Crazy how many people dont look at the bill of sale before they sign they Look at the payment and dont even realize there gettin facked on skme bullch!t fees as it only makes 10-15 a month more then mb they had tbought
I think people look, but youre sitting there excited about getting a new sled and they throw a bunch of fees at you.
So if the manufacturer charges $500/crate for the unit to the dealer how does he recoup that? Should he include it the price (add to MSRP) or add it to the quoted discounted price or just eat it?
People need to just ask for a quote on the OTD price and then decide where they buy. When we had our dealership I always quoted price plus gst. I didn't want the customer pizzed at me when I started adding fees when he picked it up. Treat people how you want to be treated. And dealers that charge $199 doc fee for a cash sale I would tell them to fack off. It does not cost $199 to generate a bill of sale.
Cost of doing business imo. I agree with you above, they should just be posting out the door pricing. Whatever you are selling it for for should include all costs.
Cost of doing business?? So I discount the sled say $800 and then eat the $500 freight? You obviously are a wage earner and have never run a business. Lol
Be nice if theyd just advertise the otd price instead of 3500$ cheaper!
Save alot of time for both parties i think if they did if i seen that price i wouldnt even waste tbere time calling and asking questions
Freight is a standard fee across Canada. The dealer across the street from the Valcourt plant pays the same freight as Riderz does in Edson. Its not $1000/crate for freight for a snowmobile. It may be for a side by side. I know they are more. As far as PDI fees every dealer charges what they want. I know the last dealer I worked for they charged $700/freight and pdi. Where as we heard Martins charged $1200 for the same fees. As far as PDI goes there is more cost than just building the sled. It cost money to pick that model out of a pile of 100 units where as you may have to move 20 crates to get to it. Bring it down to the tech, he has to uncrate it and then haul all the crate material to the dumpster. He builds the sled, adds accs which are usually charges separately then gas and oil added, unit is cleaned and delivered to the delivery area. Then when the customer comes he throws his old key at you and says he wants it programmed as a spare and could you put that fuel caddy on as well while you are at it? Lol. Its usually a chit show at delivery! Haha. Dealers rarely make a decent profit on predelivery.
They want to catch your eye Dan. Then add add add so it looks like its your fault not theirs. If they quoted OTD no one would take a second look at all. Customer needs to do this himself.
Whats the BRP fee?
I know why they do it, i just think its shady! Lol
You'd be surprised how many people gloss over the details and focus on the price
