Is it possible to negotiate a mountain bike at 2009 prices? I was watching a brand new mountain bike 2009 specialized sells MSRP. ($ 770) Has anyone had experience get a new bike for less than MSRP? These bike shops do not seem to want to move! I guess it is not like buying a car ..?? All pointers to get a lower price? Thank you ...
It will be difficult to find a motorcycle dealer who will go down on prices at the beginning of riding season, and no dealer who has his head on straight even give away things like bottle cages and other things these things are the only things they can actually make money.
Most stores will sell a bike for less than the MSRP ... You're limited on what you can do because the Trek bikes are sold through resellers Trek.
I recently went to a performance bike shop and they had a 2008 Fuji Newest 4.0, which was actually higher than the MSRP, and it is one year!
If you were on the market for a bike more expensive, say over $ 3K, a discount would be understandable. But a $ 800 bike is not enough profit in it to rationalize a discount.
