Thanks for the reference. I checked they have 6.49% going on right now.

I am from Seattle and planning getting ABS after Dec.

I assume ABS model would be around $6300. I think I would put a deposit now if a dealer would offer OTD $6200 for ABS. What do you guys think?

[azn370z]

I would imagine it will be around $6200. Let me know if you find out when the abs is out.

My dealer quoted following for ABS.

Costco ABS MSRP : $5,644
OTD : $6,442.11

That's not Costco pricing?

It is Costco pricing. I cross checked with Costco as well.

[azn370z]

Nice. Now I just need to know when it's out. Any of you guys check to see if the dealers offer delivery?

I was told early to mid November.

[azn370z]

Good to know. The weather may not be that much better in Jan but I will wait until then.

I WANT ONE!! Anyone know any Costco dealers around Ventura County, CA that will sell me this bike for $5,500 OTD? Plus the $250 cash card I'm about to take the train to SD and go grab one!

go to the costco auto program website and fill out the info. they will provide you the dealer info.

[kcaja1]

I did the Costco inquiry here in northern VA and the OTD for a non-ABS is $5211.69 plus you get the $250 Costco card so, real total is $4961.69

not bad, not bad at all!

The dealer has the white one available now and the sales guy told me if without the Costco the OTD is $5826.70. That's about $865.01 difference.

Do you think if I buy this today and sell it on spring next year, I won't be losing money?

[Jiggles]

No

[JBinSD]

Just spoke with Tyson @ NC House of Motorcycles, he got two more 300's in on Saturday, and they're both gone, but he's got a good allocation for more coming in, call and let him know your from the forum or that Joel sent ya, and he'll give ya the easy, awesome Costco deal.

I spoke with the Sales Manager, Tyson McCarole, and he'd be happy to sell a couple hundred of these bikes to everyone on the forum. He doesn't make hardly anything on the Costco deal, but he's in business to sell bikes. Tell him Joel sent ya, he'll treat you right (760) 433-4333 (North County House of Motorcycles, in Vista, CA ((north San Diego, 30 mins from OC). Geez, I sound like an ad, I get nothing outta this, but trying to help some brutha's out a good deal is good karma I hope.

The Costco deal is all pre-arranged, the dealers can't change it pursuant to their contract with Costco. Taxes are based on residence, so you can come down to SD and buy from Tysone (McCarole) @ North County House of Motorcycles 760 433-4333 (shamless plug, he owes me) and ride it home to wherever you live.

White is the initial release color, its a good thing its what I wanted ;-) Now I just need some sponsor's stickers to pay for tires. . . .

Tell him to buy a goddamn ad on the site then

[JBinSD]

Yeah, I guess I overstates my source (as did you repeating it all.). Clearly you're not shy @ posting your opinions either. But I agree, and won't flog this point any more. I was just responding to a bunch of Q's and pms re my purchase.

Track mods are starting to proceed nicely, will post with pics as they come together.

Don't worry, it's only Jiggles. But I think the point is that it doesn't matter which dealer the buyer goes to. As long as the buyer goes through the costco program, he or she will get the costco price.

[JBinSD]

Ha, thanx Con, and he's right, that was an over-plug on my part. With the costco deal, any participating dealer gives the same deal. I'm jealous of states with no or little sales tax, makes the deal even sweeter.

Bad part about buying the 300 now is there isn't much aftermarket yet, but its growing. I'm hoping to get a decent-sized 300 grid at Chuckwalla, so I'm trying to stir the economy and get peeps to buy these bikes, its gonna be fun on the track :-)

[ChrisCusi]

Think the Costco pricing will come back once it's not so hot?

[ceke]

I hope so, just stopped by my local dealer, Southbay Motorsports here in San Diego, and they wouldn't budge below $6400.

[eyeheartny]

Hang on, so the Costco deal is no longer valid in San Diego? I was all set to go with JBinSD's friend Tyson for my bike. Bummer if the deal is off!

[Baja]

My son and I picked up his new Ninja 300 yesterday. We had to go out of state to get the Costco deal because the local Costco Kawasaki dealer wouldn't sell a new 300 on the Costco deal.

We paid $4850 otd and also got a free tee shirt and and a set of tie-down straps. We will pay tax, title and registration in our home state. After those taxes, fees and the Costco $250 gift card we will be about $5150 total for the bike.

UPDATE ; Taxes were a little less than I expected. We ended up at $5,088 total.

Thanks for this! Fun Bike Center was asking 6300... and said there was no way they could budge on the price. Looks like I'll be taking a drive up to NC tomorow!

[ChrisCusi]

Just curious... for this to work do you have to have a Costco card in YOUR name or can you use a parents? :/

[Zdolak90]

Hey guys! So I just joined this forum, I'm looking to buy a ninja 300 in a little over two weeks and just came across this Costco program. I am curious what is all involved with this discount program. It almost seems to good to be true lol. I just signed up for it online and the email I received says to contact this local dealer but I'm not even a Costco member yet. What exactly is this program all about?? Any info is greatly appreciated!!

[Alex]

I haven't heard anything on the Costco program for a few years now; most of those details are in this thread. It's quite possible things have changed or been updated since, and hopefully you can update the rest of us here if that is the case.

I saw a Kawi ATV of some kind for sale the last time I was in a Costco early this year, ao I assume the partnership is still going strong.

[genosr1]

guess you can get everything at costco

[JohnnyBravo]

They have kawis in the Costco here! As for the program wish I heard about it before I bought mine.
Best of luck new guy

[Zdolak90]

Thanks again Johnny! And the one dealer called me regarding the program. I was told bike was 5,299 with ABS plus a 600 destination and freight charge or whatever that is(BS imo) so about 6700 out the door before the costco discount. He said with all of that before taxes with the costco program i would be looking at 5199. So probably like 5600-5800 out the door.

[JohnnyBravo]

Not bad at all!

[Zdolak90]

I just got a phone call from a costco partnered kawi dealer. OTD they quoted me 5600-5800. Without the costco program they estimated 6500-6700 OTD. I'm going next Wednesday (5-28-14) to check it out and hopefully ride it home. That's a 2014 ninja 300 with ABS black.

[Klondike1020]

Forget that bogus extra prices.

My gf got hers otd for 5500 and she was supposed to get a different one for 4850 otd but she didn't like the color and went to a different dealership

just because they tell you a completely absurd price (6500) doesn't mean a slightly less absurd price (5600) is a good deal

[Zdolak90]

Alex-I'm not claiming it is a good deal at all. I'm just giving you my numbers because that's what I thought this thread was about. I have no clue what a good deal OTD prices are.
Klondike- that 4850 was non abs right? And I'm guessing the 5500 was abs?

yes you are correct non abs.
the 5500 was non abs also. But it was the only 300 in white she could find. She drive 2 hours and paid an extra 750 to get it in white.

lol she did not want green , go fig

also she got hers right after the 300 was released and the dealer thought they were going to have a hard time selling them.

the one that gave her the good price had sold out by the time I talked to them a couple months later and they were asking more by then too. you know un-crating fee and other crap/

[Zdolak90]

Oh wow she must have really wanted that white one lol. I'm debating the white but two hundred bucks for the different paint job. Eh idk. I just know black shoes every ounce of dirt lol. I'm going tonight to a local dealer to try and test ride one. And also get an OTD estimate without the costco discount. I'm not looking forward to riding an hour and a half to get the discount because I never ride in the highway before lol. I may be a puss, idc lol. But I'll do it if I have too.

[CZroe]

So, how does this work if you don't have a Costco membership in your name?

Some family members of mine have Costco memberships. Would it have to be purchased by them and titled in their name or can I just go in with them and get it in my name?

Costco isn't close enough to be worth having a membership of my own.
