Cover doesn't come with new sled?

Buying my first sled.

Dealer says cover and spare belt don't come with it. Had I known that I would have used that as part of the price negotiations!

Do all dealers make you pay extra for these sorts of things?

Thanks
John

From my experience that is pretty much standard.

So if they charged $9050 for the sled & tossed the cover in for "free", should he feel better?? Just like anything else in life, it costs only a little bit more to go 1st class!!

There are alot of missleading sales out there. Being a plumber I always hear, a toilet doesn't come with a seat! New cars don't come with floor mates? It's just another revenue for them, usually they will through stuff in if you ask! Try another Stealler? Tell him so in so will give me the sled for xxxx what can you do for me??
