Some thoughts?

Buying a secondhand bike from a dealer. The bike is in excellent condition overall. They sent me the jobcard now for the pre-delivery service. They want R4000 for oil, oil filter, brake fluid, air filter being washed and the usual checks. No brakes changed. Its a 2014 ZX10 with ~6000km on the clock

Is it just me who things that is just plain robbery?

Pre-delivery "service" is their problem, not yours. Should have been costed into the purchase/trade price when they acquired the bike. Scaly dealer - or at least it certainly seems to be so. Here's the problem though: say you won't pay & they must do it - how do you trust them to do the job? Say you will pay & they must do it: How do you trust they have done the job?

If it was me, I'd run a mile & never look back at a scummy dealer like this.

Let me give context.

The original a week ago quote had the 4k on it. The salesperson told me they would usually make sure and replace what is needed. Specifically told that tires, brakes would be part of the consideration when doing the service. They didnt say it was all included in that service.

So im thinking thats ok, dont mind paying 4k if those things are included.

Then today i see the jobcard of what they have serviced today. I told them, im not signing the contract unless they either ammend it to a more reasonable amount or store credit. Just such a souring experience for what is supposed to be a big event for me
 
Just ugh!! Lets see if they want the deal to fall flat or not

For a bike I wouldn't pay more than R1500 for PDI and on the road nonsense.

Just had it discounted from R4500 to R3500 for a car.

Previously has it scrapped on a new bike.

They are probably having you pay for the 6 month warranty.

Even the 20k service with a valve check shouldn't cost that much.

yeah its all pretty off putting
 
Out of curiosity, why would they need to service the bike before it gets sold. Surly it should be within it's service schedule and if it's not I wouldn't touch it. I hate how they load these fees on top of the price. They should include it all. Fire it up - the price you see is the price you pay.
