This bike is not NEW. The tires and battery are already 2 years old and that right away should warrant a lower price. The dealer should at least put in a NEW battery for the purchaser of this bike. You can tell the dealer all you will pay in extra fees is the sales tax, those other "costs" he wants to pass on to you are not acceptable.They like to charge around $100 for "documentation" and title fees and paperwork, etc, and "dealer prep" and shipping charges, and on and on. Just tell him to eat those as that's the cost of him doing business. Then ask him, does he want to get rid of, I mean sell, this bike or not? There are lots of other bikes and other dealers out there so put him on the defensive and lower his price considerably.
