OTD $$? Extras!!?
« on: July 31, 2013, 10:10:40 AM »
Bought my 2013 Super Sexy, aka 8, at Dal Kawa in Hendersonville, Nc. I was mighty surprised when he quoted me $2700 OTD knowing I was payin cash. Tryin to give me all this freight, shipping, un crating blah blah blah.  I know those fees exist sometimes but any stand up place is gonna charge retail +tax.  Their profit is factored in already. As I was trying to build a solid relationship with what appeared to be a large, reputable, honest shop, I didn't want to low ball too bad and piss the guy off so I just fired back with $2500 flat (which is what I brought to spend Max. for scoot +extras).  Dude was sayin yes before I even finished offering so instantly I knew he was really tryin to jack me on 27.  Sense he showed his cards so quick I did manage to get him to throw in a trunk box and helmet.  So what did y'all pay new from who?  Just really not feeling like these guys are scootin straight but don't want to ruin my relationship with the only KYMCO dealer in the area if just cause I have serious trust issues when it comes to products sold by salesmen.
My math shows 2199x.07(tax)=$2352.93 I feel like him even quoting any higher than that is a bit shady.  What do you guys think?

Hello! New user, first post.

I just picked up a Super 8 50 today at Hager Motor Sports in Rock Hill, SC.  I have been looking around and doing research for months...trying to make a final decision on what to get.  I had all but decided on an Agility 50, but they had a few 2013's left that were special deals...and then I saw it...the Super 8 - I knew I had to take one home! $1800 and change...and I feel like this was a very good deal.   ;D

I am very pleased.  I would have been happy with the Agility I am sure...but this baby is so much better.

Did you get a 2t or 4 stroke? Make sure they gave you the smooth boss and jet that derestricts the scoot.  Don't let the sell you a "hop up" kit that are the parts you should have gotten with you new scoot.

@ Pimpy1 - I got the 2 stroke!  (2013 model in Red!) I am so pumped...glad I did my research...and this forum was a big help. And I did indeed get the smooth boss and the jet...thanks & good looking out!  I think I will wait until I am good and broken in before I make the changes.  (Unless I get word otherwise.)  The service manager helped me load it up for transport to may house...75 miles of highway between this particular dealer and my place.

He also talked to me about the rollers.  He said stock were 9g, and I should get 6g in when I do the mod.

Any help or tips are welcomed.  Thanks!

It been a good while since I had a scoot...many years ago in Germany I had a Peugeot 150, can't remember the model, but it was pretty cool. I also had the pleasure of owning a late 60 Vespa...should have brought them home when I packed out.
Now:
2013 Kymco Super 8 50 2t
