I just got back from visiting a dealer here in GA…had talked to the guy previously & he said he’d work with me, implying MSRP…he said to stop by tonight, so I did. We went thru the build (said they can’t place order until tomorrow, for whatever reason) and asked him what was next for ordering process…he said they had to figure out pricing. I said what’s to figure out, the price is staring you in the face on your monitor display. He advised he thought they were marking them up by $5K…told him that was NOT happening, that I could buy a TRX next door for $5K more. Only reason to buy the Raptor was to save costs.
He had his MGR come over & give a spill about the $5K, so I deflated his argument as well. He then tried to BS me & say “oh we are a small dealer, so we have to BUY our allocations from other dealers & that cost us $$$ that we have to make back”. I said…Oh, so you are the middleman & just passing costs along…then why would I buy from YOU, I’ll just go to the source instead! LOL
The look on his face, over the fact that I had completely deflated his reasoning for the $5K…was priceless!!! LMAO
I told him he will never sell one at that price, especially with MY2022 coming and that people can buy the TRX next door (for MY2022) at MSRP (or less). The MY2021’s will set on the lot collecting dust.
If he wants to make me a proper deal…to call me by Sat, or I go elsewhere & put their name on a Blacklist.
