Where to buy a new Suzuki GS150? What is its minimum price?

[smusamashah]

I was suggested to check private dealers selling GS150 SE for 125k to 135k.

Retail price of GS150: 143k cash, 12 month installment 55k down payment
Retail price of GS150 SE: 163k cash, 12 month installment 70k down payment

So I went looking. One dealer was selling new GS150 for 115k cash (27k less) on a special two day discount. Second for 125k cash with a free dryer/microwave/fan. Third with their own workshop for 134k cash final with a helmet. Invoice was available for few bikes and he told me that I can even get bike number in an hour.

They were all giving same Suzuki 6 month 6,000km warranty. Registration papers arrive in around 2 weeks.

I told last dealer about 115k price and he said their is not this much margin they could be selling a used bike with meter reversed, or their can be some other problem. I wanted to buy a black 2018 model, only red was available so he offered me to replace its tanky with black one. That sounded equally fishy. So I left without buying.

I have never bought a new bike myself so my questions are following:

• What to look for when buying a new Suzuki GS150?
• Should I buy from a dealer or from a Suzuki's own showroom?
• 115k is really an attractive price and way to low then retail price but can it be a fraud, should I buy it?
• How can dealers sell at prices this low, why so much difference?

What to look for when buying a new Suzuki GS150?

I can only tell you about this point.
When buying a Suzuki GS 150 check for handle alignment, the rear wheel and front wheel should be in line check them by parking the bike on Centre stand, front shocks shouldn't have any scratches on them otherwise on a later stage they might start leaking due to those scratches, any other scratches on body part's or some paint imperfections..
Also get dust covers for clutch and brake levers installed at time of purchase.

My previous 150 had the balance issue, its handle was heavy on left side. Many other people have also claimed similar thing that it is due to its frame.

From 2012-14 i guess there was that imbalance issue in some bike's. Haven't seen such in new bike's now. But it would be better to inspect at the time of purchase.
