Straight sale or trade in?
If a straight sale that's a very tight profit margin, for their sake, let's hope it doesn't go wrong in even a minor way
He traded it for an XSR900 so hopefully they'd made a chunk on that...

That was trade in, but was for an ex-demo '19 XSR900 @ £6999 which again i'm struggling to get near even now.

Was the XSR one of their demo bikes, if yes, then that's where they made the money, I don't know if it's still the case but dealers used to get demo bikes from Yamaha for a lot less than the bikes they sell as new.

Yeah it was, so the margins may have been in it. I know from chatting to KTM dealer they get very little in the way of discount on it.
Either way I got a cheap purchase and a great trade in so I'm happy.
