That is just plain retarded. Closer to the mark if the do the battery, carbs and ask $1000.00.

"$1,000 extra if they do the battery and carb clean"
How about this: $1,000 - extra if they do the battery and carb clean. or $1000 for the bike, extra charge if they replace the battery and do the carb. I'm sure they didn't mean $1000 for the battery and carb work. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

That looks a lot better. Makes a bunch more sense when you write it correctly and read it correctly.

Needs battery and carb clean. We will do it but the price will be $1999.00
Asking Price: Â*$999 Calculate Payments Looks pretty clear.

Re: $1,000 for a battery and carb clean?
Seems pretty clear to me that the price increases by $1,000 if they do the battery and carb clean, but maybe I am misreading it. Just leads me to believe there might be something more wrong with the bike than a battery and a carb clean. A bummer because these guys are one of the more respectable dealers in the Twin Cities area.

Re: $1,000 for a battery and carb clean?
Well, you made me go look. I was wrong - it appears that they DO want $1000 for a battery and an hour or two of labor. If Barnum was correct, those guys must own really nice houses and have really nice rides.
