What pisses off most buyers are the hidden fees and what I call pack fees, like $400 for PDI....or just the yank your chain sales game.
We all know there's no $400 in labor on a mx bike PDI.
I knew what we needed to make off each model to keep the doors open, I was straight up front with the customer.
This is what the price is, tax, doc, shipping...otd total.
If they paid with a CC then they pay the points.
I had no problem showing the customer dealer cost and most times that sealed the deal.
Once the customer saw that "yes" I was making a little money on the sale but they weren't getting hosed, I pretty had a future repeat customer.
The no BS sales approach is the best.....at least it worked for me.

1. 90% of people who come in looking at bikes waste your time for hours, bitch about pricing, then when you`ve bent over backwards and taken off every bit of profit you can afford to you put in the credit app and they`ve got cell phone bills in collections and a credit score below 500.
2. If I sell a brand new KX450F for list price my margin is 9% that`s $900 on a $10,000 bike. That`s a laughable margin before the price gets haggled down.
3. The customers that get the most help, the best service and the best deals aren`t the whiny pricks who try to hammer the deal down to cost. If you come in acting like an asshole, there`s not a chance I`m moving someone else back in line to have your bike ready for Friday.
Also, I don`t know how it is where you are, but in Ontario dealers are not allowed to charge anything but listed price, tax and licencing on anything street legal.
Hopfully you know about the rebate and get it deducted from the price. If not the dealer makes full price and cashes in the rebate on top of that. Straight up double dip!!!
There are shady dealers out there that will hold rebates if a customer doesn't ask though.
Its an optical illusion!!!

I think they do this to prevent thieves riding them out of the dealership.
That could be a problem if you find a dealer to send you a crated bike
Also, how much money do you thin k there is for a dealer on a 5 year $10,000 loan at 5% interest? The answer is usually about $100 if the dealer is lucky. Out of curiosity i just checked a recent Sea-Doo sale of mine. $10,300 OTD, 4.98% on a 5 year deal. The bank makes $1300 off the interest. The dealer kickback was $10.38. TEN DOLLARS. So go on talking about how much we make off financing, we make sweet fuck all, the bank makes money.
It can be done when financing through non factory financing (2nd chance, credit unions) but not factory financing.
If you're financing through 2nd chance, non-prime or credit unions you can usually add a point or two before you show the rate to the customer.
Banks set the interest rate...not the dealer...so try again.
Edit: someone beat me to it.
It all adds up in the end.
So with respect, I will not pay it.
