Good to hear, cuz if I don't buy #3 straight out, I'll trade #1 in for a #3. I'll just keep an eye out for a RK I'm interested in, ride the fxr up and try to make a deal.

 

Find an 09 or up... You can get one with a lot of upgrades for less than 10,000

 

I'd see if you can get the dealer to buy it from you, then take the money and go buy private party. I'm a cheap *** though. At a minimum, try to get a little better deal on the RK, and definitely go with a newer one like 23Seven said.

 

.....when they said they'd give you $7500, when it came down to signing the papers, they would've really have given you $5700 after they "belittled" your bike and said "Your tires are worn, your battery needs replaced, the seat is a little worn, oh wait, here's a scratch, here's another, your bike needs serviced, your bike also....."

...I tried in 2015 trading in a 2012 SuperGlide, gorgeous with 2300mi to a couple of local dealers and they offered anywhere from $7700 to $8600. Walked out of each. One dealer over an hour away had a 3 day only promotion giving 100% NADA "retail" values on a big twin trade-ins(as long as the bike was low mile/perfect/near perfect). Ended up getting $10,555 for it towards a new '15 RK. thought I came out OK on that one.

 

Man i sure came in late to this party but I love my 07 Road King Classic which I have sporterized some what, and my wife likes it just as well.
