I don't think I'd mention it, beyond a close circle of friends...if that. The dealer's liable to be angry...others are liable to get jealous. I've learned that every chance you have to do yourself a favor in this life, you ought to take it.

RideNow owns Arrowhead, Chandler, Tucson, Sierra Vista and Tombstone H-D dealerships.

Rest assured, the dealer didn't lose any money on the sale.

No. Chosa's had two locations. One in Mesa and one in Chandler.

With the way that Hacienda HD treats people you'd think that they were a Ride Now outfit too.

So what are you gonna get for your Harley at the rice dealer with that $275 gift card and 25% off accessories?

There's no way the dealer paid more than $7K for that bike. Sorry.

Sounds like a good deal to me, but don't brag to them as like was said they made some money. The 08 1200C I had I got from a Metric dealer that I used to get all my sport bikes from and they did give me a good deal, but also they are not asking a bad price at all for it-alto less than an HD dealer would have been asking.

I wouldn't be a dick about it, but I would be like, "Oh hey.... by the way, I did a bit of research on this bike... and you marked it wrong."

Maybe not though..
