Hi again folks,
I have a question concerning the "Frieght and Set Up" fees the dealer charges. Does anyone know if that is just added profit to the dealer or are those realistic costs the dealer has to pay? I mean the freight cost should be included in the dealers cost for the bike right? and Set Up? is there something special they do that would incur an additional cost? are there items the dealer has to add to the bike? or just pay the mechanic to check bolts and look it over (which they are there to do anyway and shouldn't be an extra charge for) I used to deliver Honda's and they are already assembled when they get there, just take them out of the crate.
Im told that all Harleys are test rode for 100 miles off the assembly line so there again, whats to set up?
Just asking, I believe the dealer should make a profit, just wondering what the justification is above 6k mark up especially on things that should be already included.
Thanks for setting me straight on this.
