Selling at a loss, tight margins, next to zero profit... they all vomit the same - and interestingly, the owners (not the staff) always appear to make a very, very healthy living - drive very, very nice cars, living in equally nice houses... then, when (they decide) it's time to go down the drain, retain that life style pleading not a penny to their name (usually true because it's all been moved to the wife!), avoid creditors, HMRC & everyone else. Obviously if the deal's not right it's time to walk... the point is, regardless of model, vehicle, make etc, these people will ALWAYS try & work the customer over. Also a cop with the Fraud Squad, I've seen far, far too many rodents to have any sympathy, or believe a word they say. Like Double Glazing/Kitchen firms... anyone who believes these characters deserves all they get & shouldn't be allowed to vote... or breed.
Oh, and by driving 75 miles East of here, a Suzuki dealer is selling a new DL at £803 cheaper than a West Coast dealer... hmmm... making next to nothing on new bikes eh? Well one's making a healthy profit & one's making a decent profit (strangley the greedy dealer won't even let prospective buyers sit on the bike - "you'll sit on it plenty when you buy it" is the reply they get... & he's beed in business since the 50's... it's a hard life!
