good deal. I paid a little over 10000 for my 05 in Feb of 05.
13k is a rip off. Just a litlle research and a phone call or 2 and you can cut that by thousands.Wow, I always thought these were 13K bikes out of the box..

No worries on the questions, I only paid 8K for mine- I actually think the guy who sold me the bike is the one who put the #13 in my head. Now I know better!Good to know MFH- I got mine used (6 mos old) but always thought the MSRP was 13..
BUSAFETTWhere did you get $13k from? Any website, Suzuki or authorized dealer, has them listed at an MSRP of $11,099.00, $200 more for the LE.
Afraid to ask, but what did you pay for the 6 mo. old Busa?
As always, I have to agree with my runningmate. I tried doing this same thing, but since my local dealer didn't deal in volume sales, the best I could get was $10,500 for an '02. I wound up purchasing from Champion Motorsports out of Chicago, IL and got a brand new '02 for $9365 otd. Add $500 for shipping costs and 7 and 1/2% tax along with cost for title and license and I still saved a little over $1000 over purchasing locally.Local Dealers will give you sort of an attitude sometimes, Give the local guys a chince to match the price. Be ready to buy, show up meaning business and have a solid written offer from the competitor, most places will match or beat. Ask them to beat it. At least this way you establish that you wnat to work with the locals.
Give your neighborhood guys a shot first.
