Yea, but what's dealer price on a Cypres these day's, from the mumblings I've heard around the DZ it's in the high 600's, so at $850 that's 20 to 25% mark up......
Just pisses me off cuz I'm in the market for a new Cypres right now but I find that a bit excessive.......

I sure hope I ain't talking shit, but enought is enough....
New dealers want to charge that much markup and anyone that's selling a used one thinks everyone's a moron and wants to sell an old Cypress that needs some sort of checkup so the only fool is the person that would pay the asking price.
I have a friend that bought a new Cypres a couple month's ago for $800 (unfortunately I'd have him get me one but he's over in Ash-can-istan).
I'd pay $800 for a new Cypres (any takers?)

Why shouldn't a dealer be allowed to make a profit? Is profit a dirty word?
$850 is a deal compared to the $1200 they used to sell at....


Profit isn't a dirty word.... But upwards of 25%?
I'd be willing to pay $800 for one, that's still at least 100$ profit for the dealer.....

You are allowed to make whatever percent profit the market will let you. If you are marking it up too much, then you will be sent that message when noone buys from you. 25% is not much of a markup anyway.
When you order a soda in a restaurant for (usually) around 2 bucks, that drink costs the restaurant about 4 cents...
Even if you are really thirsty and have 4 refills, that's still like a 1000% percent markup.
In some markets for certain products, a 5% markup is considered a big profit. It all just depends on what that particular market for that product is willing to pay.
I live on the wrong coast.

I can vouch for that, I price computer products for an e-commerce company to pay for my jumps, the markup & lack there-of is amazing...
I bitch about this because it's such a large purchase and it's all the $$$ I have in my bank account.......
While gladly paying the 1000% markup for the soda, go figure...

the cheapest i have seen a new cypres for is 820.00 from a dealer on ebay
he has them on there all the time
i on the other got a good deal on a used one from skybytch
my reasoning was this: if the costs continue to go down why not buy one 4 years old with the checks done for around 500 then in 7-8 years buy a new one at a lower cost
just my .02
