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.
If you can get a dealer to lower the freight charge, hats off to you. Freight charges and "dealer prep" charges seem to be non-negotiable.
