Default Trade Question

I have a 2007 Street Glide, black (of course, LOL). It's in excellent condition, low miles, about $1500 in extras, but I'm gonna be 68 years old in June, and it's getting heavy for me. Needs a rear tire. Local "indy" has a 2009 Super Glide Custom in mint condition, totally stock, and it only has 2800 miles on it. He will trade me even up for my Street Glide, and give me a two year warranty on the Super Glide. No money involved, just a straight swap. What do you guys think?

If the bike talks to you, and If the tires are ~10 years old, get him to put new tires on it and make the trade.

I'm 65 and just traded my Street Glide in on a smaller bike.
I think the two bikes are close in value, that Super Glide is a nice looking bike, probably has good rubber.
I wouldn't have a problem trading straight up, but if it makes you feel better ask him to throw in the next oil service.

Good lock,
Mike

On another note I don't know how many folks are familiar with Leg Up Landing Gear. It is designed for people such as yourself that want to keep their bagger. Pretty sure it is about $3,500 but check it out and best of luck!!!

The more I think about it, the more I realize it's not a good deal. Anytime a dealer is willing to trade you even up, it means he's getting the better of you. I think I'm just gonna hang on to my Street Glide.

Value:

KBB-2007 Street Glide - $10,750


KBB-2009 Super Glide Custom - $7,375

Yeah, I would think you could do better selling your bike then buy the Super Glide with cash in hand after the deal.
Its always tough trying to compare trade value vs resale value. Sometimes its all about the pain in the *** factor too.
