Wire transfer complete. Working on shipping, but so far neither of my preferred shippers can get to it till the first or second week of February. Dealer is ok storing the bike until then, and given that it's snowing again, I shouldn't care either.
Tried to look up NADA pricing but they only show new for the 2019 models. Here's the pricing for a used 2018.
KBB is showing $13,605 average retail on a 2018 and $10,050 trade-in.
Looking like I got a great deal. BTW, verified by VIN that this is indeed a '19. (not bragging, just feeling very lucky and glad I had the cash in pocket to do it.)
Bike is with an Indian dealer in Florida. Note that this is the 3rd bike I've bought online, sight unseen. Have to move quick if you want a good deal, but you also take the risk.
Evidently the owner got raped by the local Harley dealer and the guy was so pissed off he went over to the Indian dealer and traded it in on a new tourer. Sales manager gave me the whole story, but mostly they just wanted to move the trade in. Have had lots of convos with the manager and everything has checked out with both the bike and the dealer. Bit of trouble getting it shipped quickly, but payments are made and should have the paperwork by Friday.
Congrats on the bike, you are going to love it!
I gotta say though, if the previous owner got raped by HD, what do you call an Indian dealer giving him $10-11K or so on a basically-new Low Rider
