I should have placed solid bets with people thinking they were going to get over MSRP for these things. Could have bought a second Pro R with my proceeds......

The whole situation is nuts...

The Dealership by me has a Tallon Live Valve R that has been sitting there for awhile.

They put on sale awhile back, for 19.9k 😱

I called em and said I'll take it, but they need to throw in an extended warranty.

No problem!

I'll just post the screenshot of my final text messages with them.

Needless to say, they won't selling that car to me!

Based on what I see at Bert’s they don’t come that set up. I’ve only seen the RZRs and Can Ams being unloaded but there’s some work to do before they’re ready to sell. I just bought a KTM 300 and they had to map the computer before it left. I was told they don’t do it so it won’t run if someone steals it.

Key word is was, no one wants to pay that kinda money for a oil leaker

I’m not gonna go back and look but I believe I said I’m making 15 on. The car at todays price plus another 25% on mods..

Selling for todays price plus 5 nets 20 on the car itself

I just docusigned all of my final delivery docs, will be picking up on Sunday the 17th.

Congrats. Are you picking up at SSSS? Last year when I said Robby was planning on delivering at the show I got jumped on by several people saying I was wrong and no way could they deliver at the show. It was illegal, etc etc. Wondering if it is really going to be cars delivered at the show.

I'm picking up, after the SSSS closes on Sunday, at 4pm.
I also remember seeing and relayed to folks that people could not take procession at the SSSS, guess I was wrong. they said I'll be getting about an hour with someone to go over the car, connect it to my phone, learn how to change a belt etc....then I can load it up.

My plan is to go directly to Golden Shores, unload it and take a small night cruise, then a morning cruise, but I'm going to need to come home Monday evening.

They can’t deliver AT the sand show.. but they can deliver outside of it.. or somewhere near it?

To my knowledge nobody even knows where the hell robby is gonna stick all these cars? That’s a lot of cars to put somewhere..

What’s the reasoning(legal I’m assuming) they can’t be delivered AT the show?

If you guys missed it, RG was just live and he said he’s expecting 99 cars to be delivered to his Corona facility this week

Also said working on the 2024 CARB/EPA tune, good to hear they started that process early. Or maybe it's late considering it's working with the government.

My only concern about speed Utv is this transmission.. I actually told Robbie he should have just made it forward neutral and reverse.. people trying to shift these things on the fly is gonna turn into a nightmare..
Not sure if they have it, but I think an ignition kill while it slams into gear would work great.

There're another 165 cars on the water which brings them to the high 200's that he talked about two weeks ago. They also were shipping high 200's El Jefe's last week. Remember there is about 100-150 bandits in this mix as well.

I saw one in the wild over the weekend in Willow Valley. First saw it Saturday morning at a gas station as I was driving by. Then it came flying down the SXS super highway that runs behind our house. Its a dirt road between our place and the alfalfa fields and he came by faster than anything else on that road that I have ever seen. Car looked and sounded good.

It can be done, but would require some sensors on the shift linkage to trigger the ignition cut. I am somewhat sure that the ECU has the program capabilities. We talked about it during the design process, but things were too far along to add that feature into what was already done on their end.

SMH....Additions like this just keep adding to the MSRP and more moving parts to fail on these UTVs. Cost of ownership is already through the roof

I posted a similar photo last week on another site and was told they keep those up for months after the sale. Which I think is strange, because if I buy an old dealership I’d want that down asap(But that’s me).

Is it 16.5 containers equaling 99 cars or 27.5 containers equaling 165 cars?
Eighter way I find it hard to believe that SPEED could accommodate this many containers in one shipment, you would need a few acres to off load and unload and a 100k sqft. bldg. along with several employee's.
Does SPEED have a large facility in Corona?
LHC received only a few containers with the very first shipment and that was a big deal.
