A local dealer had a brand new never titled 2013 Tri-glide on the floor. One of my riding buddies has been looking, and I'm going with him tomorrow. It is red (sunglo??) and it's priced at 29995 + tax and tags. The price seems good compared to the 14's and 15's, and others that he has look at used, but I am not sure what they sold for new in 13.

Wondering if there are mayn still out there, and what prices you guys are getting them for. None of the dealers in my area will haggle, not sure if they all have some agreement not to sell below list or what.

Does this pricing sound fair? Or are they high. I do know that it was never titled, so the 2 year warranty won't start until it is titled.

Thanks for your input.

 

If the price includes warranty, docking fee, setup, and no mile or very low, it is a great price. In 2013 it would have been 32K at end of year sale. If it were a demo unit look it over carefully and not sure it would have warranty left. If demo unit with miles the price seems hi but I only say that because the do get beat due to inexperienced riders shifting mistakes, ext.

 

This is just my little theory. Hope it helps:

Harley Davidson's generally seem to depreciate like any other brand for about 5 years then stop "virtually". So, if you're going to keep the 2013 for 5 years or more then less is less and saving say 6-7 grand or more over a 2015 for a new machine would work for me. My thinking is that since a low mileage 2013 would likely be worth nearly as much as a 2015 by 2020, I'd be in great shape owning the low(er) mileage 2013 having paid substantially less for it.

If you're likely to want to sell or trade the 2013 before 2020, your "immediate" depreciation cost is likely exceeding your saving and is your primary concern.

 

Thanks guys!

This was not a demo unit, as it has 6 miles on the clock, that is probably from the test run they do at the factory after it's built. I found this for him when I stopped in to the dealer to buy some parts for my ride.

The owner of the dealership told me since it was still brand new it will have the full 2 year unlimited mile warranty, and also comes with 1 year HOG membership.

 

I find it amazing that anyone has a '13 holdover! I think it's a good deal for a brandy new TG!

 

Buying a car thats missing one wheel should be a little less than that.

 

There's one in every crowd ...lol

 

Well,

The deal wasn't as sweet as it appeared. They added $1200 to the price for dealer set up, prep and freight, and really low balled him on his trade. They offered less then NADA trade value, and his bike is low mileage and in pristine condition. Needless to say, he walked away from it.

 

Maybe that's why they have 2 year old unsold bikes.

 

Dealer set up indeed !
