What the f***?! Damn, I sure hope that stealership gets what's coming to them. Here's a funny thing... There's a place called Mountain Motorsports near my place too and it's a crappy dealership as well. It's in Ontario, CA. They have a website mtnride.com (I think). They're full of bull and the salesmen are f***tards. Not all dealerships are bad, but this one is. Don't ever go there.

 

they still will not give me the owners #

I would call a local news station. A lot of them do consumer protection type stories, they might eat this one up. Hell if it were me i might even lie about it and call the dealer. Say hi im so and so from channel 80 news, and i would like to talk to the manager reguarding a story of fraud we are conducting for (enter your name here). Then just roll and bs with it from their. I would say there is a good chance your phone will ring shortly after.

 

How did you leave the dealership without knowing the prices were wrong?

 

Well, when dealing with any type of sales, keep in mind the price is negotiable, especially in mom and pop places (even furniture). My first car that I bought new was a '97 Z28 Camaro. I paid $300 over invoice because I had the group I was a member of that pre-negotiated deals. Ever since then, I had an idea of a ballpark figure to aim for when buying my other cars. Newly released cars are harder to deal with. They are only out to get your money, They are paid commission for their sales, so they will look after their own best interest.

We truly have lost our ability to haggle (we all saw the Life of Brian, right?) We take the sticker as the price these days. The thing you have to know, is that you can always walk out. They can stop you if they want to make the deal, or you just move onto another dealership.

The owner may care about this, because most dealerships do service, too. If the sales person is making the company look bad, that reduces the changes of further revenue.

 

Critter: BBB, file a complaint and let them know you're doing it.

 

I sent a e-mail to the owner saying what happen. and that I'm going to put this on every site I can in hopes that no one else gets riped off like i did!

as far as the price change it was the first time in my life that I payed cash for a new bike and just took there word for it and yes it was dumb as hell!

 

Paying cash for a bike is a great feeling, financing toys is a bad idea. I hope it works out for you.
