Selling for a penny less than 10k locally... is the pricing officially revised globally to soften the blow?

Piaggio USA still lists the MP3 530 Exclusive at $12K and in Europe the going rate is 13K Euro.

It may be worth to make a few calls to some other dealers and tell them you've got a brand new MP3 530 but that "it's not your thing" and see what they'd offer.

Maybe you can make a few bucks. Just make sure you get it in writing from said dealer (buying the bike) before you hand over any money on the selling dealer side.

2k price drop doesnt seem possible. seems thats likely just a website misprint.

In CA public prices are kind of legally binding. So website misprints can expose a company to nasty liability. But I am not buying so I dont know. But totally dismissing it is naive.

Look at the wording - "Starting at $9,999"; "Features may include..." etc.

Going back to the link, while the title still says "530", further down is says "2024 Piaggio MP3 500 Sport Exclusive"... weird. Piaggio is known to create weird US specials that are a mix mash of new and previous gen parts. My bike is one of those. Doesn't make me enjoy it any less.
