ESP Pricing
I'm in the Indianapolis area in Indiana. Since it seems to be a buyer's market now instead of years ago paying msrp and added fees. I have gone to a few shops pricing a 19 limited, if found the price of the harley ESP to vary as much as almost $500. Who has the best deal in the area based on recent purchases?
I've found a good deal on the bike but his esp is higher.

What is ESP pricing? Employee pricing? Either way when I buy somthing like a bike or car, I just cut the bullshit and ask what is out the door price, I mean rolling out the door. I usially have a realistic number in my head. They can either do it or not.

extended service plan does not cover all maintenance. there are 2 different plans being talked about here. the esp is also known as the 'extended warranty'. the maintenance plans are different, and usually only good at the dealership that you purchased it at.

I gotcha. Yea, I have the extended warranty, I really got it more for the tow service and free rental bike if mine is down. Dude, once again, flat out ask them. I had the out the door price and my wife had the monthly payment price. So see if the 500 higher place will throw in the 1k service for free. Problem solved. If i like one dealer over the other that would sway my opinion. It did for Harley. I liked the Indians, i do not like the 2 Indian dealers here in stl. Sooo....to Harley I go, and I never looked back.

It pays to shop around IMHO.
When I first bought my Tri-Glide late last year I also purchased a "36 month--36,000 mile maintenance warranty" but I didn't want to pay out the price of the H-D ESP at that time.
I went back after the first (less than 6 months after the purchase and less than 1200 miles on the odometer on my trike) of this year and there was a different finance person by then and he would not sell me ESP at the same price that was offered at the time of the sale, In fact, he wanted $700 more!
I decided to go with DIscountESP for my extended warranty and it was a lot cheaper.
I've heard some bad things about DiscountESP but if I have a problem with them down the road I'll deal with them at that time but I just can't see paying a much higher premium for what appears to be almost identical coverage.
My experience with my last two ESP's is that I didn't get all of my money back but (any) insurance is something you buy hoping that you'll never need it, but IF you do, it sure is nice to have!

I've bought 3 bikes from Mann's without any questions or dealing. Know it seems there is dealing. Kokomo is a little over 2 hrs, while west side harley, part of the group is 45 mins. Thinking of heading there this weekend, weather permitting. Kokomo kind of turned me off, salesman said he had the bike I was looking for, my buddy who was there didn't see it. Yes he also went to the warehouse next door.
