this is likely better explained by simply applying Hanlon's Razor

have you tried sending the salesman a bag of dicks?

asking for a friend

There is really no such thing as any honest salesman. Their goal is to extract as much money from you as possible, and your goal is to acquire the product at the lowest cost. The relationship is inherently adversarial.

I had only purchase two new bikes from the dealer in the past. I dealt with the same sale person each time and the price OTD did not change at pick up. He also check to be sure my down payment was applied to the finally payment at pick up.

Im gonna pull up a yoo-hoo and some moonpies and watch this one.. And Im gonna plug the team at Williams HD who have always done me right!
When I got hit and totaled my bike, they came and got it at the scene, the bike was a total and they took it on trade before I settled, visited me in the hospital,came to my home for the next bike deal and then delivered it
Recently, picked me up in minutes when I got a flat
Always fair on deals and trades (and I bought 16 bikes from them) - they take care of all clients like this
Excellent service dept
Excellent parts team

I think you need to move to NJ, we're not that bad...

There was a salesman where I worked, and one of his favorite sayings was "I'll be honest with you"....... Like he wasn't when he said other things?

I’ve had some good sales experiences recently. Especially when I bought my ‘15 Jaguar at Hennessy Jag, Atlanta.

Must've got the OP in a 3-hole change with no lube.
Name names...it was Chuck, wasn't it?
