We are on vacation in FL. and looking at a 2011 triglide, dealer
said has about 3K add ons with asking price of 28K. I realize he
has to ask something. Bike also has 8,200 miles on clock and
somewhat of a special metal flake paint (changes colors in sun).
Just what would be a good price to pay with NO trade in?
I am thinking writing a check for 24K, and tell him to cash the
check and call me, or just destroy the check. No harm no foul.
What say you? tenn.vol.

 

KBB has it $28790

NADA has it low retail $22585, high retail $29720

Tell them to cash the check and call you? Why would you do that? They should be able to tell you within 5 minutes while you are standing there whether they will accept that offer. Sounds like a fair beginning offer, expect them to counter. Decide how much you are willing to pay, don't be a d*ck and you will probably get it bought. Just remember that they have something you want to buy and they want to sell but it takes two cooperative sides in a negotiation to strike a deal. I have people make ridiculous offers on used cars all the time (I'm not saying your offer is) and then get mad and act a fool when we counter or decline. Don't be that guy. Good luck, hope it works out for you.

 

I bought my 2012 March last year from a private party for 28K with about the same miles on it and easily 3k worth of add ons. Now a year later and the Tri your looking at is a year older. The 2014's have enough significant improvements that the value of the 13's and down have been hurt a bit. I would think 24-24.8K would take it home.

 

After a closer look they ALL need helper springs, and the 2014 Triglide
have several improvement over early model. Maybe 24K is too much!
Let me rethink this....tenn.
