I wanted to order skid plates and front tow hooks for my Dak. I put in a price
request to Koller and printed out their replies. Thought I would check with
the dealer I bought the Dak from to see what the difference was in price. So
the parts bubba totaled it up and including our Washington state tax (8 1/2 %)
they were about $80 higher than Kollers price including shipping. The parts
mgr said they had "Absolutely no room to bargain", until I whipped out the
Koller quote.... whadda ya know...he went back to his trusty calculator and
came within $17 of Kollers price including sales tax. So in the interest of
"support your local businessman" I got the parts ordered here today. Should
have a project for the weekend. I will in the future give Koller some business
for spending their time and effort to send me quotes, but also plan on using
them to give me some leverage with the local guys.
