    Unhappy My dealer has cut back...

    Well, I hope I don't regret buying my Spyder. My local BRP dealer has laid off two salesmen, the head of the service department and another employee. This is definitely a worrisome situation.

    My dealer is in Hoopeston IL. I know they can take care of you if Action goes south. They picked up alot of business when Raisor lost the BRP dealership.

    Unhappy

    I thought losing salespeople was bad...now, I find out at least one of the managers there took a 10% salary cut! They still have four '09 Spyders in stock...two red, one yellow and a Phantom. Starting to see more price cuts on their other brands: Honda, Suzuki, Star, etc... This is not good...

    Ok, i'm going to have to take a road trip & check these folks out. Decatur is closer for me but I don't mind traveling for solid work. I just bought a spyder with the 3000 mile service completed so I should be good until next summer. At least I assume the 6000 is next? I must finish reading the owners manual.

    So far, AMS has been very good, about servicing my SE-5. Both of their mechanics have a good handle, and check with the boss, if they're in strange waters...as they do with other makes. I'm comfortable with them, but prefer to keep an eye out, J.I.C. (Just In Case)
