Local Triumph Dealers

LeeNetworX · 05-07-2010, 10:35 AM

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't we just starting to recover from a bad recession? You'd think the local dealers would be more interested in making a sale. The dealer closest to my house won't give me a straight answer on an OTD price on the Speed Triple on their floor. Another that I contacted won't budge on the MSRP. I've tried reaching out to two more in the area (both are a bit of a drive so I haven't visited them in person yet) and have gotten no response.

I've never experienced such a difficult time trying to find a dealer (auto, bike, whatever) that is willing to negotiate, or even show genuine interest in making a sale.

Those dealers will find themselves out of business before too long. It happened here.

I'm heading to the Gap in June.

Make a deal with curb and I'll drop the bike off for you on my way up.

Better than anything around here, bro. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me earlier. I'll let you know if anything develops.

Sean, when are you packing up and heading up this way?
