Yea Eagle, It happens all the time. Not many businesses want to walk that gross profit away if they can help it. They don't understand why other dealers are so willing to do so. It definitely costs a lot of money to keep a store profitable. I just bought a 2007 here. I sat down and showed the sales man what was out there price wise and we determined what it would cost me to get here plus taxes and I was able to get the same deal as most are referring to. It's a double edged sword. We buy these Japenese bikes down dirt cheap on front side,and pay for it in big depreciation on the resale side. It's hard to have both. I got my last bike from a broker in Ohio,but I think it will be nice to have a relationship with a local dealer. That's my .02 cents.
