And...as I wrote before, everyone is charged the same. Let's assume "hypothetically" that the freight charge for a 2014 CB1100 is $350. If the dealer charges a customer $425, then there is $75 profit, FSVP. It's easy to argue that this isn't pure profit, so I don't want to go there. But 99.9% of customers don't negotiate freight & set-up. They just don't.
Now, I am really confused! If Honda charges the dealer $350 for freight, and the dealer charges you $425, that $75 is nothing but "pure profit". Dealer did nothing but add $ to your bill. How would dealer justify this?
