A dishonest salesman would also attempt to charge you $400 for freight, when the freight charge is actually already included in the MSRP, thus double charging you...which Motorcycles of Charlotte North Carolina attempted to do with me.
A dishonest salesman would also attempt to charge you a $229 bogus "documentation fee" as a way of lining his pockets with some more of your money...which Motorcycles of Charlotte North Carolina attempted to do with me, etc.
Then, instead of attempting to defend them, perhaps you should read one of the posts in this thread from a fellow who has dealt with them. He also relates that one of his friends has dealt with them too. He states that both of them had an unpleasent experience. He goes on to say that he will no longer do business with them, even though they are a local dealer and are only 20 minutes away from his house. Instead, he now drives to a dealer in South Carolina.
Also, I notice that you live in Charlotte, North Carolina. I find it rather curious that you logged in yesterday and, after not posting anything in 3 weeks, you submit one post...a rather lengthy defense of the selling tactics of Motorcycles of Charlotte North Carolina, a dealer whom, by your own admission, you have never purchased a motorcycle from.

There is nothing unique about that...all of us do. However, that does not justify padding a bill with bogus charges in an attempt to get more of a customer's money.
Let me tell you something Mr. Dardoonk, I have a few years under my belt, I've been "around the block" a few times, I've dealt with a lot of people and a lot of salesmen. During the course of those dealings, I have had some BS slung at me, so I know what it smells like...and I smelled a lot of BS while talking with the salesman at Motorcycles of Charlotte North Carolina.
I have related before that the rule of the marketplace is caveat emptor, "let the buyer beware." I have also stated that there's a sucker born every minute...and two to take him.
I have no intentions of dealing with a business that will attempt to defraud a customer with bogus add-on charges, overcharges, and cunningly deceptive double charges as a way of getting more of a customer's money. The vast majority of responders to this thread also seem to have the same mindset.
