Sorry to hear about that, I know the dealer your talking about and I've audited them (flooring audit) and they were one of the "good dealers", I know a guy who got a new America for $4,999 new/old stock from them.
But I understand the insult, reality is, put it on line for under $2,000 and you'll sell it (not a lot of great bikes for around $1,800 out there.
I got my 2014 Thunderbird Commander with 779 miles, with Triumph windscreen and only one year prior registration, for $5,648 plus taxes and etc. from Malcolm Smith's; near where you went.
Plus a $499 recondition fee, for what an oil change and inspection? Oh well, it was $7,000 out the door. After, the finance guy while trying hard to get me to buy a warranty, informed me that "they only made money on the $499 recon fee".
So, be patient and look around, winter is around the corner and those California dealers will be dealing in late Oct-March. Bought mine in April, they had it for two months and I used that against them; original asking price was $9,999.
