The lowrider appeals more to my eye than a superglide, though it (superglide) is what brought me into the shop in the first place. Also, I've spoken to a few dealers and it seems (to me) that OTD pricing around here for the 2010 superglide is going to be about 13,500 without to much budging from the dealer at least initially. To me this lowrider is about as good as new, with the low mileage and condition. I guess I don't want to wait until dealers start taking reasonable offers for the 2010 models....that is ofcourse, unless I can't get a deal worked on the lowrider....then I will wait longer

Update:
2:30 pm, walk in dealer, start talking to sales rep.
3:30 pm, dealer takes in second trip to sales manager after I give him the 12,250 OTD final offer.
3:45 pm, I tell them I need to go take care of a few things, and they tell me that it looks like we can have a deal....I tell them I'll be back at 6:30
6:40 pm, Finance manager, who has no chance in ever earning my respect gives me the OTD price of 16,300
6:41 pm, Tell said finance manager that I can get a new model for less than that, and as politely as I could asked if in his opinion I looked totally retarded (not so nice words).
6:42 pm, Walk out of said dealer
6:50 pm, Sales guy calls me and explains it was a misunderstanding and that they can do 12,500 plus tax
6:55 pm, Hang up telling sales manager that I'm disappointed in their business practice and that I'm disappointed as I must truly look as stupid as the Finance manager apparently thought me to be.
During last conversation, the sales manager tells me that the bike is costing him 11,800 (paid at trade in plus fixer uppers).....I say bull.......and sigh, as I really wanted the bike.....
Oh well, life goes on.

AFter you check the KBB and the web site, make him your lowest offer and negotiate up, in the long run that bike is only worth what a buyer will pay.

Went to the dealer looking for a vivid black super glide, but all have been sold out and the only thing available is a silver one. Talking to the sales person, turns out they have a 2007 low rider that was traded in. Owner traded it in to upgrade to an ultra classic since he now makes a much longer work commute. Bike has rush slip ons, forward controls with upgraded pegs all around, sissy bar, and alarm. Paint is a red sunglo with dark grey pearl....very nice to my eyes. 7200 miles ont he bike.
Needless to say i'm drooling over the bike, but have no research on used pricing and what would be fair. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, bike was bought at the dealer, and all scheduled maintenance services have been performed and are on record.
Thanks!!
