OTD Prices?

[Burtonridr250]

I was wondering what kinda prices people have gotten there 05' YZ250's for OTD. I just talked my local dealer down to 6000 OTD. I still think I can do much better. I will be paying with straight cash, and I know how most dealers love dealing with cash.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.


Thanks

Depends where you are located... Where is "I don't know, USA" ?

I believe that is a good price in Cali

 

[Burtonridr250]

That's weird. I don't know how that got in my profile. Strange..... anyways, I am located in Chicago.

If that's a good price, looks like I am getting a bike soon.

Thanks.

I've heard them for as little as 5200 plus tax. I paid 5800 OTD for mine.

Get a cycle trader and look for ads in your area.

I'm picking up an '05 yz250 this weekend from a friend that's a salesman. He said they buy the bikes for $5,300. He's selling it to me for $5,500 OTD but that it with my brother in law comming to get it so it's technically an out of state price. Sales tax in NY is 8.75% which would be $480 so if you can get it for $6k, then your basically getting the bike for cost and the dealer is charging you tax, setup, shipping and all the other BS costs that a dealer adds on to a bike.

For what it's worth, when I went looking at other '05 bikes(kx250, rm250, 250sx, cr250) the dealers were asking for $6,300-$6,500 OTD before really haggling them.

Here in central Ohio, I paid 6 grand and some change otd. I got the bike for $5600.00

I got mine very soon after they were available, and paid $6200 OTD. It was either buy now or get back on the waiting list, so I bought.

Try Chicago Cycle Center and/or Highlands Yamaha.

A buddy went to buy a bike from a dealer in Ohio once and they said him it would be *more* if he paid in cash because they couldn't stick it to him on the finance side -- at least the salesman was honest about it.

That sounds pretty good for a new current year model. I would also say try Chicago Cycle Center, they always seem to advertise bikes dirt cheap.

OTD - $5,600 - 0% for 1 year on the Yamaha Card. Hell of a deal.

P.S. The bike is fun and easier to ride than my 03 CRF450.

Yeah, but like one other member stated, don't they rip your ass off with interest and that other crap?

I got my dealer to 5900$ OTD, they are ordering one, they said it will be in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for the help.

The yamaha card is just like a credit card from what I understand. If you have good credit you can play the interest game and pay 0% by switching from one card to another. I'm putting my bike on my credit card then switching it over to a 0% offer. I have one credit card that offered 0% until you pay off the balance. I'm going to try to get it again but lately all they have been offering is 0% for one year. When I financed my last bike, a Honda, it was through Honda Financial and was "real" loan where I had to keep insurance on the bike and the interest was 7%. Going the credit card route saves you the cost of insurance. It was $200 for the year on my last bike for the insurance.

As for the yamaha card, the guy i'm buying the bike from told me the loan is 0% for the first year and then goes up to 9.99% after that year. I'm not sure if it's different state to state or person to person depending on your credit.

Read the fine print at the bottom of the finance agreement. Some qualify for different interest rates after the promo terminates when the 12 month period is up. This ranges from 9.99 to 24.99 percent. The interest will accumulate at that rate you are given if you do not pay the bike off at the end of the promo. I was drawn in for the 0 down 0 payment, and 0 finance for 12 months, their $ free for one year, but treat it like any other credit card, pay the balance when due to avoid finance charges. I plan on paying the bike in full December this year. This also gives me time to sell my current bike.

if the dealers are unwilling to negotiate than try out

i got my 04 there no problems

 

[Burtonridr250]

That website looks nice, however, I don't like the idea of spending that much money over the internet. Also, it says the bikes dont come with a warrenty.

 

[bikeryz]

I figure if you can use someone else's money at no cost(0 interest) why not. I don't finance bikes I usually pay cash. With the 0% interest deal you get to keep your money for one year and pay it off over 12 months. This also gives me time to sell my 03 crf450 in the spring for more money as there is 6 inches of snow in Denver. However, I hope to ride by Sunday. It will be in the 50's. Happy Riding.

Be careful with those Credit Cards folks, they can bite you really hard if your not on the ball. Most of the current offers that your seeing now aren't too bad IF... If you don't pay on time, your interest rate will go up. It only takes once time being late too at which time it could go over 24% on some plans. If you decide to use your 3.99% for 24 months then, 6.99% until balance is paid off card to buy something else you forgot to buy, say a stand or something a day or two later, they will charge you 17-24% for the above and beyon balance. That means you pay two interest rates and have two balances with the same card.
They way to make it work is if you have a 0% interest rate for 12 months, pay it down as much as you possibly can before the rates increase, that way they can't slam you as hard on the balance. Also, be careful transfering balances to 0% credit card plans as they do charge a fee, sometimes as much as 4%.

Bottom line, read the fine print and do your homework. Those lowball offers work best for people who do a refinance or a 2nd morgage of thier home before the higher interest rate hits. Then you can write off the interest for your taxes.

Check out International Motorcycle Brokers had the 05 yz250 in the crate in two days impressive. Registration was another story. Would I do it again definately. Came with extra topend and gasket kit, Manual for $5599

 

[Burtonridr250]

Really. 5600$. Do they ship it to major cities? I talked my dealer down (pro source) to 5900. Do you think its worth going with IMB?

My local retarded dealer quoted me $6800 OTD and wouldn't budge. This was in early December and Yamaha had an offer till the end of the year for no interest, no payments or down payment for all of 05. I pulled up with an empty trailer, drooled all over the bike, applied for the Yamaha card right there, got a $15k limit within a minute or two and the retard still wouldn't budge. If he would have got it closer to $6k, I would have loaded it on the trailer right there. Now since that financing deal is over, I'm going to consider other colors out there like the SX, KX or possibly CR or RM. Basically all of the 05 250's are nice so it's going to come down to deal for me.

I bought mine from Extreme yamaha in Ohio for $5263. I had my own deal on a shipper but they were willing to do it for $200 or so. Call Kevin Marchbank at 1-800-646-7642 .....I had a very good buy experience.

 

[whyzee]

I was in Team Powersports Friday, could have left with a new 05 YZ250 for an even $5,000 taxes, everything.

 

[Coop37]

5000.00 OTD ? That would be way under cost, you should by it for that! what was the number of that dealer.

 

[YZ165]

RockRiver Motorsports hooks it up just west of Milwaukee. $5,300 OTD for a '04 YZ450 a year ago.
