2003 Ultra w/Sidecar
#12
Hey there. Jumping in a little late here (sorry) but I recently bought a used 1998 anniversary edition w/ only 2185 miles on it (still new) and paid 20,500$ for it last September 2008. A little high but given the low milage I am happy with the over all purchase. New, the rigs go for about 30-32,000$. The rig you mentioned is now 6 years old. 27,995 is a bit over. Depending what the milage is I would look up the Kelly blue book retail on the combo and maybe split the difference between what they are asking and what Kelly BB reccomends.
What I found:
Retail on Utra: 13970
Retail on SC: 5480
Total cost: 19450-20,000 (320 more if EFI)
so maybe offer 23,000$? (you can always go up, never down)
My experience riding a S/C rig is it recquires work and for awhile anyways dilligence and paying attention. Read as much as you can because that helps a lot. It'll tell you what to expect, how to avoid problems and the quirks of it. In the beginning, when I first bought it, sight unseen except reading as much as I could I thought I would die. Jumped right on I-95 and off to the races. The sidecar shakes the bike in ways I was not a customed to. 5000 miles later and this last December I rode it to Ocracoke Island and felt like a rock star. With the exception of that one suprise flying sidecar incident I tooled right a long. Take it slow, research and learn about it. Maybe even find and participate in someones sidecar riding class some where. I personally am feeeling much better about it.
I have no idea about trikes.

Dealer won't budge on the ultra w/sidecaer....let it sit there and take up space.
I decided to wait for the trike to come in....traded the Sportster in last week while the trade-in price was acceptable (rather than wait until later when it would definitely be lower).
I'm happy with my decision. Can't wait for riding season to begin

wife was in there today and mentioned that we could probably get an '09 with sidecar for somewhere around $29K, and that their $27k for a 6 year old bike was out of line. they offered to sell at $24K, but i think we'll stick with the UC and Bushtec.
