[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 157255, member: 16153"] I believe that it pays to get to know "the punk" behind the counter at your dealer. If he gets used to seeing you with some regularity, he will most likely be able to offer you a discount at some point. I have two local shops that have made an account for me with 10 to 15% off of cost. Not much, but it accounts for any tax that may be added on later. Not only that, but by getting on a first name basis may very well open doors later on. I am now able to call on the phone and order parts without pre-paying or providing a visa number. That alone is worth something. You cant imagine how frustrating it is to have to supply a charge card number to a dealer over the phone to order a $5 main jet, etc. I really think that a relationship with your dealer is a give and take deal. You may have to work a little to get a little. With that said, there are actually a few dealers locally that I refuse to deal with due to bad experiences & price gouging ($16 for a keihin main jet!). Lastly, remember that if you want your local dealer to match price on something, allow him to match the price that it will cost for the same item to be mailed to your door (including shipping, etc).
