You might kick some tires on a 2024 model to see how good of a deal you can get. It might be worth it if you can save several thousand dollars on a 2024 model and get instant gratification.
Thanks for your advice, but I've already test drove the Ridge Limited, and yes, I'd probably save at least $4,000 by buying the 2024 model. Hey, now you've got me reconsidering my wait for the 2025. However, I'm still enjoying my 2018 FXR with 8500 miles. At age 82, and in failing health, I want the comfort of the cab, heater ,and air conditioning.
It sounds ike you got an excellnt deal. If I could buy the Limited for around that price, I'd do it now. The dealership has offered me $8000 trade in for my 2018 FXR, and the amount I would have owed was a little more than $27,000. Your deal sounds better!
Update: I ordered my new 2025 Camo Kawasaki Ridge HVAC on 21 January & the estimated delivery is two to 6 weeks. I just sold my old 2018 FXR Mule.
Congratulations! The time is going to drag by, /me thinks!
That's a heck of a friend!
Yes, he is a good friend, actually a neighbor, too. He already has a Polaris 500 that he uses for plowing snow, and plans on keeping both side by sides. I now feel weird driving my Mule, knowing it isn't really mine.
I think we are the same; in reality, I won't drive the FXR unless necessary to pick up large packges at my mailbox, which is 1/4 mile away. I normally walk to my mailbox, but use the Mule when large packages are expected. At my age, just days away from 83, my energy level is dwindling. Plus, being old, I don't beat on stuff, and my 2018 FXR is almost like new, but has over 8800 miles.
