Agreed! most of their bikes have a 4k markup for dealer setup fees and crap. Went there in the past and did not get a good feeling and the sales staff was extremely pushy.

I paid 26k OTD for a 2018 SGS one week before the 19's arrived. This was in California.I thought it was a fair deal. I should have demanded the 1st 1000mile service for free. My buddy got it included,

I have always asked for, and got, the first service free plus 20% off parts and free installation on the day of purchase.

I paid 2 k less then MSRP when I bought a 15 a model year later. Put 5k of engine work in, got the 1k and 5 k included. Only thing was the dealership was, 3 hours away and I drive past atleast 8 dealerships to get there. Shop around, just cuz you don't buy your bike at your local doesn't mean your not part of the "family".

If they don't start to discount most everything, times ahead are going to get even tougher. Time will tell. Look at blue book for an 18 with like 5k miles on it... That's where I'd start. It's going to lose all that value the minute you drive it off the show room floor. Don't care if it's new.

I paid sticker for my 17 a couple weeks after the Dyna line was cut. Was keeping an eye out on inventory all summer for a Low Rider S, but once the announcement came, the 5 or 6 that were available new or used were suddenly bought up. Was only able to get mine because the dealer just got in their last 2017 semi the day I called, and happened to have one on it. Bought it before it hit the showroom floor.
