RE: what kind of discount will you expect from the dealer for this situation........please advice

What I don't understand is why you feel entitled to a discount in this case. The dealer is providing a service, picking up the phone, providing a purchase order, paying for the shipping and a possibility of being 'stuck' with the product. The dealer is there to provide service after the sale, pays the lease, electricity, and all other expenses associated with being a dealer and should enjoy his or her fair share of the alloted profit for the product because the dealer is ADDING value to the transaction. By virtue of discount he is devaluing the service. Would you also want to audition them too prior to the commitment?

I am not a dealer..but when a product is offered for a PRICE..all of this is considered and to devalue the relationship by discount is WHY dealers are becoming scarce. Why should the dealer have to compete with on-line prices? If you paid shipping charges in full, did not ask for an audition, would not bother the dealer for servicing or return--then make this clear and see what the dealer says about that.
