Harley Davidson Gripe

Yup, there are many memes and YouTube parodies about this very thing.

What works is to know what you want, what it is worth to you, go in , make the offer. If they take it, great. If not, move on. Nothing worse than a salesman trying to work his "magic" on you.

Always new salesman at dealerships. It is abusive. A lot are full commission, hoping to make that big hit.

The depreciation is almost 50% on most models after 3 years- the worst ever by far. Never seen anything like it.

Falcons Fury's got a sketchy rep BBB complaints and Yelp gripes about pushy sales and vague pricing. Straight up HD dealer playbook: mid teens BS to herd you to finance for the real upsell. Not all are that sleazy shop around, like Atlanta HD, but yeah, cash buyers get the runaround. Private sale's smarter anyway no fees, no games. .

I went to my local HD dealer, Falcons Fury in Conyers. They are some SHADY folks, to put it politely. I was asking the price on a couple of their used bikes, and wouldn't be given a straight answer. It was "mid teens" or "low 20's" instead of an actual price. Has anyone had another experience like this with HD? I assume they want to run my credit, and find out my financial situation before naming a price in case they can mark it up on me. I was planning to just pay cash, but I'm not just going to hand them my wallet. After the third bike I asked about, I was met with "we usually discuss pricing after we get in the finance office" I just turned around and left, didn't even say another word. The salesman literally followed me out the door trying to change his tune, but I was done. Are all HD dealerships this way? I feel better about buying from an individual with cash anyway, but I won't ever step back into that place again.

Did u have u hair in a man bun? Or wearing sandals with white socks?
Just kidding!
The world is sick! & hardly Davison sux!
I have one I will make you a deal on!

Bought several at Earl Smalls until they tanked then started dealing with Granite Mountain (now falcon fury) in Conyers. Bought 3 bikes there. Sales people (to me about 2012) stayed in the same place for a long time. I dealt with one sales guy at Earls for 4 bike purchases. Totally different group of people riding them and selling them these days....and Conyers...Falcon Fury...??? yeah.

The last few vehicles I bought were all negotiated online. I walked into the dealership with the price in writing. Never tell them you want to pay cash because the price goes up when they know they won't get the leasing/finance fees.

Ha. Good luck getting your Triumph serviced. Before the hate, I have had 5 Triumphs in the last 15 years. Dealer network abhorrent, never really found a competent technician. At least with a Harley, you can find a dealer within reason and tons of independents.
