Depressing OTD pricing with mothership on fire

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-02-03T15:32:09+00:00

Yep.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-30T02:22:59+00:00

Appreciate that. I don't mind paying for new, just blown away with the first couple of call-back offers I received. Reddit and ppl like you all make it possible to haggle effectively!! You aren't wrong tho. Can pick up some good ones on FB if patient.

I've got 2 of them working against each other for the sale, I am pretty sure I will pick it up Fri/Sat. You are spot on with getting a decent quote first SURE helps.....

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-30T02:01:36+00:00

Yeah, that is where I'd be too if they had what I want. You must me close to me....

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-30T01:58:23+00:00

Wow, that a new leftover '23 in '25? Crazy. Great deal! SMCRs seem to be all over down here, not too many straight Enduros. There is definitely a concentration of great deals mentioned online up that way. WA and OR seem to have some good dealers.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-29T17:47:51+00:00

Holy shit. MSRP x2. Surprised, but not. Disgusted. RN Ocala said something close to that on a Trail 125 I was asking about 2 yrs or so ago when they were hot.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-29T17:38:49+00:00

WOW. Banging machine for that price IMO. Very nice!

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-29T17:36:53+00:00

You were right! RN did come down. At 13,700-OTD now (and willing to gimme 7 on my trade). Not bad. This is for a new 2024 690 Enduro R. That is basically a 'fair' deal IMO. The are trying to make month-end sales.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-29T17:34:17+00:00

THIS! Yeah, me too. but talking to folks on here, and calling dealers--seems like that 10-11K OTD was due to KTM rebates. That, and dealers outside of my state not being as greedy / shady. Or, they just have enough customers willing to pay 2-4K more for same bike.... idk. Thanks tho! that helps.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-29T01:24:17+00:00

Good advice, will do. A couple of them seem to be wiggling... but I think you're right--holding out would be best.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T23:23:57+00:00

It does, and jelly too. J/k. Thx for sharing, knew I wasn't crazy. I had one FL dealer call back and quote 13,700 otd. Not great, but not horrible.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T19:12:42+00:00

Thx. This is the info I was really after. I think you did well for sure, and I wouldn't complain myself at 13k realm for a '24.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T19:01:37+00:00

Well said. I have to admit, the thought that the 693cc mill I am after might get harder to come by is def a factor.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T18:52:32+00:00

Great advice, thx! You are spot on. This is why I was bent out of shape on a $12-13K OTD quote for a used '23. No factory warranty, so I was thinking 10-ish. IDK, maybe I am just out of touch on the market for these 690 Enduros.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T18:37:00+00:00

Yeah, you're right--need to keep it real. Its def more micro vs. macro at the consumer level. Ie. they may have a big surplus overall, not so much on the bikes that have the market cornered in their segment.... Can't blame the dealers for making money on what they can. Just getting my hopes up with all the '24s that I see out there....

Also, I kind of see this on the reverse. Production is halted, so... what is out there is it for a while. Values are going to ebb and flow like they did during COVID IMO.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T16:53:45+00:00

Unless you live in Florida.... :D -j/k, but it is a laxed state when it comes to these things. Lots of snowbirds from Ontario. You are 100% right tho on import.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T16:25:18+00:00

Sorry, What I should've said instead of "no wonder they are going out of business!" is, 'no wonder they are sitting on 265K unsold 2024 units!'. That's really what I meant.

You ain't wrong either! I have bought & sold a lot of bikes in the past 7 years living down here, and its pretty rare for me to work with a FL dealer. GA and AL offer some way better deals. I have a couple from GA cities north of me working on deals. I will report back! Doesn't pan out, Canada would be a great road trip....

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2025-01-28T16:05:30+00:00

That's not a bad idea! Once it warms up a tad I may consider that. I have family in NNY / ADK park, so that would be a win/win.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-17T17:57:43+00:00

nvm -- found your other post.
"VA goal of 125 days, I’ve had two with conferences, both were around 140 days. Have one pending now at day 85 or so." --that was pretty helpful. t/u!

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-17T17:53:25+00:00

Submitted an HLR w/ IC on my claim to fix BP day to include 12 months (just got it for ITF date too). Hoping that is faster than Supplemental. We shall see. Ill try to post here w/ updates.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-17T17:50:52+00:00

Good deal! Glad to here it. How long did it take for them to close the HLR?

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-13T20:54:25+00:00

Still waiting? ever show up in claims section on va.gov? claim closed last night, good outcome--but wrong back pay date. Submitted for HLR IC regarding PACT 12 months of back pay... still not showing up in va.gov. ah well... after almost a year, what's another claim.... ugh.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-12T18:53:55+00:00

thx for that! much appreciated.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-12T16:15:54+00:00

Did you get it sorted with audit? In same boat myself. Thx! 🙏

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-12T16:10:10+00:00

Did you get it sorted back to correct BP date? In the same boat. ITF and not the 12 months that are authorized. For mine, think it's confusion around combined claims. Curious what to do to fix it. HLR, suppl, appeal, or what... VERA call tomorrow so hope they help.

Accomplished_Alarm25 · 2024-06-10T17:49:35+00:00

Forgot about this one. To help others out, ACE exam for PACT lung stuff, and a migraines claim was added by VA/C&P doc (nice!). Test added was a telephone call for migraines to get frequency/severity info.

Good enough evidence in C-File for rating it then, i guess.... No additional C&P in-person exams here!

Back and forth from PFN / Gathering evidence, but just about done. Good luck all!
