[QUOTE="Chili, post: 1076206, member: 29892"] No you should not pay more for bad attitude and bad service. More than anything I'm trying to perhaps put a light on how some of these guys ended up with the poor attitude. Within 2 hours of my place ( and mostly within 30 minutes) I have the following dealerships available at my disposal. Kawasaki - 4 dealerships Suzuki - 4 dealerships Honda - 3 dealerships Yamaha - 4 dealerships KTM - 1 dealership Some of these are multi line dealerships so I don't have 16 dealerships in the vicinty. Out of all those dealerships I would happily deal with 2 of the Kawi dealers, 2 of the Suzuki dealers, 1 of the Honda dealers, the KTM dealer and 1 of the Yamaha dealers. I'm not willing to pay a huge premium to deal locally but I do understand for a dealer to have it in stock costs him $ versus an internet/mail order shop that doesn't stock anything and simply drop ships from the manufacturer once an order is received. Am I really that lucky to have that many shops local that are reasonable to deal and prices that are only marginally higher than the internet or is some of the expectations of your dealer unrealistic? I also shake my heads at the threads when someone enquires about the fit of a helmet or boots before ordering. Invariably someone tells them to go down to the local dealer and try them on before ordering from xyz.com for 15% less. It's a nice luxury to have until the local dealer is gone. I'm not some rich dude with more cash than brains, MX racing is putting a serious dent into my finances and I'm working a second job on the side to cover the expenses. [/QUOTE]
