Now you tell me how much the markup is on new cars. My first payment would have been 412.37 a month and in 3 days they got it to 303.92 a month. that was acceptable to me and I drove it home that night. This past Friday night I went to my local Harley dealer and was thinking about a new bike. I have never owned a Harley before so me and my wife was looking around and the salesman we dealt with seem vary honest. I was looking at sportsters 1200 well. the prices were reasonable. Then he told me about a 2014 XL1200C that has been at the dealer for 6 months and they had no one look at it. He was guessing it was the color (Orange Candy) It had aluminum wheels, nice fat front and rear tires and forward controls already on it. he said the price tag was 11249.00 but the dealer wanted it gone during the hot Harley night sale. I ask how low would they bring it down to. he went and talked to his manager came out and said 9,999.00. I said lets do the paperwork. the sale that was going on was 0 down and 2.99% financing. Well we were about 14 points to low on our credit score for the 2.99 but we did get a 3.99 so that was not bad. And we did not have to put any money down but still wrote them a check for 2000.00 and got a nice low monthly payment. this is my first Harley and my first brand new bike. why cant car dealers be this honest and up front?
