Ripped off?

[Jayz]

Hi all, first post on this forum - so g'day from Perth, Australia...

Been going through the forum and can see lots of peeps getting the CRs at bargain prices and I'm kinda feeling ripped off right now as i just paid AUD $15k for a new 2010 CR [confused]

AussieBuellRida, i read you paid $6900 for yours. Was that for a new 2010 CR?

Cheers,
Jayz

first, let me say welcome. Second, thats basically full price for what they use to be here.

 

[Jayz]

Cheers Kyle. Look forward to be part of this community. I like tinkering and being hands on with my bikes and have read some good posts on this forum so far - good work lads!!!

RRP here is AUD $18.5k which is why I jumped in at $15k.

Was offered a new 2009 1125R for $14k ride away but was keen on a CR and 2010 model.

No regrets making the purchase. Would've been nice if it was at half the price as it would give me lots more room for mods!

I would say in Aussie that is a far price I know of a local guy selling his used 2010 for $8900 here in the states, so figure in taxes and what not to ge tthe bike to Aussie and your lookin good., Not to mention there are very few 2010 1125's

But in stand point to full price you actually got it for less than full priice as AUD $15000 is about $12500 in Amer. currency and the 1125's book at $12999

 

[kyle_dewald]

He got the 1125CR which is $11,999, and the 1125R is 12,999, but still

 

[xtremelow]

yeah, still figure in the taxes that are payed to export the bike I would say he got a deal. I have heard of guys paying $18000 for an 1125, so in all I say it is a deal since he is half way around the world[smirk]

 

[Jayz]

Thanks guys. I feel better

Btw, the RRP for the 1125R and CR are the same here down under...

 

[Ruski1125]

Oi Jayz, i'm from adelaide and i paid 12,900 on road for my 2009 cr. Am pretty happy with the bike and the price.

 

[Jayz]

G'day Ruski. Thanks for the heads up.

Which dealership did you buy it from and do they have more?

 

[okey]

nice to see another aussie buying a Buell.I think you got a great deal jayz and i only hope that you get treated from the dealer with a little respect. I know that's all i want from them.

 

[Jayz]

Thanks Okey.

It's going to be interesting as I'm purchasing the bike from Sydney and I live 3500 Kms away in Perth. I hope the dealership does the right thing and the bike is in showroom condition (as promised) when it gets to my door in the next 2 weeks.

I've spoken to my local HD dealership and they've confirmed that they will honour warranty claims etc.

The wait is killing me!!! I'm already looking at mods

 

[twoguns]

mate... i am from sydney. we had blokes buy them for 9990 to 11990 in the buy out sale. but there are still new ones now for 14k. considering you are in perth and its a limited market it is still not bad.
bang for your bucks there isnt much better,

 

[Jayz]

Gday twoguns.

Do you know which dealerships have the new ones for 14k? I have a mate looking to pick one up as well.

 

[Jayz]

FYI to all the Aussies out there

I've called all Aussie dealerships and there aren't any new 2010 1125 CRs in stock. Looks like i picked up the last one!

One of the dealerships in Victoria mentioned that they were getting 12 x brand new XB12SS in August.

There are also a bunch of brand new Ulysses in the ACT.

[Ruski1125]

You can not get a bike that performs like this one for the same bob.Don't know if PS still have any in stock, give em a call. All the best mate.

 

[Jayz]

Cheers Ruski. I'll give em a call tomorrow.

 

[AussieBuellRida]

[Jayz]

They didn't have a new 2010 CR anyway
