thanks. knew it still had to be somewhere. looks like they've taken some steps to hide it, while still being able to say, 'we posted it as we were required'....

If it's advertised price +,+,+ = real sale price, bullshit.
If the stealer advertises the +,+,+ then it is no deception, just jerks selling used bikes, take it or leave it
Good luck

I went back to the dealer a couple of days later to have another go at them and someone was just signing the papers on the bike. Looks like they found their buyer. No worries though as I was able to pick up a 2019 Sport Glide with a few goodies thrown in for very little more than the used 2018 from another dealer. During our negotiations they admitted that H-D reimbursed them for the "prep and assembly". I agree the out the door price is what matters, but don't insult me with bullshit.

Where are you in TX? I went to one dealer in Houston that tried to give me the run around and I went to another for a rocking deal. Drove by the first dealer to congratulate them on missing out on a sale.
Just wondering if you went to the same dealer I did. I bought at Mancuso HD.

I'm in the DFW area. I bought mine at Texas H-D in Bedford.

Dealer 2 miles away from me charges prep and freight. Dealer 60 miles away doesn't. I buy from the dealer 60 miles away!

I bought my bike at Mancuso Crossroads and had to do the BS dance with them. Afterwards I found about "The Ranch HD" in College Station. It's 40 miles further but absolutely zero BS there. My next bike will be from there.

Good thing about the Houston Metro is there are about 12 dealerships inside a 90 mile radius.

And most of the dealerships in the Houston area are a bunch of bandits....crooked as hell.
