I've been getting ready to buy a 2016 tiger 800 xrx new and recently came across someone selling a used 2015 with only 1,000 miles on it for $9,000. The caveat is that I would have to drive 6 hours each way to look at it and potentially buy it and also need a loan.
The owner claims that he has an extended warranty on it also. The thing that scares me is that I'm worried that my local triumph dealer would be hesitant to honor warranty items since I didn't purchase from them directly, anyone have experience with getting their bike serviced from a different dealer than where you purchased the bike from? any color commentary to add?
Also looking for advice on the pros and cons of buying privately vs dealer. Obviously the loan APR is way less from a dealer, but the price difference is huge being that a new 2016 xrx is $12,700 from dealer and this one is like new for $9,000. Even a higher loan rate would only end up being $1,000 in potential interest which would still be $2,700 cheaper. Thoughts??
