warn winch problem

The Warn Winch the Yamaha Dealer wanted to sell me for $69 was half the size as a Warn 2500lb, Im fully aware what a Warn 2500 looks like cause a friend owns one and I helped him install it. This $69 Warn was gray in color it had a Yamaha decal in the lower front and Warn decal on the direct top, the way it would mount is the the right, it had a flat face metal roller head, not a 4 roller head thats std. Note: When I went to a Yamaha Dealer I wanted a Big Bear but I was trying to force him to match the price of the Suzuki Eiger that was much less expensive, so he may have bait and switched the $69 winch by offering me a generic knock-off to save himself by matching the price on the Eiger, I was ready to pay $400 more for the Big Bear cause I belived it was better than the Eiger, and was ready to sign the paperwork and take it home, but looking over the paperwork I noticed an additional charge of $300 that was never agreed too in the past deal and he told me thats the install charge for the winch, I kindly told him to knock off that $300 and I will install the winch myself, then he blew up and thru a fit and started yelling at me telling me I can't install the winch myself, and i took that as an insult as he thinks im too stupid to install it, then we started calling each other names and I walked out. Honest Truth!

Dude, what are you smoking ?? I can assure you the Warn 2500 that sells for $350.00 and the $69.00 Warn winch I got with my Yamaha are identical. I know this because I own both and the only difference is the one for $69.00 has a Yamaha sticker instead of a Warn and a blue Yamaha strap instead of the red Warn one. They came in the same exact box with the same exact instructions and are exactly the same winch. Either your dealer was ripping you off or you are full of b.s because they are the SAME winch.
