My dealer just quoted me $1500 freight And $635 setup fee For a total of $2135 added to the price

 

[aggiedean07]

I was charged $695 and $695. This is just another way to mark up the sticker price. I've heard of some dealers charging $1800 and $1800.

 

[Tango]

Mine is $675 and $675.

I agree, that is another way they can make money. I will be giving my dealer plenty of money when I impulse buy all the damn accessories when it comes in. :hungry:

 

[Z4Sling]

Yeah - they gave me 3000 in freight and setup. I will be buying from someone else.

I told my dealer we were all posting their freight and delivery charge. He said he would make me a better deal

Unless you are adding a bunch of accessories there shouldn't be much the dealer has to do for setup. Hook up the battery, put the rear closeout on and attach mirors, and that is about it.

Unlike RZR and Rangers that ship with some assembly required like roll cage, tires, etc the slingshot is shipped pretty complete.

No dealer or freight charges, kens sports in Wisconsin

That's great and how it should be! I can understand some fees but a lot of them are just trying to take as much money from the customer as they can. I remember dealers that take care of me and return.

Kens philosophy banks on return customers not POS dollars

My dealer told me that there is virtually no set up for the dealer to do and the price was $23,995 plus a destination fee of $995. Plus tax and tags. Roughly $26,550 in total.

 

[MOTOMAC]

Yeah, they charge dealers $960 for freight on each one...

 

[sloride]

Their shipped dry, So they do have to put all the fluids in them

I heard Polaris dynos each and every one and that they drive in and out of the semi so they can't be dry.

 

[sloride]

Who knows what to believe at this point.

Delivery charge is real, no different than purchasing a car or truck. Dealers have to pay it, so it gets added into price of the vehicle. With a vehicle with this kind of demand, pretty hard to negotiate that out of the price at this point.

 

[dascrow]

Wow, that's not bad at all. I could live with those charges. I don't mind paying a little more as long as the dealer provides good support and service after the sale.

Mine is $675 and $675.

[BKL]

If a dealer is charging the same amount for delivery/prep as other dealers in the area and the charges seem reasonable to me, then OK. If a dealer is asking significantly more in what looks like a grab for my money, then either I go someplace else or just don't buy one at all.
