Came home to this today, my awesome wife got it for my birthday. Drove around a little, can't wait to try the ocala trails.
Very informative & funny, thanks!I can tell you around our neck of the woods: it depends who you ask.
The best I can tell "dealer invoice" is a BS number the dealer is able to use to pretend they are giving machines away. I know for a fact that in the auto industry that's how it works: dealer invoice is a number used as a bargaining chip, but its not true dealer cost.
I had some dealers tell me the volume guys get a kick back, some guys tell me they are getting the product cheaper, etc. Everyone had their own little spin on it.
My favorite was "Abernathy's must be buying wrecked units at a special dealer only auction- that's how they sell all those soo cheap. Then they do repairs and sell them as new products. They retain the factory warranty but I wouldn't want one"Honda must be dropping a LOT of Pioneers off the side of semi-trucks of that's the case

I was just quoted $23,999 +940 delivery charge PLUS $2420 build price for a Talon 4 seater live valve. It would be a cold day in heck before I would agree to that.

I paid 20,500 out the door for my 2021 Talon X in upper Michigan. Not bad considering SE Michigan including NW Ohio were all quoting freight and prep plus MSRP...
400 less than msrp with a super atv flip out window for a 1000x 4 Corbin ky

I’m new and on the hunt for a 1000x-4 live valve. In AZ, no one has them/sold out months in advanced. On a waiting list and was quoted 27K after all the lovely tax, title, license, destination and delivery fees. Supply and demand indeed...

Canakii - just my thoughts but I'd widen my search parameter with the notion of traveling a few states away, picking up new ride from dealer, spending a few days riding, eat and lodge well, keep the truck well fueled and still return home with a couple thousand in savings. AR, TN and MS each have dealers that will smoke your deal and lots of good riding ... esp TN. But then I'm retired and love to travel and ride.

Can't disagree...this idea is in the back of my mind for future consideration. Not sure i want to drive out to TN but perhaps closer is an option.

Ha, I hear you. Just crossing Texas alone is a pain. Seems all utv's are hot ticket items everywhere and more so in AZ I'm sure given its beauty, available ride areas, covid... Love to be out your way right now but probably ride Windrock (TN) again next...never fails to please. Good luck on your search.

Excellent advice, and something I’ll certainly consider. Unfortunately I’m still a slave to the daily work grind and don‘t have the luxury of taking off a big enough chunk of time to both pickup a new ride as well as ride for a few days. Though I’m not entirely opposed to consider making it a turn around trip if the cost savings is there. Definitely something to explore.

I was quoted $25,300 out the door for a base model 1000x. They are tacking $2500 on top of MSRP here in OC. I declined their offer.

I'd like to be the fly on the wall when Honda internally discusses missed sales projections due to product logistic and supplier issues.
I can't fault dealers for pricing whatever the market will bear. I don't like it but I understand it, knowing it's still my choice to purchase or not.
Kudos to Honda for building US mostly (other than made in Japan engine), now they need to fix the supply chain.

I just put a down payment on a 2021 4 seat live valve from a local dealer. After researching and shopping a month I have a greater appreciation and understanding of the market. I should have it within the month, just in time for my 2nd trip down into Baja, along the Sea of Cortez. It will be replacing my baja bug.
