter.
