Please read MY UPDATE on this page 2!
 
So I'm waiting forever for my new CVO, decide to locate a Mercury bike. Find it at Thunder Tower West Harley-Davidson in Morrow GA. Call speak with Sales Manager give him $1K deposit to secure bike send personal data (DL, SSN) ect. After waiting all day text Salesman for update on email to finalize arrangements for delivery & final payment. Then Joe "SM" calls me end of day:"Sir I've been doing this for 15 years, we have had 3 other people interested in the bike today. There was even an argument between 2 clients in the store over the bike today." After a long more drawn out story Joe concludes: "Sir the owner has decided to keep the bike for himself!"

I ask WFT!?
We agreed on numbers, I paid the deposit(whether they processed it yet isn't material). This was done with management NOT sales person!
If you can't honor your agreement then don't take the deposit & make promises!
Now I wait again for December to get my CVO!

I understand your frustration but look at the positive, you'll be riding your new bike in December I'll be hoping there is no snow to ride mine!

Problem is I sold Tequila & have no scooter! Rally is a week away. LOL

No honor among (some) stealers.

Gotcha, yeah that sux. Do you have a friend with an extra bike, lol? Keep looking, maybe you'll get lucky. I have only seen one 15 CVO SG here on Long Island and it was 3 grand over list. The first round of them were already spoken for at the other dealers and are out the door. I left a deposit on a Hard Candy, probably wont see it until early next year which is okay with winter coming and I have a second bike to ride if I need to get out. Good luck, keep us posted.

At least you learned to mark this dealer off your list.  I'd let the owner know you'll take your business elsewhere.

I'm considering Blue/Lava now, a very nice woman at a competing dealer told me about the Mercury. Calling her in AM. I'm calling the owner for sure! Business Owner to Business Owner. I considered not posting but said oh hell no. I'm letting people know so they don't get treated like this.

Sorry to hear that your dealer queered out on the deal. This kind of thing always comes back at you in the Karma department so forget about him, he'll get his in the end. Plus, you are likely to get a better deal.

Good luck,

Cycle Trader...Dealers list CVO's on there all the time. Fly wherever you find one,ride it back...EASY.

I had the same thing happen to me with a south Alabama dealer on a Ford Raptor.  I guess until your driving or riding it you don't own it and the highest bidder can get it.  In my case I do not believe the owner kept the truck.

If I had that kind of time you are right. However, my schedule prevents me from traveling. Have some other dealers working now.

[Supershooter]

I hope you got your money/ down payment back at least.

Last thing they want is to delay that. Filing a complaint with the Division of Motor Vehicles for holding a deposit on a sale they cancelled wouldn't go well for them. Fortunately they're not stupid. Now I'm waiting on call from a different dealer.

Imho, if you have anything in writing regarding the acceptance of the deal, they are obligated to fulfill the order unless there are some rather major extenuating circumstances. However, with the bike already in hand, it's not like they can say there was a price increase in between signing the deal and delivery, or a delivery delay to muddy the situation. Just merely saying the dealer changed his mind and is keeping it, is NOT OK, and is breach of contract for which you have a right to recover your losses.

Granted, this might cost you more than you will get out of pressing the issue, but it's something you should definitely bring up with MOCO and the area attorney general. Might even want to make a BBB complaint.  I would however try to connect with the owner and let him know what you are contemplating and give him a chance to correct the situation first.

Imho, they got a better offer and are not keeping the bike. That makes this all that much more inappropriate.
