But

But it is available for purchase and same day delivery!
They is great. Have you slid $10k under each ass cheek before? I was doing that up until about an hour ago and it felt good! I can wait another couple months..

I bought another RZR to hold me over and take the kids to school in 🤣

Questions to the deposit holders of RDP. How much have you actually paid speed so far, with deposit + accessories that you have pre-purchased? Everyone I know that has an order has paid speed at least $10k so far. Most paid a good chunk to lock in the accessories prices last year. Wonder if this is the norm or only the 4-5 people that I happen to know putting down big bucks. It isn't just a $1500 deposit like people are making it seem.

I spent 11k on both my four seaters in accessories., plus 1500 for the deposit


I’m not sure how you could spend 22k on accessories.. 😳.

Obviously he put in twice the effort.

You can't just coast through life and expect to overspend without trying.

Slacker. 🤨

And you still don't have a car

Yes I do 🤣

Please tell me what I’ve missed waiting for my Speed car.

Msrp minus 6k plus tax title lic and freight. No extended warranty. No accessories. It was less than msrp out the door. It only took 3 weeks of phone calls and e-mails. They have nothing left in stock. I was patient. I’m in sales. I just kept grinding. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Additional dealer markup

You get a quote from Parker Yamaha? Now that they sold out. Prices high?

Pro R or Turbo R? Looks like a Turbo based on color. Nice pickup!

I think the Turbo is the better all around car anyway. Pop a tuner in it and it will run with a Pro if you care.
I don’t dune. It’s plenty fast here. I’ve had three XP’s and a Max3 Turbo r Canam. This thing feels so stout. It doesn’t creek or have any body flex. It’s really nice. The Canam felt low and cumbersome, I got it high centered once. Bottomed it out a lot. This thing feels way taller. Not sure why, but I’m super happy with it. Maybe next round I’ll get a Speed car since he’s my neighbor. I wasn’t missing another season. My wife was pregnant and it’s been two years. 😬

Stock 32’s and not a lowered stock ride height… it’s probably 10” to a foot higher than a the Can Ams max’s from a few years ago. The first ones high centered everywhere if you didn’t raise them. Plus you sit up straighter/higher in Polaris cars vs Can Ams.

Those are really nice cars! If I wasn’t getting a speed, I’d have one of those.

Did you get one without ADM? The only ones I’ve see with rebates and no ADM are the 64” cars.
Not all of the Ridenow locations have the same prices and deals. Peoria and Surprise suck, IMO, but Goodyear is usually willing to deal. I bought a Turbo R 4 Ulitimate same weekend as the SSSS, No ADM, no fuss, for 5k below MSRP. I got them to remove the 499 “lifetime battery” but they wouldn’t budge a dime below that.

Solid work. I’m glad we are tracking back to normal a bit.

These things come with a legit cage. All the a arms are boxed. Aluminum roof. 32” tires. Full doors. 6 point retractable harnesses. It doesn’t need a whole lot right out of the box.

Not sure how big guys put the 6 point harnesses on, lol. But they are really nice.

I’m too cheap to buy anything with additional markup or accessories. Lol. My first thought is how much am I going to lose when I put it for sale in 5 months. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was pleasantly surprised at how well built and equipped these are. I like most have dumped a ton of money into accessories, but I didn’t feel like I had to spend a ton of money just to get the car ready to use.

Same here. I’ve been shopping for a little
over a year or so, but was waiting for some kind of deal. Was originally planning on a can-am but still haven’t seen any deals. Very happy with the Turbo R. I like the speed car but it’s too big for my toyhauler.

Preaching to the choir. Lol. I had an XP with an SDR cage, roof, doors, windshield, pocket lights, rims, tires, seats, harnesses, shock therapy, car to car, blah blah blah. It’s never ending. I looked for a nice used one, but I’m not buying something with 4/5k miles for mid 20’s that I can’t sell when I put another couple thousand miles on it. This car made sense.

Even used prices are coming down a bit. Picked up that 2019 XP turbo with 400 miles on it today For less than $6k more than I sold my 2016 1000 with 5500 miles on it last week.

New car needs a couple things and then it’s good to go.

A turbo in Parker is plenty.. I rarely could even open my old turbo up out there..

I almost bought what you got. There was a “used” Turbo R here in town with 152 miles on it for a good price.

Much better car for sure, but for putting around town and most of the riding here I didn’t need anything too crazy and happened upon this one in good shape with no miles.

Max3 Turbo with 33" and adjusted ride height not low at all, 75 lb. Lab for reference. 😁

I loved my canned ham. It was pretty big though

I probably didn’t give mine a fair chance. I bought it. Found out my wife was pregnant. The doctor told her no off-roading. I literally used it a handful of times. One time I got stuck on a big rock. Had to get dragged off of it. Another time it blew a belt. It was bottoming out all over the 425 course. I don’t think I adjusted the ride height though. I sold it right away.

They need to be raised from stock, especially the earlier ones. Your truck had more ground clearance as they came from the factory 🤣

So you sold your car, thinking your Speed car would arrive soon and now purchased a ‘new to you’ car.
Guess you finally realized your speed car is not arriving anytime soon :). A portion of folks who post in this thread have been telling you that for months :)

I think I'm at about 9K in accessories and deposit. I added nets, a radio/intercomm/headsets, the Kicker audio, cause the wife wanted a stereo, it's going to be her UTV, rear light bar, spare tire and wheel, storage boxes, front windshield, rear and side view mirrors, a jack, and seat heaters.

Wrong buddy. I have no problem waiting another couple months.

Plan was always for 2 cars since I moved. Was going to keep mine but decided since prices were coming down, it was like a $7k swing for a fresh car. No Speed parts in UT, and no need to have a top line car here.

Towing a car across the desert makes 0 sense.

You change your story to fit the narrative. How the F can you classify a Speed car as a Top Line car?
Zero independent testing has occurred and ZERO customer cars delivered last time I checked.
IMO to be considered top line, customers must actually have cars and independent testing must occur.
