Discount at dealer?

[jpdicarlo]

I'm prepping to buy a bunch of parts I'll need for my winter-project K12 bike. Anyone know of a dealer offering a parts discount to MOA members?

I THINK max BMW does but I am not positive.

Pensacola dealership does for charter club members 15%. Adventure Motorsports of Northwest Florida, charter club #364 BMW Motorcycle Riders of the Emerald Coast. PM me and I can steer you into membership/dealership information.

Have you asked your dealer if they will give you a discount on a large purchase?

My nearest dealer, with whom I had a good relationship, dropped the franchise.
Next nearest is really not close, and I have no relationship with them. Suppose it can't hurt to ask.

It helps when the dealer knows you well but like you said it doesn't hurt to ask.

Several of our MN dealers offer discounts to MN Club members... our club dues are only $35 a year, so depending on how many parts your ordering....

Yes. Free shipping is all they offer.

Good theory, and thank you for the heads-up.
That link leads to a story about Max's BMW offering 20% off thru October on their fiche orders. Had I know of this I would have used it. Not knowing, I instead called my nearest dealer, who IS Max's, and spoke to the parts department. They told me there are no deals being offered, aside from free shipping.

I tried using these guys for my full order (clutch job), but every new clutch disc they offer, oil resistant and standard, is out of stock. I don't know if this is Covid related, or they just aren't keeping up with demand, but seeing a good clutch at an attractive price, only to be told "we don't have it and don't know when we'll get it" is rather frustrating.
