Bought my Burgman from an internet deal, with a reputable dealer. Free delivery, from 100 miles worked into the sale. New old stock, but of course with full manufacturer warranty.
Started with a special internet advertised price, then used phone and e-mails to complete the purchase.
Worked well for me, including 3 auto purchases over the last decade. You don't have to buy from a distance, but it is handy to have 3 or so in the mix....when negotiating best price from a local dealership. If they can sell it for that price, he can to.....when pressed a bit!
