Buy a Motorcycle - Closing the Deal

Buy a Motorcycle

Part 3: Closing the Deal

Play hardball with the salesperson. The dealer wants to work with you. If they work with you, give them your other business such as apparel, repairs, and accessories. Try to emphasize that this is the start of a relationship, and they will try to work with you more.
As always, do your homework. You are up against a pro in negotiations when you buy a motorcycle and lack of preparation will cost you big. After the deal is nearly done, you can almost always get them to sweeten it a little. A motorcycle helmet, cover or jacket can almost always be thrown in because after the salesperson has spent a good amount of time, they don't want to lose the sale.
