My dealer experience this morning

[Bfromla]

One way yes. I got super lucky deal on mine & in be coming friends with the crew @ dealership i learned how the various surveys they send me affect their rating ...cost of parts & units. Not just the quota most might be use to. So if ur dealer is platinum certified they earned it & wanna keep it. In my area i have 10 dealers NSEW of me. The closest is the 1 not ranked @ jack squat. Lol & i see why. Happy to get 1hr ride out of town for proper help!

You're not that far, I'd call Brewer's in Henderson, NC. They likely won't be as cheap as the mail order folks, my RT-S was 24,9 in October, but they are a darned good dealer and provide excellent service. These guys assemble the machine correctly and they don't screw around in the office with hard sells for add-ons and junk.

Been trading with them for a whole lot of years and they have a good reputation around here.

If anyone knows Lone Spyders please get him to respond to my PM for his for sale ad in the classifieds.

10-4 on Brewer Cycles. Excellent dealer. Just a few miles off I85.

What you got was standard car salesmen procedure. Good guy (salesman) bad guy (sales manager). Usually, when you walk, they come back with a better offer, but not always.

Your dealer may be correct about hidden charges. Ask the online dealers for an out-the-door price IN WRITING.

Louis motorsports is 23,500 for the RT limited. No hidden Mickey Mouse charges. I know several who bought there. The day I was leaving town for the Hill Country Ride near San Antonio, TX and to pick up a new RT Limited from them I called the local dealer to see if he could match there price. They did and then some. My RTL had the comfort heated seat installed. Vented windshield, back rest and a few other things which add up to $2500 plus. I paid $23,500 plus TTL same as Louis Sports plus all the goodies. They gave me same price as Louis for my 13 RTS. I am just as hard to deal with as the dealers. Don't be shy or afraid to walk. You can bet they still made money or they would not have sold it to me. This dealer has 36 BRP dealerships around the Southwest and Florida. Pretty much a monopoly around these parts and usually very hard to deal with.

Extenuating circumstances

The deal you offered IS below what the dealer paid. Dealers like Louis Powersports will sell end of year below what they paid to gain access to rights to ensure they will be able to buy more 2015 models from the factory. They have very little overhead and do very little trade-in business. Plus, if they are out of white then you are going to be hard pressed to find white.
You do not really have too much control over this deal and I say that what he is offering you is a pretty honest deal on a Limited model anyway. If I were you I would go back with an offer around what they are asking. Why argue over a thousand bucks when your options are VERY limited (no pun intended). The prices went up big time in this model year and end of year sales are many months away.

Good luck

...yes, I agree and I can't say I had a good experience with Louis as they wanted to skin me on
my trade in, so the local dealer here in Hot Springs was $25,000 for a Ltd. but gave me above
wholesale on my trade.....they have a White LTD also now but they are $25,500. They say the white one is $500 more for the pearl paint, so I got the cognac....2weeks ago.

A lot of truth

has finally worked its way to the top in this thread. But there is still the unknown. I suppose some of the "I know for a fact" people will always amuse me.

You might contact Albert, internet sales manager at Central Florida Powersports (407-847-2342). There is a reason they were the National 2014 Dealer of the Year for Can Am Spyder
