You nailed it Capo! Sadly few ever learn that reality of life.

What you left out ferret is in my experience in buying cars the end of the month is the best time as if the dealer sells it he does not own it into the next month and avoids the interest payment. I assume the same for bikes. It is business, my view is just like howitzer deal with my contractors; I am not out to screw them so low on price that they go out of business, but is don't want to be funding an high flying profit lifestyle either. Fair for both parties is fair.
So I always start it like this with the manager "You look like a smart guy that has been around this business so you must know there are two kinds of customers". A quizzical look appears and then " There are customers you will make a lot of money from and those you will not, and I think you are smart enough to know which one you are dealing with now". Get me out the door at a fair deal so you can rob the other sucker, but me I slap doe. The offer on a piece of paper. If he balks, I walk, I never waste time or play around. It works.
