Nice mark-up
Its just hillarious when you can expose the incredible mark up that the dealers impose on us.
For instance, my dealer is charging $609+tax for a set of V/H BSS pipes for my softail. I asked him to print out a quote sheet with that info.
He did.
Thequote sheet has thevendor'sitem number and their description listed along with the price the dealership would charge me. Searching the internet for a few minutes at home I found those same pipes, same vendor item number and exactly the same abbreviated description for $492 out the door.
I went back and talked to a part guy who confirmed they have used the same website that I found these at.[sm=bustedsign.gif]
Nice...obviously I'm not ordering the pipes through the dealership....

What a 25% mark up? That aint bad dude.
Many businesses with a store front have to do a 50% or 100% mark up to stay in business with a worthwhile profit.
The Internet has been killing many storefront business owners, which is great for us. Power to the consumer!

Sure...how this country was built is a matter of record and it was right for the times. I can't argue with that. What I'm more concerned with now though is what's bringing us down, maybe to our end! Stupidity comes to mind....
