Title: Honest opinion please....................
Post by: oicur4mi on January 08, 2004, 07:18:54 PM
I just bought a brand new 2002 Suzuki gs500, it has 2 miles on it. The listed (msrp) was $4,399. I paid $3,850 (not including tax/license/ prep charges). Out the door price was $4,300, and not apenny more. I was wondering if that is a good price or did i get ripped off. Any honest opinion is appreciated!  :roll:

You bought it new. You will love it. You have nothing to fix before you can ride it. Have fun already! And welcome!

I swear we just had a post like this.  :?

In any case, its brand new essentially with a warranty and you got it OTD for less than the original MSRP.  I think you made out well.  You also won't have to worry about how the bike was previously treated  :thumb:

~edit - Found it!

Not bad, not bad. Although I will add, I bought my 2002 in January of 2002 right as they came out. I actually bought it before the dealer had it. But anyway, I bought it for about that much. A bit less, but My buddy worked there, so considering.... good deal.

Anti wins for first member to grab the 02. I bought mine new in Feb 02.
