| I have finally reached that point where I can consider buying a new or new to me Vision. I can really start looking at the end of August and want to have one purchased by march of 2014. Since I live in SW Ohio I ride basically from Early to Late March to Thanksgiving I am not in a big hurry and really want to get the best deal possible since I am cheap. Still debating on new or used. I would go used if I could find one with an extended warranty. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

flagstaff, AZ | I've always had good luck with major purchases at the end of the month, when sales quotas are trying to be met. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | End of September would be good. The 14's will be in, the leftover 13's gotta go, it'll be the end of a month and close to the end of riding season for alot of people in Ohio.............. |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | As far as the time of year-I've bought 3 new Victory's ('99, '03, & '09) and all were the last years models purchased in February & March. Might not work in Arizona but when there's a foot of snow on the ground the dealer's seem more willing to clear inventory-especially ones that aren't dealing snowmobiles. Motorcycle prices always seem to peak around Sturgis Rally time and then taper off as the weather cools around here. |

Hoping for the dealers sakes, that there are no 12 models left over.............. I am ready for the day Victory sells 15,000 bikes a year....... |

Peru, IN | Give it about a month (just after the '14s hit the floor). That will make the '13s holdovers (last years models). Dealers want current models on the floor, not last years stuff. |

Grand Cane, LA | Come down to Louisiana. I know where there are 2 2012 Visions still on the showroom floor. Both of them are the bronze mist if you're not picky about the color. Couldn't believe either one was still at the dealerships while I was looking for a new 2014. Both dealerships didn't even try to make me a deal on those bikes. I thought maybe they were not for sale or something. |

Central Illinois | ATV, if they don't do something to get those bikes out the door you will see them again next year. The dealer has failed to understand his own business. A 2 year old bike is simply not worth as much to most people as a current model year, no matter how low the mileage is. If I bought a '12 today I would expect at least a $4000 discount and maybe more. It is not that I don't understand that it is a new bike, what I understand is that when I want to sell it in a couple of years it will be a lower mileage'12, not a '14 and I need to keep that in mind as a buyer. Otherwise I eat the loss of value rather than the dealer who owns that leftover. |
