This is really bothering me. I here that some people are getting some ridicules OTD prices. Some are getting 18,500 to 21,000. To me this seems a bit high. I here some dealers responding with there assembly guy don't work for free but If BRP can't fit 2 side by side in there trucks it is telling me that they must be already assembled. I understand tax, freight & setup, tags, etc., But at those prices it seems kind of steap. Im wondering if anyone here knows what there OTD price is?

The silver one should be $15,300 + tax and tags in your state, the yellow should be $400.00 more, any more is getting ripped off. You need a new dealer

nothing would get the price to 18,000.00 to 20,000.00 accept a BRP price increase

Understand...just saying that freight and set-up charges may be on top of MSRP, tax and tags.
Here's what I come up with:

Cost of Spyder = 14,999.00
Setup = 1,000 (should be closer to 500.00)
Tax of 7.75 in my area = 1162.42
Total without shipping = 17161.42

Mine was 14,999 + 500 setup
Mine was 14,999 + 500 setup
I'm sure that's what my setup cost will be as well.
Well...here's the skinny from my Dealer.
$14,999.00 base price
$561.00 for frieght cost
$371.00 set-up fee. It seems now that the front end is NOT installed, to allow ease of shipping.
Add local state tax, title, blah, blah blah.
$16,600.00 was the "On The Road" price I was given.
Mine yellow spyder is $15,299 + 1223.92 Sales Tax = $16,522.92

No setup or delivery fees.

Hi,
I'm in Michigan and here is the info directly off my invoice. I ordered silver.
Sales Price $14999
Freight & Setup $600
Sales Tax $899.94
License & Title fees $28.00

Total out the door was $16526.94

Now my husband paid an extra $300 for the yellow one and because of that his sales tax was $18.00 more so his total out the door was $16844.94

The only way that anyone is OTD at 18k - 21k is financing or accessories added to the standard price.

I know I'm just over 20K with accessories (4,001.23 with tax)


I wanted it fully dressed so I got everything I wanted - that was 15 out of 20 items.

$13,999 selling price
$459 freight
$149 prep/assembly
$199 Doc fees
$78.50 tag/ title
$888.57 sales tax

$15, 773 OTD
Thats a good price, I paid about the same.

FYI, just for anyone that hasent worked at a dealer...."doc" fee's, "assembly" and usually freight are made up costs....

I want to thank all that have replied to this post. It makes me fell alittle better about the price. I was getting concerned on if I was going to be able to afford the Spyder.

I would agree that there could be a bit of "cushion" added to those prices but normally a dealership has to pay to get the machines shipped and assembled. Documentation fees are how some finance people make their commission and get paid for doing the credit applications. If a dealership doesnt out right charge for freight and PDI then they are probably taking it off the MSRP (AKA their profit). Kinda like a furniture place advertising "Dont pay the taxes this weekend!" Someone has to give the government its share. The point is that in MY opinion these are real costs but the added "Freight and PDI fee" may not reflect the exact dealer cost of shipping and doing the pre-delivery inspection/assembly.
Here's a quick itemized list of pricing I paid.
Handling = $379.00
Doc Fees = $200.00
Freight = $569.00
Don't know about the doc fee but I'm certain the dealer will gladly explain it to me when I ask.
