Well i went to the dealership today and priced an 07 Busa. WOW I had no idea how much these things went up since 2005. These people have been hittin the crackpipe and I mean hard. I would never reccommend this place for anything not even to put airr in my tire. My father has had a bad run in with them and my buddy who was dumb enough to buy a bike from them had nothing but trouble.
First I will tell you all the dealers name. It is Chicago Sport and Cycle in Midlothian,IL. I would stay away at all cost. Anyhow to my fathers story. he brought his Goldwing in for a recall. Mind you this dealer is supposed to honor all 4. Anyways they broke the battery cover nub I guess you would call it and cracked the cover. Then had the nerve to tell him that this was his problem!!!!!!
Okay i say all dealers aren't perfect. So my friend buys a kaw mean streak from them. Ok he pays 11,000 dolars for this big V-Twin. I guess that isn't too bad right. Well the least they could have done after waiting 2 hours for the salesman to NOT be SOOOOO busy is CLEAN THE DAYUM BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe even add a little gas so we could make it down the street without the bike sputtering? HMMMMMMMMMMM!!
Anyways now to my story. I decide to entertain myself and ask about an 07 Busa. Now mind you I am ready to buy. Just haven't decided on a color yet. Anyways, I ask Adam Ant, er I mean the salesman what the price is on this Busa. He hits me with 11,2 or 11,3. I say out the door he says no you have to add on taxes and all the freight and setup and of course taxes. It came out to OVER 12,000 dollars. So I say to Adam and his Ant that was standing next to him You are NUTZ!! So he then plays the typical sales role and asks if I am ready to buy today. I say pal don't worry I am not gonna waste your time lets see if we can come to an agreement. So he then asks well how much do you wanna spend. I told him 10,500. I know that may be a couple hundred low but I wanted to low ball a little. He says let me talk to my boss. So like 15 min goes by and I am like WTF. Where is this guy? He comes back and says I will sell you the bike for 9999,plus 499 for freight and setup. Then I say to him how much out the door? He tells me 11,5. I go so you want me to beleive that there is 1500 in taxes? I go I will go 10,900 out the door. So then he goes let me see. Can you put money down today? I simply said to him I am not prepared to repeat my self for third time. Just do your dayum job. So another 15 min goes by. I finally have had enough I walk back to the office to where him and his boss are and tell them they are both nuts I am not getting ripped off on a bike I already own an 05 and I did not pay anywhere near 11,500. I said at least I know why know one is in here buying bikes with 5 inches of snow on the ground. Then the manager says well how much do you wanna pay I told him I was willing to go 10,900 but now I would only give 10,500 for the way that I was treated. He said by and I walked out the door.
I guess my point is to anyone who is in motorcycle sales. You never know who has the money. i may have looked a little on the bum side but I had plenty of plastic to back me UP!!!!! I am so sick and damn tired of dealers trying to rip off people. Claiming they will match price and everything else is a bunch of crap. They are the highest anywhere. Anyways I just wanted to let people know before they get wrapped up with these crooks who they were.
