That Chicago Cycle Center place everyone talks about has the cheapest price i have ever seen on freakin four wheelers. hes takin orders on the new Z400's and the price hes advertising is freakin little over 4,800 bucks. Thats damn cheap. Is that even possible to be that low ? I saw the ad in a Cycle Trader today at a truck stop. Figured i would let people know were to get good deals i guess. Later

MSRP for the Z400 is $5,699. I saw an add in the local cycle trader yesterday and they had a special sale price of $3,999 untill march 31. That was if you put down a deposit before march 31.

These ads have been brought up before and if you call, you will find out you have to buy a couple thousands dollars of overpriced accessories too. They also can tag on extra fees and crap. In the long run, chances are you won't save much at all. They are just trying to get you in the door.

Just dont see how.. Since suzuki sets the sale price. If this place is selling quads a grand less than everyone else, they are not making a dime. Therefore they wouldnt make any money on a sell of a quad, and if there not making money theyre not staying in business.

<< I bought from Chicago Cycle and they were a grand less than anywhere around here. >>



You bought a Z400 for $1000 less than everyone else or you bought something else? Dealers almost never deal on brand new models. They don't have too. Take an economics class sometime and maybe you'll learn something.

Like I said before, these cheapo prices have been brought up in this forum before and people have called and found out there is a lot more to the deal that what's advertised. Kind of like Alba. Yeah, the price of the Yamahas with mods may be retail but they don't mention in the ads the labor fees for installing the mods, shipping, documentation, etc.

Guido:
I personally went to Chicago Cycle and picked up my 400ex for a grand less than all of my local dealers. I'm sure they are the cheapest for Suzuki 400's as well. There were no extra fees over the advertised price. They tell you what your otd price is over the phone. It's not a scam. They're just cheap because they sell way more than an average dealer.

Being in sales for longer than I wanted.

Dealerships will make alot, that's ALOT, more money on the Repairs and Parts than they will on the initial sale.

If I owned a dealership, everybike there would leave alittle above cost. More for me to repair. Of course I would have to have a Killer Mechanic or group of them, to help rack in the cash.

The shops around here are at $60.00 and Hour Hell I'd go $50 and get all the local work I could.
