I bought my 05 blue/silver back in sept. 05 from a local dealer in chicago, actually biggest suzuki dealer in chicago (chicago cycle center) i ended up getting it out the door for 10,800. I heard people saying if i shopped aorund i could get it for 10,300 but i really wasnt getting that price from anyone.
Now my story was i was buying in cash. First thing they wanted from me was a copy of my license and a buncha other junk. I told the guy i wanted to get a price from him before i gave him all my info cause if he couldnt give me a price i liked we wouldnt be doing buisness and i dont want them sending me a buncha junk in the mail. In a nice way. Well he gives me #### about it so i say wtf and give him my stuff. Now i tell em i have anotehr dealer offering me a red/black 05 for that price, but id preffer blue (i really did) he claims BS and says lets go call teh dealer so i say ok, we sit down and starts saying no way i hear people quote rediculous prices all day yada yada, so i say ok heres the # call him, and he says i got the # here hold on as he russles through more papers. I tell him to ask for and i guess he realized i wasnt BSing him and goes look this is a big new place we have to pay for it we cant just give away bikes (the new place is quite rediculously large). I tell him i have cash on me and i want a blue bike see what he can do. He goes and talks to the manager blah blah blah and comes back and has like 11,998 out the door or something i tell him he is crazy and go to get up to leave. So now hes like hold on hold on, what do we have to give you to sell this bike. I told him get near 10,300 he says no way they can do it. So i get up to leave again and he lets me walk. Im sure i woulda got a call in a couple days, but i wanted my bike now. So i call teh shop literally 5 minutes away thats much smaller and a lil cocky with the customers usually. I tell em whats ghoin on and they quote me 10.900 OTD bike can be there by tomm morning (they would get it from the dealer i just walked out of). So i call back the first dealer and ask for the manager, i tell him look these guys can do this price and i know they rae getting it form you i have cash i want the bike today. He goes ok 10,800 OTD come pick it up. Went and got my bike and got 10% off on accesories, big whoopie i spent 11 grand and saved 40 bux on accesories. They ended up talking me into the free tire replacement thing for the life of the bike for 4-500 bux and somehow i thought it was a good idea. Later i find out form someone else i pay for it up front and they reimburse me later.... GHEY! But oh well i ended up in with the bike i wanted without too rediculous of a price. I paid extra to get my bike that day but im ok with that. So yeah thats my story...
Oh yeah almost forgot my buddy happened to be there the very same day and time looking at a used 02? GSXR1000 and asked for a discount cause he was my buddy and he said we came together to buy bikes from them and the guy siad no way i just kil;led him on the price of the busa. Im sure the salesman got 2 nice comission checks for those bikes!
