Well if that is the case then I got mine for $11920, Got Gear Motorsports Ridgeland, Ms. speak with Raymond the sales manager in charge.

And I thought OTD is what you payed upon leaving the dealership, which is usually the bike, prep (if dealer charges), fees (if dealer charges), shipping (if dealer charges), tax, license, doc and title. After you've negotiated all of that (tax not negotiable) and have come to terms, that is your OTD price and you write a check and get the keys to the bike. Maybe I'm wrong?

That is my understanding as well. OTD pricing is supposed to cut through any hidden fees during the negotiation process and get to the final number.

Yes, but as mentioned earlier, there are many different sales tax and title, license fees in different states. To keep it clear, OTD for comparison purposes should be what the dealer charges, including freight, setup, doc fees, etc, but excluding state fees.

OTD is somewhat irrelevant as the prices will be all over the place, especially considering State tax and all the other varying fees each dealer applies. California is even worse with our special versions that only apply here. That said, I did get a similar OTD price to the lowest I have seen posted so I am happy. Just wish it would get here.

Someone should create a spreadsheet with the base price plus on-cost burdens. List it by vendor and state. That way people can get a view of what's going where. It could even be used as a powerful purchasing tool if used thoughtfully. I'd offer but hey I already got one ..... and with a great discount. ;D

Seriously, it would make a very interesting device that could bring benefits .... possibly.

I added purchased date as well. I think it's pretty good now.

Just noticed this.. I ordered mine at Burleson Power Sports. That is in Burleson Tx. My out the door price was 12,600 and if you take the 500 dollar deposit off, that makes it 12,100.

I only live 4 miles from the shop and could not ask for better people to deal with. The owner is a super guy that rides and will go the extra mile when dealing with Yamaha. The techs are also good guys to work with and very good at what they do..

As I do all of the maintenance on my bikes, this was important to me.

I was willing to give up the extra 200 dollars to help my local economy, and help the dealer keep his doors open..

On order Blue s10

If you feel like it, try adding your numbers to the price list I created. Let me know if you need help. Dealer information is optional.

All of the above is true iin my case, also, except that it is 10 miles to my local dealer. I bought my first new bike from them in 1973, a TX500 Yamaha and they have treated me well all these years. I could go 500 miles and save a few hundred dollars, but I am not about to do that, as I want to help them keep their doors open.

I seem to be having a small problem with the spread sheet... At the end it wants a rating but then it says I can't do that..
Any Idea's ..

thank you for giving that a go japako. I think the rating function is automatically provided by the system .... it's not needed. Just ignore for now. So your price is all inclusive then is it?
