Hi everybody
There is new used bike dealership opening in the Miami area - it is going to be a large one (i know because I manage it). We'll carry used motorcycles and ATV. I am new to the area and the business here might be different from what I know.

Please, review our website (link in my signature) and i would like to ask you a some questions on the topic.

I hope this is the right place for the topic as I could not find any other that matches better.

So what I would like to ask:
1. what info about a bike would you like a dealer to place on the website, I mean in the details page - what's important for you and what's not. I see many ads with phrase like 'low miles, best deal, priced to sell", etc. does this really matter?
2. will it be good to describe all the installed goodies in words or pictures will be enough?
3. what would be your requirements to a used unit - what is the acceptable wear for a sportbike for example? This question is not about the technical condition - they should be trouble-free by default. Mostly the looks: scratches, wheel dents, etc. - these plastic monster are the ones that fall often...

THE KEY QUESTION:
4. What would you prefer - to pay dealer fee and buy a serviced bike or not to pay any fees and service it yourself or pay small money for it to be serviced by our mechanics?

I see that all dealers in the area have dealer fees, and they sometimes amount to 400 bucks. I hate to pay more that an advertised price and we will have no dealer fee until the end of the year. But as a businessman I understand that margins do not allow me to have them all serviced for free, because there are also other things like changing tires, batteries, etc.

Please, give you feedback.
And also about the website: easy to use/difficult to find info - that kind of things

We'd prefer dealers that pay for advertising. Otherwise, it's spam. Link removed.
