In February of 2015 I purchased my second Harley from the same dealer. The 1st was used but the second was new. My question is, although what I bought is nice, it's not for me and my wife. I wanted a Street Glide but kinda let them talk me into a Street Bob. How soon could I take it back to trade in for the Street Glide which is what I truly always wanted. I've never been late on any payments either.

 

To be honest, it never hurts to go talk to them and tell them you are not happy with what they sold you....and see what they will do for you. The biggest thing is...be nice....do not place blame...just be straight forward and honest...Worst thing that happens is nothing...

 

Probably the sooner the better financially.

 

This^. It wouldn't hurt to have a tear in your eye as you beg for mercy.

And this^. No matter how much of a bath you take today, the bike will be worth $37 less tomorrow.

Might as well be riding the bike you want, instead of looking at the one you don't like, covered in dust in the garage. Life's too short.

 

A big welcome to you from sunny Southern California. Glad to have you on board.

 

Thank you, I think I'll give it a shot.

 

Thank you!

 

Don't take this guy's advice. Worse ever. Go ahead and tell them this and they will take advantage of you and bend you over without lube. First of all they duped you in getting a street Bob knowing you wanted a street glide. If they convinced you in getting a street bob imagine when you tell them you want a street glide now. That salesman eyes will light up with dollar signs on his eyes. Either go to a different dealer or a different salesman. Saleman don't care, he already made a nice profit by selling you a used bike and steering you into a street bob. Go in prepared or else you will regret buying the bike you wanted

 

Today?
A big question is going to be how much will it cost you and are you willing/able to pay that cost.

If you made a healthy down payment your current bike is probable worth more than you owe. If this is the case you probably won't have a problem trading the bike and getting a new loan.


If you did a low/no down payment purchase you may well be in the hole owing more than the bike is now worth. You could have a problem making up the difference in the value of the bike vs. the balance on the loan.

 

Worst ever because I have been there? On both ends? YEPPERS...been there...done that...worked out well if you do it right. Some people dont have multiple dealers in the area...and I did not say go to the same sales guy....I would go directly to management but did not think it was necessary to spell it all out....

All in all...I highly doubt this is the worst ever advice....That is hilarious and quite the over exaggeration....wow...some people...
