Good or bad price for a 2006 Ninja 250?

#1 Unread post by StyleZ »

Went to a dealship and checked out some bikes. First I looking at some other things if you check my other posts you'll kno what.

Anyway I saw the Ninja 250

At first they tried to get me at like $4100

I got them to $3491 out the door which included the tax and tags.

Is that a good price or no?

They gave my $2864 on the bike, tags were $110, $200+ for tax, etc...

$3491 total Cash

I dunno if that was a good price or not. I was barginning trying to get down to MSRP, I'm not sure on dealer fees though or what not. As far as MSRP they gave me about $140 under. I dunno though...

I told them I'd call them back Monday morn and let them know.[/quote]

Sounds decent to me...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

That doesn't sound bad at all from what I've heard about getting those bikes. It seems like they are hard to talk down.

Yep, it's a good price. Theoretically you might be able to talk a dealer down to $3400 or so out the door without them losing money... but I had several dealers let me walk away without blinking an eye when I insisted on $3400 OTD. $3500 is the lowest I could find in my area.
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

From what I read, the invoice price on that bike is $2,850...then I'm sure you'll have to add destination fee, doc fee, registration, tax and commission ($100 min I think)...so OTD should be around $3,400. Sounds like you got a good deal...especially if they included delivering the bike to your home for you (which is usually about $60 depending on how far you live).

If we're talking about the same bike, the MSRP is $2999, so the original price sound ridiculous.
