I'm about to buy a Scrambler and the dealership has a 2015 and a 2016. As I understand, but are identical bikes buy they will give me a really good deal on the 2015.

Am I missing something here?
Is there a catch?
What would you choose and why?
Any impact on resale?

Thanks

Hey Mich so far as I know the bikes are identical, mechanically and aesthetically speaking. Were it my choice I would most definitely take "the deal" and own the original model year

There the same bike just registered at different times, go for the cheaper one and save a bit of money on the depreciation. Good luck

First year 2015 will have more resale value. There is not difference between the bikes so save some money now and get more money when you sell it.

I'd go for the '15

The '15 makes most sense. Whichever you choose you'll end up with a great bike so save yourself some money...

Save 2015

Will the original 2015's be more sought after in time?

With the amount of scramblers sold in the first year I very much doubt it, but we can only live in hope..lol

I agree,but the theme seems to be the earlier registrations will in time be sought after,who knows. I am just happy with my classic.

If it helps, I got my 2016 last September. That's before they announced the sixty2 and flat track pro. It's definitely the same bike as the 2015.

Dealers typically try to dump their previous year's inventory because they need to push their new model years. Lucky for you and others in your situation, since the Scrambler is essentially the same from 2015 to 2016, I'd definitely go with the 2015 and save yourself some money for farkling!
