Great Dealer. Great Deal. - rocket_imp - 09-19-2014
I tried to read the two threads about the bad dealers, but couldn't get through them. My anger just kept escalating.
When I decided to buy a Deluxe, I found one in Wisconsin for $9980. out-the-door. No tricks or hidden extras. Although Haul Bikes is running a promo for $525. anywhere in the U.S., it would have possibly been a month before I saw my bike ( Vermont requires special permits for 53' trailers & that makes Haul Bikes wait until they have a full load. ) So, I kept looking.
Found a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe at Parkway Cycle outside Boston for $10,445. OTD. And that price was quoted on the phone. They emailed a confirmation. I made an appointment to pick up the bike . I arrived. The paperwork took about 10 minutes. A tech went over the whole bike with me ( including how to remove the seat !! ). They loaded the bike in my trailer, and I drove away a happy new owner.
That is not special treatment. That's how a customer is supposed to be treated. I won't put up with any B.S. I just walk away or hang-up the phone. There are plenty of these bikes around & we deserve to be treated like WE would treat a customer.
P.S. Parkway has a new 2013 on the floor for $7999. Rocket.

Great to read that not only can it be done that way, but that it some cases, it IS done that way. I'm still shopping. When it comes time to make the purchase, I hope to have as smooth of an experience as you.

I called and he said a 2014 standard is 11 and change out the door which is the same as Bettencourts for example. I can get a leftover at Bettencourts for 8400+ fees.. And when all is sald and done, they have to make money somehow. It's nice to get a good deal for sure. But it's also nice that Honda made the bike available to us so I don't mind paying a reasonable price for it. If the prices get too low then the value is also low and they sit on the showroom floor until Honda says they aren't bringing it back again. I don't see it available for 2015 yet.

Congrats Rocket. I am the same way. I dont want any BS. I am not playing games with interest, set up, or anything else. Glad you found a good deal.
