You promised pricing. All is here are three models and two years...

Jiggles · September 29th, 2012, 01:57 AM

The 250 isn't on their list and I doubt the 300 is either

Confirmed, very tempting to get a quote....

awesome! now go get us some quotes!

Heed · September 29th, 2012, 08:16 AM

So basically you get a discount from participating dealers if you're a Costco member?

Yasko · September 29th, 2012, 09:28 AM

Worthless trend. What about the price????????

patiently waiting for results

Aggrotech · September 29th, 2012, 10:29 AM

hmm..Have a membership with costco, i could technically just put in a different area code and get you guys some prices, right?

Nope

azn370z · September 29th, 2012, 01:34 PM

The price is a little less than msrp but you don't have to pay for the freight and assembly fee. I think paying for a $55 membership to save about $800 plus is a good deal. Every Kawasaki dealer should be a costco partner, if you have a costco in your state.

And that price is?

I don't think any dealer is going to have the 300 on the costco program

Wilsons does here in fresno.

Confuzshuz · September 29th, 2012, 02:47 PM

Spoke with the dealer this morning

$4850 base price (slightly higher than msrp)

OTD $5550

Location: Southern California

Not too bad, but definitely not a steal since I got quoted $5836 OTD Nearby (non-costco deal).

I thought it would be 5K OTD, but I'm hesistant at $5550.

I even called Costco on this pricing cuz I really thought it was going to be lower. I'm waiting for me to call them back.

Jiggles · September 29th, 2012, 02:50 PM

Lol, MSRP is higher and it still has fees XD

This what I called Costco about, rather complaining. Either the dealer was still stiffing me or Costco has gotten smart with their pricing.

Either way, you still save on dealer fees since they are elminated and don't forget the $250 gift card from Costco. But still, not something to jump for joy.

Heed · September 29th, 2012, 03:14 PM

$5,550 OTD sounds good for California.

Oh right I forgot about the $250, well that makes it worth it. Both bikes I bought through the costco program came out to a total of a few hundred over MSRP, thats including tax

Confuzshuz · September 29th, 2012, 04:37 PM

Just heard back from Costco. It sure is the correct price and they don't expect the price to down til end of 1st or early 2nd quarter of 2013.

If I can be convinced, I might get it if it's still available tomorrow.

Really? Then where did the extra 700 come from (OTD-base)? That's not all tax, so some must be typical BS fees.

JBinSD · September 29th, 2012, 08:09 PM

I'm stoked Costco is doing this product too, but surprised the starting price is above MSRP. I almost bought a ZX10-R from them, and the OTD was just about MSRP, including tax doc lic etc.

I made a $5500 cash OTD offer on the phone, and they said maybe once they get more bikes in, but not now. With the Costco deal, I'd be saving $200 over my offer, and so essentially $5300 after costco cash card reduction. Woohoo, white or green? hmmm.

Tax, license, and registration....and tire recycling fee, electronic something fee, etc....

Remember, this is Southern California pricing. Your state, county, or city may/will vary.

that could the extra expense

I have no idea. These are typical government fees in California. Without the Costo deal, price would be over $6K+.

According to the dealer here is the breakdown (approximate, not exact):
$4849 msrp
$80 documentation
$431.29 tax
$150 dmv/registration
$29 electronic something BS fees
$3.50 tire recycling

comparing them to here.
$4800 msrp
$240 the tax around here is is 5%
$90 dmv registration/title
$5130 legit OTD price for a VA buyer

doc fees are BS if you pay cash or already have a loan.
tire thing and prep fees are bs too.

I think all the fees are BS, but what are we to do. Again, those were the approximate fees given to me by the dealer over the phone. There is a discrepancy of $75 from dealer vs the dmv fee calculator (which is also approximate):

If I can get 55 people to donate $100 to my wallet, I will be the first.

I was going to do it last saturday, but I changed my mind. I can tell you, though, the sales guys aren't very happy about the 300 being on the costco program.

Its so sad, both of those bikes are gone, one to heaven, and the other under the legs of another man

JBinSD · October 1st, 2012, 09:48 PM

Done,

NC House of Motos begrudgingly gave me the Costco deal, and I flogged it home tonight. Easiest transaction ever, he even faxed me the #'s before I got there.

Big Props to Tyson and the crew, they were efficient and professional (although the couldn't find the owner's manual).

I'd definitely reccommend the dealership, with or without the Costco deal. He was going to make me a good deal even before the Costco deal, but Costco, with the additional giftcard, made it even better.

Pics to follow tomorrow.

Alex · October 1st, 2012, 09:50 PM
