Here is one for you guys. I priced some new equipment over the past week or so... had two dealers out to talk about want I wanted, and they reviewed something I wanted to trade.
Today I got the second of the two quotes back.
Dealer A I do a lot of business with. Know a lot of their staff pretty well. Most of our motorized equipment is their color. Got his quote back first.
Dealer B we have utilized to a lesser degree. They are further away, (10 miles more) and the major line they sell is not what we usually buy. They do offer very good service and parts support. In this case they are offering the exact same product.
Dealer B came in just about 30% less than A. I was pretty shocked. Some of it was selling price, some of it trade in value.
With that big a difference, should one even bother going back to dealer A to ask if they'd like to refigure a few things? I like them... and they keep us going. On the other hand, I don't need to be fleeced by them either. And this feels like that. The spread between the two is a lot- much more than it should be. I like to be loyal, but it doesn't seem to be paying off right now!
Any thoughts here????
