good morning , I tried to buy a BMW r1250gsa 2 days before I bought my new Tenere , I was ready . I like the Beemer ,always have. went to the local dealer about 3 times to be sure I really wanted to do this ..... and finally I am ready. the sales person was a good guy but his boss had attitude . almost as if I should be lucky to just be in a room with the bike . the sales guy asked if he could run some numbers my way , go ahead I say . way to under whelm me with the offer , its a BMW you should be proud to pay what ever we say you should . 25000.00 dollar motorcycle , a 600.00 discount . thinking they want even give me a nickel for my trade .... so I hit the pause button. ... maybe well off people are stupid like that , pay full price cause if you have to ask , well you can't afford it.... so how did they ever get there money. so I hang around a little while longer to see if they will work with me , nope . so I left . I am ready for a new bike , so cycle country has a new 2019 , discounted 2k and gave me 4k for my trade and I added some cash . easy deal I was very happy and I know the bike , I am even liking the paint color now. if the BMW dealer would have offered a reasonable discount and a good value for my trade I would be on a GSA today . sad , I felt like the manager prequalified me on the floor , I could have paid cash for the whole amount if I had not felt slighted and talked down to. wife had given me her permission . are all of the BMW DEALERS like that ? well I will never know what a Beemer ownership experience will be like , to bad for them.
