So I'm looking to get a new bike and was hoping to get a steal on a 2014 since the 15's are out any day now. I was quoted $22K for a 2014 Street Glide which is 1K off MSRP. I was hoping the discounts would be a little more than that.

Does that sound about right or should I try other dealers?

With only 1K off, I might wait and buy a 2015.

 

I also asked my dealer about the model end discount and they said 1,000 less was the max discount on a new 14. Really sucks. Buy a 15.

 

I think you can pretty much count on a price increase for the same '15 model. Also, Eaglemark is offering very good interest rates on '14's right now.

 

Yeah, Eaglemark already approved me for a bike and I was offered 7%. Not horrible from them but I was hoping for a better rate.

 

That doesn't sound too good to me. I bought a new '14 RK last week. I was interested in three different bikes. Depending on the bike model, down payment and term they showed me rates from .99 to 4.99 percent.

 

Were those rates through Eaglemark or a CU?

 

Looking around and trying other dealers wouldn't be a bad idea, at least that way you have a better idea where you stand with your local dealer, just an idea.

 

Eaglemark. The .99% was on a Heritage that I kind of considered. I don't recall the particulars but the finance guy had a flier with Eaglemark promotions.

 

New Street Glide is water cooled for '15.

 

You can only expect deals rather than steals--especially on a Street Glide. No doubt you can find some deals at this time, but you need to be realistic about what those deals are. Expecting something like, "25% off all remaining 2014 models -- everything must go !" type of deal, that isn't going to happen. At least not at a Harley dealer and especially on their most popular bike--Street Glide. The bikes are just too popular and in demand for anyone to offer serious blowout type deals of that kind, even when trying to unload remaining inventory. From what I have seen and based on junk mail I get, most everyone this time of year offers incentives in the form of interest rate deals, no down payments, and/or offering $1,000 credits for accessories and stuff like that. If you still won't bite, they might then waive the setup and transport fees if you go in and haggle.
