I went by Olive Branch Suzuki in MS and they were $9999 +all the fees and such....They told me 10,700 out the door, go back 3 weeks later they wanted 11,300 out the door...and out the door I went. Little did they know they were about to get 100% cash money. I hate paying for stupid crate and assembly fees anyway...When was the last time you went to a car lot and they were like hey HERES YOUR 50K corvette now give us 1K for taking the plastic off the seats and washing it. There should be some good low mile 08 busas for sell pretty soon anyway
Best price on a NEW GEN II

Is low 10's still the best true "out the door" price people have actually bought them at? Im trying to sell my low mileage moded K8 for $9500 and people are claiming they can buy a new one for close to 9?
Mine has extension, new chain, braided rear brake line, rear lowering links, front soupys lowering spacers, buell pegs, and slash cut shorty tips... am i asking too much or is that still fair?

just wait ontil the end of the month when the o9's are unvailed in vegas,they will be giving them away...can you say "left over"!!
9,400 OTD at dealer in cherry Hill NJ... you still have to pay tax when you register it in home state but you have to do that on a used bike too..they have a 495 dealer charge they will wave if paying cash and buying outright
and Im in the same boat,,cash in hand(makes a big difference in closing deal rather then financeing),hopeing to steal one for 9k brand new taxes,tags,title and kitchen sink,,,,thats ofcourse if the 09's arent anything special

My wife just got me the 08 Orange/Black for 10900 OTD it took us both some haggling with various dealers and like 10 phone calls to get that deal. Oh they gave me the first service "Free"... I know nothing is free but who cares... Can't put a price on happiness!!!!
Suzuki is pretty tigh-lipped as usual about the next Busa release. The four colors floating around are probably pretty close, but we'll have to wait until next month to see if all we are getting is BNCs (bold new colors) or some real changes. I don't expact any real changes, but I was hoping for a 10th anniversary edition, which could happen later in the year. If I had to have a new one right now I would buy an 08 in November. You will get for about $1,000 less than what it is selling for now. Yes, $9,400 08s could be a reality.

10,650 out the door including the matching joe rocket jacket for mine on 9/21. That includes my state sales tax and new tag fee
10350 OTD in boston Ma. Greater boston motorsports.
Thats 9800 for the bike plus 149 doc fee plus 400 for shipping and prep.
I had to really know the numbers, and I don't if everyone knows about this but
there is something called dealer hold back which is 3 percent of the price. So when they show you the so called invoice they still make 3 percent.
The other area they make coin is Suzuki only charges them 150 for shipping and they in turn charge 450 to 500!!!!
Prep is a given (they have to pay the wrench to put it tograther) so I'm cool with that, but put it all tograther and if they give it to you for cost
10,115 They still make 3% plus 350 shipping and any other crap (DOC fees, yada yada they can get you for. Everyone needs to make a living but a dealer should not be allowed to make $800 on a 10000 dollar bike!!
good hunting

Bought my 08 for 11k even, blue with gold rims local here in Little Rock.
Hey guys, as some of you know, I just ordered an 09 yesterday. I've always started my negotiations by telling the dealer I KNOW what your dealer cost is etc, etc. and go to work from there........... But my question is, do you dudes in the "know" think that dealer cost for the 09 will also increase by $500 like the MSRP did?

Congrats on your purchase!
I would guess that cost increase would be only a percentage of the retail price increase, but there's no way to know for sure. Of course, buying as the new model is released puts you in a weaker position for leverage on the price, as supply will be down and demand will be up.
So, what was sale price for the bike and what was the OTD price for you 09?

Thank you for your input, what you're saying makes sense.
To answer your question, I have purchased so many motorcycles from this dealer within the past 20 years that we don't even talk $$$$ UNTIL the bike is out of the crate, prepped and visually inspected and accepted by me. Then we go to work at the negotiation table.
I would think that we as potential buyers would have the upper hand during these unsettled and economical uncertain times, so for you guys in the market for a new ride, use this to your advantage, play hard ball, don’t let them take “advantage†of you! Be prepared and willing to WALK!!
A rule of thumb that has worked for me in the past is to multiply .83 X MSRP to come up with a ball park "dealer cost". (This does not take into account the 3% dealer hold back that they'll get). Then I add $500 to that and start from there. I make sure to tell them that this figure is to INCLUDE all the other BS charges, like doc fees, freight and preparation. We haggle back and forth and usually settle with me paying about $200 more than that.
So, with all that, I’m looking at starting with an offer of ( $12499 X .83) + $500 = $10874. I’ll go in being prepared to pay no more than $11,074 to $11,174 plus or minus a few dollars. So for me, OTD here in Nevada includes sales tax for a total of me driving away at around $12,000. Nevada allows you one month before you are required to pay licensing. This isn’t the best of deals, but being so close to California where they really stick it to you, it’s about as good as it gets. Needless to say, I’ll post up ASAP when I get the new 09!

FYI: Visited a local dealer yesterday and rec'd the following quote on a 2008:
$9999 Price of the bike (advertised special for all in stock Busa's)
$500 Prep
$300 Freight
$151 Processing Fee
That = $10950 for the dealer
$922 (approximately) in MD state fees (tax, title, tags, etc)
That brings the OTD (out the door) total to $11,872.
Not to shabby. Anybody found better recently?
