I tried to read the two threads about the bad dealers, but couldn't get through them. My anger just kept escalating.
When I decided to buy a Deluxe, I found one in Wisconsin for $9980. out-the-door. No tricks or hidden extras. Although Haul Bikes is running a promo for $525. anywhere in the U.S., it would have possibly been a month before I saw my bike ( Vermont requires special permits for 53' trailers & that makes Haul Bikes wait until they have a full load. ) So, I kept looking.
Found a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe at Parkway Cycle outside Boston for $10,445. OTD. And that price was quoted on the phone. They emailed a confirmation. I made an appointment to pick up the bike . I arrived. The paperwork took about 10 minutes. A tech went over the whole bike with me ( including how to remove the seat !! ). They loaded the bike in my trailer, and I drove away a happy new owner.
That is not special treatment. That's how a customer is supposed to be treated. I won't put up with any B.S. I just walk away or hang-up the phone. There are plenty of these bikes around & we deserve to be treated like WE would treat a customer.
P.S. Parkway has a new 2013 on the floor for $7999. Rocket.
