Ten years ago when I got serious about buying a Honda foreman, a couple guys in my hometown of Eufaula ,Al told me to check with the Honda place in Chattanooga. I thought to myself that I wasn't interested in the six hour or so ride to Tennessee. I did call them to get a price though. Then I made the fifty minute trip to the dealer in Dothan an hour away with the idea that I would pay a little more to keep the money somewhat local or at least in the state and help my chances of getting better /faster service if needed. The salesman told me a really high price , a couple thousand more than Chattanooga. I explained that I had gotten a much cheaper quote and wanted to see how close he could come to matching it. He asked me where the quote was from . When told him . He said, "oh God, I can't touch that". He didn't even want to here the price. I called Chattanooga mid week and made a deal including what to add on it . Told him I would be there Saturday morning when they opened. A couple of my sons andi left Eufaula about 2:00 AM and were the first customers in the door when they opened . About an hour and a half later we were on the way back to Alabama. It cost me some sleep and gas and a Saturday but was well worth it.
