Dumb dealers!
 I am still laughing at the stupidity of folks working as so called salesman! Let me frame this out for you all. I E-mail 5 dealers asking for their best price on a wheeler. I tell them I am NOT traveling for qoutes, fuel price and my time are worth as much as anything to me. Besides some of these dealers are 100 miles away and if I am buying it is OK to travel but to just get a qoute it is stupid! I told them that in the email! I am NOT traveling for qoutes!
OK, 4 of the five have (right on their web sight) "contact us for a price qoute!" I contact all 4 of them and three get back to me with the SAME response! "Bring in your best documented qoute and we will meet or beat it!" HELLO!!!!!! Anyone on the other end of this e-mail system?? One dealer qouted me a high ball price $5500 for a 2005 polarus 400 sportsman. He also said, " Bring your trailer and we can deal a bit more"! I give him credit, at least he offered a figure although it is NOT his best price! (like I asked for). One dealer (even after 2 repeat e-mails) has NOT responded to me yet. (5 days now).
Am I this out of it? Am I expecting too much? HELLO!! I am e-mailing from atleast 45 miles away and I told them I will buy the wheeler if I walk in their store. Woulndt you at least TRY to give me a price? OR Is it because they all have a low ball price but dont want to give it up right away? Which I can understand,,, but understand this! I AM NOT coming into your store unless I like the price you tell me! HELL Why would I want to drive 100 miles only to have a dealer MEET a price I have on my back door steps? Isnt this sale's 101??? If a dealership can make a sale from a out of town person that is only buying and coming into your town for 1 reason, wouldnt you try to make a sale even if you only made a couple hundred bucks?(give or take, I have no idea what the mark up is or their incentives are)
Yes I am frustrated! Almost to the point of walking into my local dealer and telling him I want THIS> RIG, for 5K and seeing what he will do. Even if I pay more than if I travel for anouther one I think I will feel better to cram it to the others that had a chance to make a sale and did NOT listen to a customer.
Done venting'
Thanks for listening
Tom

Dumb dealers!
I just got anouther email from anouther dealer. Here is the difference
Wow Steven best time to be looking for a wheeler! We
have huge savings on our o5 inventory! We have the
400 for 4699 in the paper! Pick a color and pick it
up! Cedar Creek will sell them cheaper than any other
dealer so get in here and lets make a deal!
Thank you,
Michael
Cedar Creek Motor Sports
262-377-5700
That was his email. Now which dealer do you think I will visit? The one in my town that qouted me $5300? The one that said come in with a legit price and we will beat it? Or the one that put it on the line and actually told me the price?
Here is my question now. Do I copy this email and go to my local dealer and ask for them to match it? Or do I say piss on them and take a road trip (only 45 miles) and buy from a dealer that does not mark things up to stick it to the locals?
One last question. In his e-mail he says, "Cedar Creek will sell them cheaper than any other
dealer so get in here and lets make a deal" Do you think I can ask for a winch with it at that price or maybe a few more bucks off ????
Man I am glad I shopped online, Even at that price (if I paid him what he asks, I would be saving $601!!!! Thats alot of money! That also tells me what a mark up is on these rigs especially since the dealer in my town is very large and the only dealer in a town of almost 100K people!
I think I better get in ther and buy this wheeler?

Dumb dealers!
The LS185B enclosed cab etc. is coming! The CEO approved it just this week. This will be budgeted for though. I will not need it for a few years, it will come just in a cash payment and at the right time. I am ok with waiting since I have the tractor but when we move this is a requirement as far as I am concerned.
On the wheeler subject. Funny story Murph! Unreal huh?
I can understand the thinking that a qoute will be used to lower some one elses price. That I am sure happens more times than not. Here is my way of thinking though. If I am a dealer and know I can offer one of the lowest prices around, I will offer it to a guy that is out of town but not out so far that he is dogging me. What can it cost (in time) A salesman to type a 3 sentence email? If it happens to be a guy like me, he will make the sale if he is the lowest. After a day of thinking< Hmmm Screw my local guy!!! He is sooo far out on left field (with his $5300 price I feel he was hoping I jusy shut up and paid it! IMO He has TOOK many many folk not so savy as I. In by book, thats stealing from a local! He knows he can come down but still plays me for a fool. We are talking 700 difference! I could see a few hundred but this dealer is the largest AND only one in town (a town of almost 100K)
I go back on my word but very very seldom. I told the emails, the lowest price gets my buisness and so I will honor that.
Thanks for ALL THE INSIGHT!
Tom
