Dealerships do charge departments internally.
For example, if sales promises a customer mats for
a new car purchase, the parts dept charges the sales
dept for them.
Service does charge sales for labor.
Then service mangers get pissed when used car managers
farm work out ($$$$$$$$$$$)

they only love your money. i have a buddy who tried to trade in 4 immaculate sportsters. they offered his 3k. they told him the price was so low because each bike has to be inspected by the shop which charges the sales department 500 for each bike. Now what kind of BS is that, it's all one store. I've never bought a bike from the stealership

The fact that the dealer paid off my trade and discounted the Breakout on top of it made the deal too good to pass up.

MoCo's sales numbers have significantly declined lately. The dealer's have to get this year's models out of the showroom. Plus they have to meet the sales target to get their yearly bonus. New bikes OUT is what counts....used bikes IN don't

I've heard the M8 Softail is the big win for next year. The M8 Dyna will be hated due to frame unification changes. Also prices will go up about $2K. Touring will get pricey too...but Softails are expected to be the next hot seller after the M8 update. The twin cam Softail was hard for me to love, but the M8 might add it to my wish list...

Ha ha !!
Just got "ANOTHER" email from the local
dealer;
"Softail Special Sale-Take advantage before our
2017 Softails are gone"
Yeah-Ok!!!!!
Guess the ol' twin cam has come to the end of it's run.
18 yrs. Not bad. Largest displacement increase in an eng-
series (I think) 88"- 110"

If they didn't make a profit they wouldn't be in business.
