Bargaining Power - Page 2

NewMon · 25-04-2014, 07:03 PM

Albie, I noticed recently that there are loads of white 899 Panigales available at the moment - I thought I might try the same tactic and then get the thing resprayed - problem is, I guess that'll cost a hell of a lot.

BTW Cash is still king here. I'll take it in any denomination and any amount. Bring it on.

How about going for a finance deal getting all the stuff they will throw in because you are taking out finance, then pay it off the next weekend, the bargain you'll be able to demand will more than cover a weeks interest payment........

Nice idea - Just check out the early payoff clauses - some are quite nasty!

You should be able to use the 14 day cooling off period with finance. They will only charge you the interest accrued per day.

Just go white. It still gets noticed if not more in a line of red ones. Its much more about personal preference though I guess. With my monster at least colour change is simple.

Mine is red and it has white covers too and carbon too. Bonus and now that's all being stopped I reckon with new models.

When I went to buy the K12 I wanted to pay cash. They would only take £5k the rest I had to put on my debit card and pay the balance into my bank.

Well not a complete bust, I managed to get a screen which is a £250 accessory which to be honest is a lot of money for a piece of Perspex and some angle iron. The only annoying bit is that I was so surprised that the salesman agreed so rapidly that I didn't ask for the heated grips which were also on my list of accessories I would like. In any case picking the Bike up 6th of June the day after I return from Mugello, although after watching todays Moto GP it will be just a case of who's going to come 2nd !!!
Cant wait first journey Ace Cafe in London I think, or maybe West Wales.
