Default Another Newbie, sorry!

Hi Outrage,

The Eiger is a 2005 and the Rancher is a 2004. I have had 1 dealer come back so far and say that they can't beat that but I am still waiting for more. So if that it too high what is a good price? I am not being charged for set up or freight and the prices are under MSRP, I guess I just don't knwo how far under MSRP they can go.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Heidi

Heidi,

What about getting a 2004 Eiger instead of 05? All I can tell you is if that's the best the dealer can do I guess that's it. Maybe talk to another Suzuki dealer or something a little further away. I'm sure it's not that bad of a deal so just go with it and call it a day. No need to waist anymore of your time.

I just got the dealer invoice info off of CycleBuy.com and now I know exactly what they are making and should be able to get a better deal. This is a great website if you are looking to buy.

out of all fairness heidi, Business dont stay in business long if you don't allow them at least 10% overhead and profit, although im more inclined to allow 15%. but its your dollar knock em down as low as you would want someone to do to you in that situation. its like sellin anything. ask high and settle for a lil less.

I figured 10% for them is fair, that way I save too. They also get a 5% Dealer holdback based on the MSRP and not the price they sell you the ATV for so they are making that even if you bought it at their cost. Also, the freight charge is included in their dealer cost and not an add on. The only add-on is assembly which runs from $20-$50. I got an offer for $9217.41 out the door for both and I think that's fair so I am going to take it.

Thanks, I think it's a good deal too.

I am looking forward to the addiction and can't wait for Christmas. This is going to be such a hard secret to keep!

Thanks for everything!

How you gonna manage to hide them from him till then? that seems like a trick. I been tryin to convince my friends wife to buy herself a quad for his christmas present. I said that would be the best gift you could give him. He want you to ride with us. and he even thought that would be a great present for him. her to ride with us. but NOOO she a party pooper.

I am going to keep them at a friends place and they are going to bring them over Christmas morning. He just brought it up again last night and I kept saying "maybe later, there's a lot of research that has to be done." I can't wait to see his face. He's really hard to surprise so this will definitely be a good one. I am going to buy them today!
