I read the other thread and now have to ask...
Why did she buy the other bike for cash and not work the sportster trade in figure into the deal? Did the salesman say she would get a check for the sportster when she came in to get the new bike? I wouldn't have bought anything if they weren't gonna accept the trade. I'm confused.

There has to be a missing piece here, the selling dealer will get a "kick back" from the Motor Company if they take the bike back in on trade.

My whole idea was to maybe get someone at AMC to read one of these and see what this is getting them. I know they don't care, and I know that after she picks up her new windshield and warranty card we will never go back.

My bad!!! YES only 2 different threads with different info. but same subject. Sorry !

It's all mainly the same, the second one is my spouting after talking to Harley. There is really no reason to call Harley with a problem, they have no power to do anything. Their words not mine.

I basically asked this same question on the other thread.
Did she take delivery of the new bike without the trade?
If so, why would she do that?

Did she know about the trade program before this transaction?
If she did why would she go through with the deal?
If not and questioned the dealer afterwards, there really isn't anything the dealer could have done once the transaction was complete.

Extech, she bought the new bike anyway. The deal is done. Only recourse is unwinding the deal and that's the dealers call. End of story.

OK I'm going to take my bad attitude, and go and suck my thumb in the corner. I'm just making my blood preasure go up, and getting no place.

So that's all I have to say on this subject!
