New Western WA Lifan dealer

I stumbled across this on Craigslist today. 'Dave's deals on wheels' is going to become an American Lifan dealer.

About 3 miles further down the road is another dealer that sells china bikes at about 1/3 the price (not sure what brand) called "Lets Ride ATV". I'm being surrounded by china bikes!!! =0

In 2 weeks the guy has raised his prices and now is asking $2,200 for his American Lifan bikes.

Dave's "Deals on Wheels" ain't such a deal.

This is where negotiation comes into play, especially considering he deals in cars. $2200 wouldn't be as bad a price if it came assembled, prepped, tax, titled, etc ("out the door") plus warranty, but $1800 otd could be offered first...

Im getting a mental picture that Dave is this crooked nose top hat wearing arms waving through the air saying come take a look at these deals....then you get severley ripped off......unless those bikes are Japanese that were smuggled in as Chinese bikes.hes asking too much.depending again on what you get......I would go elsewhere.even in Canada I can get a China bike cheaper than that....and if I wanted a decent scooter......I could get one for that price?

Better then a mental picture, tonight I snapped a photo of his dealership. Dave's Deals on Wheels sells cheap used cars and now American Lifan motorcycles. He also has a taxi service too.... Doesn't it just give you that "warm and fuzzy" feeling about buying your AL from Dave?
