| Re: Crazy freddys rip off The previous thread about Crazy Freddies stores was about three pages long, its been closed but remains on here. Have a read through and ring him up and explain your problem, Freddy has shown himself to be a genuine bloke so i have no reason to doubt his high level of customer service.
There should be a phone number in one of these threads http://www.fireblades.org/forums/ven...s-rip-off.html RIPPED OFF BY CRAZY FREDDY Questions for Crazy Freddy
Again you cannot blame this whole thing on him, he runs a company and its a dog eat dog world out there - just reminds you to check everything before you sign on the dotted line eh?
Good luck

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off Wondering if maybe the sales guy also sold him like a service package...you know, like for such-and-such amount we'll cover all the services within the first year/so-many miles???
Also, wondering if maybe the number he is looking at that reads 15 grand is possibly the amount he will end up paying total over the life of the loan? Yeah, you walk in to a dealership to buy a bike. They say it's ten grand. You finance it. You walk out thinking "okay, 10 grand financed and another 200 in TTL fees, not bad, 10200 for a new bike." Nope. Add in the interest on that 10 grand over the life of the loan and depending on the rate it's gonna be a lot higher. |

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off I'm 2 new to know Freddy but he is a owner it's not his fault some one did not read the paper work no one should be bashing him for this there are plenty of Honda dealers out there just go somewhere else if you don't like the price I buy parts from Rockstarmoto.com in my town, I know for some stuff I pay more but it's the fact they get it fast like next day with no shipping charged to me, Same thing with dealers. |

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off lets not forget how much the price of that bike goes up when honda finances u at a whole 19% interest (speaking from experience); and tack on that extended warranty.15k adds up quick |

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off That sucks,
stay away from the honda cards I bought 2 quads on honda card and yes I was young when I did that but you can get all kinds of cool stuff because it's a revolving acct. pay it down and just go get a new leather jacket or some more parts.
Not good at all do not get the HONDA CARD creidt unions all ways have good deals for new and used bikes my 954 is only 5 % and that was used it's better if you buy new. |

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off Consider this, purchase price $9000, less than average credit, long term financing to get to a certain monthly payment and presto! Total purchase price including tax, title, and tags financed with no down payment for 84 months at 12% = $15,000 for a 600cc bike. It's possible! |

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off 10495-9000=1495
So, you paid 1495 in taxes, titling, licensing fees, etc. I don't know, it's been years since I bought a new bike. Does that sound outrageous to anyone or is that about average, especially for new york? |

Does that sound outrageous to anyone or is that about average, especially for new york? | Pretty possible, local Duc dealer is charging $695 set-up, $50ish doc fees, plus sales tax. That would come pretty close to 1495.
I was looking at buying a car recently. I made them add up everything line by line, their best price - trade in + sales tax + doc fees + freight, etc. Then when that total added up to $1500 more than I was willing to pay I made them deal from there. They quickly added $1000 to my trade in and took $500 of the price. It is the ONLY way to do it. You decide how much money you have to spend then subtract taxes, title, insurance, tags, etc. Then work from there.

| Re: Crazy freddys rip off Just read this for the first time tonight.
a $9000 bike plus our freight and asssembly charge would total $9890. Tax and DMV fees would add close to another $1000. That's almost $11,000 right there.
In this credit crunch market the banks are very high on the rates and barley approving anyone with less than perfect credit right now.
I would be more than happy to speak with this person and reveiw his deal with he him at any time.
I'm tired of the un substantiated B.S. I'm a fair person and will only deal in a reasonable manner.
