Default Help! Good Deal Or Bad Deal???

Hello Folks,

I am about 2 buy a 2004 Burgman 650 brand new ( I wanted black that's why). I just did the math on the deal & i want some feedback before I sign papers 2morrow. I live in mIchigan & the bike was hard 2 find (yes i tried), salesman found one in Ohio & he picked it up & is delivering 2 my door. Tell me what u guys think about my deal:

$7200 (my price) minus $6300 (what he paid maybe) minus $300 trip costs = $600 profit on bike

$ 800 warranty minus $200 accessories minus $100 helmet minus $300 warranty cost 2 him = $200 profit

So $800 profit on an $8000 sale = 10%.

I can definitely live with that especially since he was a nice, unpushy guy. Sometimes we are so quick 2 think we are getting screwed but if u do yor homework u can justify some things that will make u not have buyer's remorse.

U guys agree????
