Re: [emrat:12775] Seeking feedback on dealers

I bought a 2017 Ram in  2018 that came off a 2 year lease for $22,000 (had 15000 miles).  It was an SLT 4 door with the Hemi, trailer tow side rails, bed liner.  I bought it from Lake Forest Dodge in Lake Forest, MN (30 miles N or St Paul).  I traded in my Frontier and they gave me more than Larry Miller offered by 25%.  It was worth the trip which wasn't a big deal since my son lives there too.  It is a large suburban dealer with low overhead and a great sales team.  Highly recommend it.  Buying trucks in CO is a hard deal.  I needed a full size truck to pull my Toy Hauler, otherwise I'd still have the Frontier.

As for the bike, look at a Bonnie T-120 unless you need the off road.  If you need off-road, then the BMW GS is the ticket if you aren't in to the Tiger 900s.

Hey Everyone,

I am getting the urge to trade in my Trophy and get a new bike. I really want a Ducati Multistrada. Or a Supersport, or maybe something else. 

Why? Well I have had my Trophy for 7 years, and just want a change. I had an '06 Tiger and am just not feeling it for the current Tigers. 

I am seeking feedback on dealers including in the Springs and FoCo. I am looking for a non-weasle* like dealer. 

Let me know your opinions. Suggestions about bikes are also welcome. 

* - Weasle like dealer at Dodge place on 104th in Thorton. WIfe and I ask about new 4 door RAM pickup with standard engine. He shows us multiple used with Hemis (Hey I would love a Hemi, but don't need it, and don't want to pay for the gas). One was a fully loaded 2 year old for 55,495. Wife states clearly she is nto paying 55K for a used truck.

Ask about new Durango, he says they have none and points to two used one. Keeps saying to get the used RAM.  We find 4 new durangos on the lot. 

He asks about trade in, I mention my '18 VW Tiguan. He says never buy foreign they lose value and aren't that good.

Wife tells me, we won't deal with this guy. She just said what I was thinking. 

Larry Miller Jeep/Dodge/Ram on 104th, sales guy named Cisco is a weasel.

I want to avoid this type of sales person.
