Is the dealer giving you two choices or are you giving yourself two choices? You might want to check your state laws concerning a matter of this nature. Contact your states attorney's office, which can be done via the internet now days. Explain to them the situation, a letter will be generated and they will act as a mediator to get you satisfaction if you can't resolve it to your own satisfaction. The dealership will have 10 days to reply with a resolution. I can understand if you don't want to do this but this is one option.

The same happened to my bike. At first they wanted to trade it in with a $1200-$1500 difference from me. As I only had it a few months and put 250km on it, I wasn't taking that deal. I told them that unless they gave me a new one straight across, I would let my insurance company take care of it and they(insurance company) could go after the dealership.(they REALLY don't like this) That and threats of a lawyer changed they're minds, and I got a new quad straight across. That is the reason I will keep my business at this dealership. Other than the little disagreement at the beginning, they really wanted to keep my business, which is a fresh change.

Take the new quad, tell them you won't sue them if they give it to you as a straight swap.
tell them you're going to call the BBB & the news paper & TV stations.
The TV stations around here love this kind of stuff they like to play investigative reporter!!!
Lay it out like that & you'll get a new quad, they hate bad publicity!!

Then find a new dealer!!!

I would do this, Don't pick it up and show up with your lawyer. That always changes there minds.

I have a good friend of mine that had a hunting ATV in a shop for wiring problems. Four months later they said it was ready along with a $1200 bill. The ATV was not even worth the cost of the bill.

Since he was a friend of mine I called the dealer and told them a was a consultent for a large lawyer firm and trying to gather information for my client.

Boy I tell you what that $1200 bill went down to $250 in five minutes and they threw in a free oil change.

Anyway good luck!

This is what you do...you go to the local biker bar. You find the biggest motherfocker you can find and pay him...15 twinkies or something to dress up in a suit and tie. Go to the dealer and say "Hey this is my lawyer, you can deal with this guy or give me a new bike straight across" If the dealer further decides to screw you, turn the lawyer into hit man and have him to go work on the guy....pay him an extra 15 twinkies for his troubles. Im sure the biker guy would do it for free...they like that sorta schtuff

Take the new bike straight across. They screwed up and they know it.

Giving you new plastic is their way of trying to keep it out of the hands of their insurance company and lawyers.
