My mind is made up, now I need to see which dealer will give me the most in trade-in VS sale price VS service VS whatever else I can negociate on...
I guess this could also be called "why daddy drinks" and "how to not choke someone who clearly thinks you are a moron".
Went to the closest Yamaha dealer near my place... never had a good vibe from there in the past but... i'm always willing to give a second chance and being close could be nice.
It started with the sexist remarks toward my wife when we both walked in with our full gear on after parking both bikes in front... and the first thing that came out of his mouth when I sat on a Tenere in the showroom was "You dont want to sit in the back to see if you like it?"... wife pretty much told him to fuck off. Not a good first impression.
I totally expect to be lowballed when providing a trade-in, that's part of the game... Part of the negos, if you actually get there.
But being outright lied to the point of telling me I dont know what i'm talking about over Yamaha NOT offering extended warranty according to this guy, only his "super awesome 3rd party warranty" that also happens to be more $$$(and he gets bigger kickbacks)... I dont think so.
Support your local dealer they said...
Going to see some out of town dealers that have been friendlier to me in the past. So much for giving the local dealer another try.
