Title: Ducati Monster Color Therapy Bodywork ... Where can I find a good deal on a set?
Post by: dtsduc on February 12, 2010, 09:25:38 AM
Does anyone know where I can purchase a set of the Monster Color Therapy Bodywork for less than the MSRP of $699.99?

nowhere.
well maybe used.
I have heard there is zero margin from the factory and it is unlikely they would be discounted.

I called around and some dealers wanted $800+!!! Commoto from #1 post has the best deal and seemed most knowledgeable & friendly so I just ordered a set from them.

Hahaha... Yeah, it's a belated Valentine's present.  I'd be happy with the white bodywork currently on her bike but you know women...

No margin on an $800 piece of plastic with some paint?

Yeah, that's lame!  Why would Ducati even want to make them and create a separate website (with some kind of marketing campaign) if there is no margin on them?!   You bet there's margin...a FAT one no doubt.

Call your dealer and grind them on price.
maybe it will work

The dealer I trust told me their cost and retail and there isnt margin for a discount without taking a loss.

All 3 of my local dealers were firm on their prices.  Yes, prices. Some of them added $100 on top of the MSRP! I ended up getting it out of state WITH A DISCOUNT without even asking for it so in the end I got a much better deal going with a dealer I had NO prior dealing with. The bodywork was promptly shipped and is on its way to me via UPS. Personally, I wouldn't trust a (st)ealer when it tells you there's no margin even if I am related to its boss!

Was I the only one noticing Kopfjäger's "cheesy"? To me, that means he's making fun of himself, but what do I know?
I'm just having a positive vibe day ;D

I guess even the funniest interjections can become tedious when repeated often enough....
