Default 2005 FXDXI Super Glide Custom Deal?

Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank everyone for all the information you guys have provided so far.

I have been dragging a$$ for a while because I couldn't get the 2008 Night Train in black denim.

I am leaning towards a 2008 Sportster Roadster instead from my local dealer for half the price.

Nevertheless, after all the BS above.

Today at work a co-worker of mine offered me a deal that I probably can not refuse.

He has a 2005 FXDXI Super Glide Custom in vivid black with a two into one vance and hines exhaust as part of the stage 1 kit. He said he owes like eight grand on it and he wants me to throw him like four grand over that, for a total of 12,000+. He will sign it over to me.......guess what, it has a whopping970 Miles on it....yes...not a typo....under a thousand miles!!!!!

How do you guys feel about this deal? I see it Kelly Blue Books for about twelve.
But that is with mileage, wear and tear.

Thanks for all responses,

Be Safe,

-Danny

if you get an 06 or newer dyna you'll have a better engine with some better parts and there are a lot of streetbobs out there for 12 grand...if he sold it toyou for 9,500 i would jump on it.

I would offer him 10 grand. It's a buyers market right now. Especially on used bikes.

Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.....he's asking top dollar for a 3 year old bike regarless of mileage. Is there extended warranty going with the bike ? I would personally pony up another $1500. or so and get a new one. But hey, thats just my opinion.

??? 05 and 06 = same engine


12K is high - new one with warranty is just over 13.3K. somewhere between 10-11k would be more reasonable

ya butts live in the woods however the 05 was the last of what 4-5 years with that motor and trans?? i think they pretty much got all the bugs out cuz look at all the probs folks had with the first HD 6-speed trans and the bearing failures on the primarys.....if you could get him 1k or more lower i say its good deal nice bike low miles and with a proven drive train. but what do i know its all about money and youropinion.
