What Kind of Deal can I expect?
« on: February 13, 2012, 07:00:17 PM »
Hey, newbie here.  My GF and I are looking at each getting new Like 200's soon, and I'm wondering if anyone is willing to share what kind of deal they got on their new Kymco (doesn't have to be the 200i)?  I know the 200 already seems to be ridiculously low priced, as compared to other manufacturers' similar models.  We were thinking of getting one of the LX blue/white models, and one of the "regular" ones.  So that's $5,300 MSRP for the pair...

I know every dealer is different and every deal is different, but I want to come in at a good starting point for negotiating.  I'm just trying to figure out how much wiggle room there REALLY is...  Is $5000 for the pair too high/low?  For the purposes of this discussion, I'm not considering tax, license, doc, etc...

Thanks for any help!

It looks like the asking price on line is $2599 each.
I would expect to get at least  10% discount if I bought 2 of them at once.

Is there a dealer near you ?  Where do you plan to buy ?

I'd shop for the best price on 1 and then ask about a price on the 2.

OK, I'll shoot for that.  I'll even say it in terms of %.  saying "10% discount" seems better than saying "$520 off"...

Yeah, there is a dealer pretty close to my house.  Actually it will offer a sweet backroads ride back home for our maiden voyage, haha.

MOST of the dealers are financing their inventory. A fella that does not move too many will be happier w/ a sold pair than making payments. You can also look for leftovers (last years) They will already be reduced. Just don't rush, and you may be rewarded. Make a "stupid low" offer. When they say NO, leave your card, and walk. They will call.
