I emailed Ralley and Jason, one of the specialists was quick to respond and initially really helpful. I was looking at a brand new Ducati Monster and I sent someone in to look at it. My friend informed me that it was used, not new, although it was only lightly used. I was also told to get the advertised price I would have to fiance the bike as the dealership got as kickback from the bank for the giving them the loan. err... ok. So we went ahead with everything until it came time to sign the deal and noticed they were charging me quite a few dubious fees. I called two dealers near my work and both had no document fee which was either $299 or $400 plus taxes depending on the phone call with Jason, neither charged $400 for local registration fees of $450 plus taxes, although to be fair Jason did reduce that to $109 because I was out of province. Neither had a delivery fee of $899 plus tax either. So all these made up fees are just likely so much bullshit and a way to pad their profit. I know that it allows Ralley to advertise a killer price which attracts attention and gets people in the doors and then these fees push the price up and up. The long and short of course is the out the door price. So while I hated the feeling of getting nickel and dimed with made up fees, I was OK because in my mind the bike was still a decent deal. Then of course, Jason said oh and by the way.... there is little to no warranty left on this bike because its, used. So I was OK with that because they would remove the $899 delivery/PDI fee and with Jesse the fiance person, I would use that to buy an 3rd party expended warranty. Things get interesting now because I think that this $899 was a lot to give up for the dealer, even though they agreed to it, all of a sudden they found a new in crate unit that I could have for the same price if I paid the $899 delivery fee. Well, that worked for me as 3rd party warranties can be difficult or impossible to use so I agreed. Then I waited and waited for the paperwork so I could sign it and send it back. I emailed several times and called twice. I emailed the sales manager etc. Finally I got a hold of Jason and he informed me that the new in crate unit was gone, sold the day before we made the deal on it, I mentioned this and Oh, sorry, it was in the 20 minutes after we spoke. ;-) So it was back to the original deal, but when I got the quote this time the $899 had been added back on the used bike and Jason just said, sorry, I can't remove it again. I just don't understand the workings of this dealer. I don't understand the act of advertising an artificially low price and then adding a bunch of arbitrary fees that change from conversation to conversation, it just confuses the customer and maybe that's the idea. You'd think that after investing all those phone calls and time, they'd stick with the deals they made and not try to still nickel and dime their customers even after the deal was made. Anyway, I guess this is just a warning to guys who want to spend their hard earned money here. Go in with your eyes fully open and watch for the arbitrary and fluid fees and don't trust their word at all, get it in writing. Hmm...they never once responded to an email I sent them, they would always call so there was never a paper trail. I don't think they are crooks but I just wouldn't trust them to do anything they say they will do. Verify everything they tell you. Feeling the bait and switch here like no place I have been in a very long time. read more
