Current State of the Market

[Lead Pipe]

So I finally received the title for my Rubicon after paying it off. I'm close to listing it for sale and have started to look at SxS', mostly the Talon. It looks like even 2019's are going for MSRP.... I was used to at least a $3-4K discount on older models. I most likely won't buy anything until the spring but how long will this last?

hit up abernathys. if you want a 2 seater you should have easier luck than a 4 seater.

 

[Yaj Yak]

looks like their site might be down?

 

[Yaj Yak]

also man, take atvtrader prices with an absolute grain of salt... chances are they have vendor agreements where they can't list below msrp on there

do the whole "find your e-price" thing to have some 24 year old call you to talk to you about it and maybe get a price over the phone.

 

[Yaj Yak]

abernathy's doesn't appear to be abernathy's anymore?

i69 motorsports now... interesting

That is interesting.

There was another dealer up in Minnesota that came really close to their ludicrous pricing. I cant remember their name rn.

it legit seems like they did a find and replace of every mention of abernathy's on their website and replace it with i69 motorsports so maybe just a name change?

 

[Lead Pipe]

I'm down in pigeon forge right now and powersports dealers are literally everywhere. I will poke around at pricing and see what they say.

Is abernathy errr i69 a Honda dealer?

The market is the way it is because of COVID. If I were you, I’d list your Rubicon like yesterday... demand is high because people are looking for stuff to do that isn’t sitting in a bar or venue and supply is low because of plant shutdowns.

Sell your machine now and wait until next spring once this (hopefully) blows over and get a machine for the prices you’re used to.

I think it's chilled out to be honest... Supply has caught up.

 

[PANDA]

I don't think supply has caught up. Every dealer I have been inside or browsed on the web recently has little powersports inventory. New or used.

That's my plan. I just got the title so I'm going to try to get it up soon.

So far, not from what I've seen. Hopefully by spring it will.

Trying to sell and "R" in Wisconsin has to be almost impossible. The state width restriction is 64", the R is 68. That's a car for out west.

my bro was up with a group of guys and they got pulled over last weekend and the cop/ranger/whatever wound up measuring their widths...

what inventory are you guys not seeing? i can find anything i'm looking for it seems...

 

[Yaj Yak]

granted ive only really looked for pioneer 1000-5's and ranger crews but still.

Southern Powersports in Chattanooga is probably the biggest solely Honda dealership around. They usually cut their prices way down on the last years models. So a 2020 Talon that retails at $19,995 would usually be some where around $16,995. Right now on their site they are $19,295 and they have zero 2021's or 4 seaters.

did you fill out a price request?

what about this one:

[Yaj Yak]

seems like that place has 2-3 4 seaters

So, no. I haven't requested any actual prices. That being said, seeing 2020's at MSRP is discouraging. Why pay new prices for a 1 year old unit that already depreciated?

but that's just the advertised number, fill out some price requests? make some calls.

they have to advertise for a certain amount of time at whatever price the vendor tells them to...

 

[Yaj Yak]

MAP minimum advertised price. manufacturers seem to reaaallly have gotten really after dealers to stick to it.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I mean shit, right off the chattanooga website:

I didn't know what the R meant. Probably why they still have it. I saw them unloading a truck full of Pioneers the other day. Probably 2021's.
