seems a bit high IMO you will have paid over 15k + your trade!! save your money look for a used one saw a niceyellow 5gen on ebay sold for just over 4k. you have all winter to look, you will probably get a better deal on a 07 in the spring anyways. also look in the US
good luck

Chomper is a wise person. To me motorcycles are great toys...and should be purchased outright with no payments, including insurance.

In the U.S. we have a tendency to get into debt way over our heads, probably due to the fact that we seem to have the need for instant gratification.

Get your calculator out and add it up, it comes out to $19,000.00 including your trade. That seems a LOT high to me , but what do I know.

I don't know the Canadian conversion but it seems way high to me. I bought my 06 off ebay for $7500 out the door price from a dealer, brand new with 15 miles. I would shop around. My insurance runs $572 a year, I'm 37.

My bad, My bike is NOT abs. I think abs models were $1000 or so higher.

[altransam]

Do not do it! this bike is worth no more than $10,000, just paid $12,200 for an '07 anniversary red-white-blue demo in Mtl

plus, you can finance thru Honda an '07 from 1.9% for 24 months, 2.9% /36, 3.9% /48-60 so..... AND 2 years warrenty !

That is why i bought in Canada instead of the States, just financing on a personnal loan at 9-10% would have eaten the difference and more in purchase price....

Your dealer must be drunk!! After including your trade, I come to 20,300!!!! Are they CRAZY??? I'd buy an older, cheaper one for cash after selling your trade-in bike. Let me recheck my math...
....130 bi-weekly = 130 x 26 = 3380 per year
....3380 x 5 years = 16,900
....16,900 + 3400 (value of trade in bike) = 20,300 = TOO MUCH!! (about 10G too much.) Did I misfugure?

I am new to this forum also and looking for a VFR, the problem? You guys aren't selling them,...haha. Maybe I'll find an early Xmas present somewhere.

Sorry, just had to repeat what I feel is no-brainer advice.

Hey PorsheBob, Have you been listening to Dave Ramsey?

[jeff8478]

It's weird that there are 130 payment of $130 each, but at 4.9%, the present value of that loan is $13,092, taking the time value of money into account i.e., today's value of the future payments discounted at 4.9%.

Add the trade in, and that means you're paying $16,492. If you're buying this in Ontario, your before-tax price is $16,492/1.14 = $14,500.

The MSRP of the 2006 is CAN$14,399 for the ABS model. So, you'd be paying more than the MSRP. I wouldn't do that.
