This most likely won't be popular, but it seems much ado about nothing.
Low price with lots of add ons?  OTD price?  Seems I'm capable of digesting a sales offer sheet.  Don't really care how it's broken down.  Never needed the "sales" person to do the math for me.
I'm not gonna get into how a dealer runs his business model and don't need to die on the hill of "they shouldn't do that".  They got the right bike-they got the right price-buy it.  But, I wouldn't anyway.  I'll buy the service after the deal EVERY time.  I'll buy the dealer that lives and rides the bike(s).  I'll buy then dealer that gives me a fuel pump off a showroom bike on a Friday afternoon so I can go away for a week.
YMMV.

You had the stones to talk to a G-G-GIRL on the phone?

You are braver than most.....

Several of the sales staff at Richmond Moto are girls. VERY cool and knowledgeable too. I've been down several times, is a great dealer but 2 hours.  Rumor has it that one of the larger multi brand shops in my area (Dulles) is picking up Guzzi this fall.  I have one 20 minutes from my house (La Moto) but they are a soup sandwich for sales, parts, repair.  I'm wondering being that the Multi Brand shop is only 20 minutes away if La Moto will close?

Given the fact that, in general, women are much, much more articulate than men,& more socially adept, it seems like a good business decision to have them as sales representatives whenever possible.

I'm about 2-3 hours from Richmond, I'll have to check them out sometime.

Amen!

"Much ado about nothing" is exactly why internet forums are popular.

Everyone is an expert, except the other guy......

It doesn't cost anything to voice an opinion, & if you don't expect anyone to agree with you, there is no downside!

Everyone love dopamine!

I bought a new Guzzi last week. The gal doing the paperwork, financing and up-sells was good looking. I didn't finance or take any of the extras but I bet she sells a lot of them. She didn't try to talk me into anything as I told her I did all my own work. She was very nice and knew what she was doing. I got the title in the mail yesterday, fastest ever.
