We have 6 dealers in my area. I am sure two of them will have a hard time. They have poor service depts, and un friendly staffs, and owners are never around. We have two that will struggle but should make it.
Our newest dealer opend in late 2004. I bet they make it. Owner is very active in the dealership, there most the time. He is also a rider, and an avid one at that. He moves more bikes than any one in the state now. He sells at or below MSRP. All the the staff is very friendly. Service dept is very good.
He also has a huge out door pavilon on site, with concerts, food and beer on week ends. Beer is 2 a can. Food is good an reasonable. Concerts are free unless it is a big name band. He keeps a small t-shirt, hat and such stand open on all friday and saturday night concerts until mid night. These events get big with 2000 or more the norm for a Saturday night concert.
