So basically , I pulled the trigger on a new 2018 crf250r on Saturday the 17th at Honda House of Richmond . Trying a new dealership and new brand as my old dealer burned me 1 to many times . I did not plan on buying that day but did anyways and told them I would be back to pick it up the 19th which was yesterday , Monday . They said that was absolutely fine , the bike had already been set up and was on the showroom floor . So I arrived yesterday morning to pick it and a ATV that I bought up while the atv was ready to go . I was told there was a problem by the frantic sales manager . They had taken the battery from the bike and given it to another costumer because his took a crap . Well yes that is a problem . Anyways they said they would order a new battery , later to find out none are available all back ordered .. So they proceed to not call me later in the day for a update , so I call them and ask whats up . They claim they had to order a new bike in the crate for a new battery , and it will be atleast a week . Mind you I have already paid for this bike .
What would you do in my situation , do I have ground to be upset or am I just salty with dealers because of the past?.. I feel like saying screw these guys and just going back to the ringer with my old dealer and deal with their " you need us " attitude because one thing for sure I was always served when I said I would be . Just had to pay a premium for it !

The Shop
Let them know that charges might possibly not be pressed if you suddenly found a few new hundies in your wallet just hanging around...........
Seriously, if you'd already paid for, signed for, whatever on the bike and they removed a part for another customer, I wouldn't really understand how it couldn't be argued as theft.
You can't pick up a brand new, current model bike that has been selling for six months because a common part is back ordered?
Cancel the transaction. If their story is true you are getting a bike that will sit for weeks waiting on some other widget to come in, and if it is not true then you are giving your money to a business that isn't worthy.
Pit Row
Have you thought about calling honda directly and let them know what happened? Seems shady a dealership would rob peter to pay paul then charge peter for a whole bike.
You already missed one day at the track because of it you should be compentated for it.
There are so many bad dealers nowadays, one who will take parts off a bike to help a customer out means they actually care.
You have the right to be pissed, but you shouldn't try to get out of the deal too fast.
