blackjack

Post by MDMason »

I found a new blackjack at a dealer on the west coast who stated he will sell it to me at dealer cost. Does anyone know what that is?

Man, that's a deal! I assume prolly @ $3k ,since they're advertised about 3600-3800.

At this point they're a limited run and very few are left. I liked the looks but I actually crave quiet on the pipe. I wouldn't mind replacing my shocks with sport shocks though, the roads are in bad shape :P.

^^^^ It doesn't really matter. That is what he is willing to sell it to you for, and that is a heck of a discount...

Having worked in the business (motorcycles), I can tell you mark-up isn't what most people think.

Probably not much lower. MSRP was $3499. You'd have paid even more in prep, taxes, fees, etc.

If that's an OTD price, then that's a good buy! If there's taxes and fees after that... not so much. OTD for 2800 is one to jump on

i doubt the dealer cost is lower. i don't think he would lie as it wouldn't be difficult to indeed find out true dealer cost if you dig a little more. its an msrp of $3500 and these aren't china scoots. profit margins are not high

don't nickel and dime yourself out if a good deal on a great scooter. if you really want it its worth what is being asked for it, even with taxes on top. you either want it or you don't imo

If its new then yes! And to Skully, the stock pipe comes with the prima on the blackjack so you can switch out. :wink:

I would buy this in a heartbeat. What does it cost to ship though?

I would imagine the warranty would come with it, but don't know for sure.

I bought my Buddy from them (Kent Kawasaki) back in '09, and have been back there a few times for periodic maintenance. So far as I know, they are above board with these prices (prep and tax would still need to be added, I'm guessing).

Just bought 2009 Blackjack in San Francisco for $2,500. Clean. Has Givi top box, rack and mount. Prima pipe flawless. Yes, Seattle dealer has killer deal but remember shipping and tax. 2,500 miles or so. Needs back tire only.

I would pay $3K plus fees for a new one.
