I feel your pain. If there had been a CB1100 close to me, other than the one I have, I would have done it. Asking was something like $9200. After all the BS fees and taxes, $11900!!! I flipped out. Told him $10k out the door or I walked. Finally settled on $10.5k out the door. I said okay, I will talk to the bank. Next day the sales rep is texting me info about the bike and busts out with 'hey can your bank hurry, someone else is looking to buy your bike'. I lost it. The bank already approved my loan. I ripped in to the guy hard. He then said 'oh he left, I can pull it off the showroom floor'.
The fun didn't stop there.
My bank gets in touch, all work is done. I drive 1.5hrs in traffic to get there and pick it up and some 19 year old punk in finance is finishing my paperwork. He told my bank to book my loan for 10964. 464 over what we agreed. I, again, lost it. He starts getting an attitude with me and starts saying I'm full of crap and need to come back Monday to get the bike. No. You're fixing this and I'm riding this weekend. More talking. Finally he says I will come Monday for reimbursement check and I can take the bike. Picking up the bike and some service tech is asking how I want the throttle adjusted. Which is cool cause I asked early in the day if they would take the horrible lash out. Good to see it getting done now.
The fun still hasn't stopped.
I call Monday to let them know I'm an hour away and coming to get my check. Punk kid says 'yeah bro we will have it ready'. When I get there he tells the receptionist to go make it. She explains it takes a while and she will do it tomorrow. He makes her do it that day but only after I've arrived. How long does it take it get a check? 1 hour. How long does it take for his supervisor to walk over from next door cause he doesn't want to bother him? An additional 2 hours. I lost it again.
My intent was not to have a missing contest but to let you know, you're not alone. If you ever have the chance, find a dealer who is interested in taking care of you. And at least I haven't heard of anyone getting dragged through the mud like I did. Most unprofessonal place in the world. Honda of Houston.
