£50 Discount off used Demo ????

[Josh]

Hi, just had a trial on a Volt Metro folder through a local dealer. I was impressed with build quality and ride for my needs. To order a new bike cost through Volt £1145. However volt has offered me the demo bike I tried at the dealers for a discount of £50 back through this dealer. Volt assured me it was not that old and had not been ridden very far, although they could not tell me exactly how old but would honour their 2year warranty on this machine.
My thoughts are it is still a used, second hand bike, demo model or otherwise and this discount does not appear to be very generous when I could have a band spanking new one for not much more. Volt stated they would not usually give any sort of discounts, even though it's that time of year for sales and new models etc.
What are you guys opinions? bearing in mind Volt could not know or honestly say how many persons or how far this particular machine has been ridden, how many times battery has been charged etc.
Cheers.

Doesn't sound very generous to me. Maybe he's running out of bikes to sell. Try another shop. Where are you?

Assuming nothing is mechanically or electrically wrong, I'd expect to be discounted around the cost of a replacement battery.

forget the £50 discount. You pay a lot for a run of the mill 36V 10AH Chinese folders.

Prorider have their e-voyager for £649

As a comparison my KTM was an ex-demo (milage 500 miles) - retail £2300 - I bought it for £1300...

Thanks for all your comments. Just as I thought no favours being done for me from this brand, will keep shopping around
Cheers.

Shame, a cr@p discount is worse than no discount at all as it leaves you feeling insulted.

I wonder if the OP is still feeling insulted three years later.

But he's not been back, so we will never know.
