Ferret is right, I also worked at a large dealer for 9 years and even though I worked in com. parts I know how it
"worked". The owner where I worked liked to keep the depts. at odds with each other. When I bought my new scooter and traded in my Yamaha XT250 I could tell from the contract that each dept. got their piece of "Meat".
even though I did the whole trade for $250. They listed the scooter at retail - the Honda rebate and showed
my trade in very much inflated and the F&I got his "fees". It worked out in the end. I had gone in with the idea
of not spending no more then $1000 so I thought I did well , I did kinda freak out though when they sent me over to parts to check out acc. and I had to tell the young fella about all the times I did the same thing standing behind the counter just like him. He looked at the gray hair and all the age lines and gave me a strange look \_/
