did you tell them upon trade it in had an extra 100K on it? Maybe the info. never got to the correct sales mgr. who posted the ad at 100K less? Gee, for only 500 bucks trade in, one would think you could have sold it for say 600 to anyone of us Valk riders near or far away??
after looking at a few of their older 80s cycles they have needing clutch/brake fluid flushing, one would think they could easily do that prior to a sale? Maybe their mechanic left them?
Really does not surprise me though other Honda dealership near me drove 2 used Honda cycle's and both needed immediate attention when it came to brakes, etc. I told the sales guy both times and he said, oh well, cycles are on consignment and anything at all needing done to them the new owner will have to pay to have it done then. Gee, you think being able to STOP would be important when going out for test drives?
Another WI used cycle dealership I wanted to test drive a used Goldwing a few years ago was on their ad as ready to go. I called, and it was NOT ready for a test ride they said had to be run thru their safety inspection shop first they routinely get them thru an auction. At least that sales guy was upfront with me not wasting 2 hours driving time 1st to get there and not being able to test drive it. That same dealer in WI about 5 years ago looking for a good used 1st cycle for my kid test drove a kawasaki vulcan 500. It made some weird noises that I could replicate at LOW speeds in parking lot like something was rubbing. I passed on it but 'supposedly' they were going to run it into their shop to find out what the noise was. 1800 was a bit steep was thinking 1500 and doubt they would go that low anyways.
