Default Too many miles?

Hi, I'm currently looking at a 2013 110th anniversary Dyna Wide Glide, BTW, it would be my first Harley, dealer wants $11,900, with 35,000 miles, is that too many miles for the price? Will the top end need to be rebuilt sooner rather than later??
Overall the bike does look to be in great shape, I'm just concerned about excess mileage.. ideas??

In 15-seconds on eBay, I found one $2k cheaper, with under 10k mileage. You can do far better. The 110th Anniversary thing means little, IMO.

Too many miles? Not at all. Too high a price? Very much so. There are a ton of garage queens out there. I'd avoid the dealership myself as you will usually pay about 10-15% higher than off of private sales. Find a bike, look up the vin and maintenance history and you're good to go.

I think it's also based on condition a maintenance records. I dont mine paying more if the condition reflexes price.. cheaper ain't always better.

I think dealers are still milking Harleys out for all they can

I know, right? It's as if they're doing this to drive up new bike sales because the private market isn't even close.

Good point, if you are looking and approved for a loan, and the new one is three grand more than the used one, you may start looking at the new one.

That's a stupid good deal and not the norm though. Can't really compare that.
