Good BMW Dealership in AZ

After many weeks of contemplation I think I have decided I'm going to get a f800GS. I live in Southern AZ. Any particular BMW dealership in my region that is preferred?

I really like Iron Horse in Tucson. They've always treated me good.

I bought mine from Tom at Victory BMW in Phoenix. I was planning a trip around the bike purchase and had a very tight schedule. Pick up bikes Wed, put 500 miles on them Wed and Thursday morn, first service on Thursday, and be in Amado AZ by Thursday night. I also had quite a few accessories sent down and had them put on before we arrived.

Also, Ordered new helmets from them, they ordered in a couple of sizes to make sure we got the right ones. We got discounts on everything. And I got a great deal on a left over 2010 (be purchased early 2011)

Great experience and friendly staff. I choose that dealer as they had good reviews on here.

I have not done any other business with them since, as I live in MT, so I cant comment on service.

Since you are in S. AZ seems like the obvious choice. Not saying you shouldn't shop around but certainly stop in at Iron Horse and see if you like what they offer.

I have never bought a new BMW. How much will they haggle on price?

I have a 2012 with 500 miles on it For Sale. First service has been done. The bike is the Trophy addition - Blue and White. Lots of add ons from Tourtech. Altrider Crash Bars. Brand new kobby tires. And it has the BMW Panniers.

I don't know and it depends on what the demand is for what you want. 2012 has supposedly been there best year ever (and I think they've been around for 20+ years) according to a recent email they sent out. They seem like decent people and I think it's worth your time to stop in there and see if they can set you up with want you want at competitive price.

The most common answer as to whether BMW dealers will haggle on bikes that I've seen and experienced is: No. You're better off working out a deal for accessories/services. Of course YMMV.

Iron Horse has been really good to me as well. They have a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and go the extra mile. I had some issues with my new F800GS that turned out to be problems from the factory. Not only did the service manager and sales manager call to make sure I was satisfied, the owner of Iron Horse stopped by my house to make sure I was happy with my purchase and his dealership!

Stopped into the dealership in Scottsdale last february. I think it was GoAZ? They're a Triumph dealer as well. Being from Canada, I had no intention of buying a bike from these guys. They wouldn't let me. But, the salesman I was talking to insisted I try out a new Bonnie! Not a lot of dealerships will do this even IF you DO intend to buy. Headed down there next Feb as well. I'm renting from them, and you just know I'kk blow a bunch of money there as well. Lets see, I need a Klim jacket and pants.....and a new helmet.....and.....
These guys were great, and I hope they read this site.

I've bought two bikes from the GoAz dealership. If you want to look at pretty much everything, they are the place to go. Aprilia, Ducati, Triumph, BMW, KTM, Ural, Honda, and Kawasaki.

My first "big" bike was a G650GS which I bought new. I haggled the price and got -500€+OEM handguards.
Second bike I bought my F800GS used. Was the same year as my G650GS and I still got -450€, 2 new tires, -200 on the boxes out of it. Of course that one took me 2weeks of haggling

I visited GOAZ in Scottsdale just the other day. Needed TKC-80's for my F658GS. They were helpful and very friendly.
