Id offer $9,000 with that mileage.The new Dynas arent like the Harleys of old.I know as I have an 84 and an 06 Wide Glide.The Harleys of old held thier value due to thierreliability and the availability of parts.The new Harleys are a different breed and IMHO have a touch of disposibility to them.You hear of tales of primary bearings going south within 1500 miles and such.It seems that in an effort to compete with the Japanese manufacturers we have become thier clone.
If you look on ebay right now you will see 6 2003 WideGlides with less mileage for the same price.

RE: NEED HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I searched for a Wide Glide for about 6 months because I am such a cheapskate. I found a 2001 Wide Glide on Ebay for $8100.00 with 21K on it. But no extras. And it was within 100 miles of me so not much expense in getting it. If you look long enough you will find a deal.

Also, ebay scares the heck out of me on vehicles. Too many Katrinas, etc. out there.
I'm still saying that the bike is not a bargain, but if I loved everything about it I'd buy it.
It's at least $9k cheaper than a new one identically equippedand should depreciate less.
I'm appalledwhen people encourage cheaper interest rates on new ones.Think about what interest and depreciation can do to your finances over time. If I can't pay cash I don't buy anything. That's probably why I can pay cash. I liked writing a $12k check for my Deuce which was already loaded much better than I would have liked writing a $22k check for the same setup new and it shouldn't depreciate nearly as much as a new one.
My money's still in my pocket.
Just my $.02.

I got the same bike, except all black and without apes...with 3,000 miles on it for $12,995. So you may be able to negotiate a little.

RE: NEED HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing- check to see if any signs of ever being dropped/layed down. Look for possible scratches on the derby cover, clutch lever, clutch lever housing, edges of mirrors, edges of foot pegs/controls...ect.
Not a bad price for an anniv. Wide Glide with what I'd consider to be low miles for a bike 4+ yrs old. All depends on how much you want an anniv wide glide though? For what he's asking, you can buy a brand new wide glide for a couple thousdnd more (especially this particular time of year!). Yah, he's got alot of mods, but anyone will tell you who's sold a bike before that mods don't account for sh*t!
Looks like he did apes, chrome lower front forks, forward controls, custom timer cover, custom battery cover, sissy bar, straight shot pipes (maybe V&H?), relocated turn signals...ect. It'd be nice if you could get this bike for around $9-9,500? Look on ebay to get an idea of what they're selling for for this year/miles? All-in-all...looks pretty good to me?

RE: NEED HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baker,just what extras doYOU see on either bike.I see ape hangers and a lugage rack.Even if you hid the wireing on the hangers its a 1/2 days job.Luggage rack,well maybe an hour.When selling or buying a used Harley,(Or anything for that matter)extras are never the deciding factor,its the general condition and mileage of the bike that always counts.
Now for the rest of the post about the price being in range..They may be asking for that price on ebay but if you look closer JBaker you will see that the 03 wide glide with 8500 miles WAS OFFERED FOR $11250 but had no bids.I can ask for $30,000 for my 84 FXR but if it dont sell,whats it worth?
What I am saying is that you can find a better deal out there than seemed to be had on that 03 wide glide.
You seem somewhat defensive unless your the one selling it/......

and the 100th anniversary may not be worth much now but you can bet it will be done the line as more of them are wreaked or destroyed and they are less of them available.

RE: NEED HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I see you added the Super Glide Sport. I looked at one, My wife liked it, I hated it.
Harley = chrome and bling. Chrome and Bling is expensive.
That blacked out bike just doesn't say Harley to me.
I'm not commenting on pricing, but a Wide Glide beats a Sport any day.
IMHO.
