Slingshot

[SAPD911]

Local dealer is charging $1600 setup fee and full msrp price. And said they would give me 18k for my 2014 Rts SE6/1200 miles. I laughed and left.

 

[Chupaca]

Good for you..!!

I would have laughed as well....let the fanfare wear off a bit and try again. Hot item right now so they will charge what they want till the sales stagnate. Won't be long...:thumbup:

I just couldn't believe the setup fee.

Totally accept the MSRP-- there's a LOT of interest, plenty of dealers have already pre-sold their initial allotments, so the market is speaking-- but that setup fee is frakkin' theft. :shocked:

 

[ARtraveler]

It looks to me like you made a good decision. MSRP is bad enough, then add on a set up fee and try to steal your trade in? :yikes:

:banghead: They forgot to do their research... :gaah:

:banghead: They forgot to do their research... :gaah:

Which, in 2014, there simply is no excuse for when buying a vehicle.

I'm still shocked at how many people just waltz into car, bike, boat, etc. dealerships and put down money, no questions asked, without having done any research at all, let alone comparison shopping (either in person, or online). "Oooh, that looks neat, and it's in the color I wanted, too!"

I haven't bought a car in more than fifteen years that didn't involve time spent on Edmunds, KBB, and similar sites, and I didn't buy my Spyder before spending a month here and cross-shopping on Cycle Trader, etc.

Now, if I ever win that Powerball, I'll be happy put the salesman's kids through college, but until then, I'm doing my research. :thumbup:

:agree: Once my "PowerBall Retirement Plan" kicks in; look out, World!! :2thumbs:

$3,000 set up fee...! "Run Forrest, Run" :yikes: That's almost twice as bad as the $1,600 spoken of yesterday.

Avoid that double dealing dealer like the plague. They are not your friends. :roflblack::roflblack:

 

[cuznjohn]

every time i see something like that and i would love to own one, i am reminded of my ex

 

[ThreeWheels]

I've been told by good authority that a Morgan cannot be registered in CT. It's neither a car nor a motorcycle.
That would include the Trex and the Slingshot.

 

[SAPD911]

Guys, I have fibbed. These dealers are telling me the $980.00 freight is included in that price! lol

 

[Bob Denman]

But the other guy was charging $100...
That included freight also! :thumbup:

 

[SAPD911]
