Depends on "dealership hold back."

Dealers that move more new units, compared to last year, do a lot better.

I was in talking to a sales guy about a '20. I brought the invoice price up from this site... Of course his answer was.. You can't believe everything you read on the internet. So I said.. OK then prove me wrong, show me your invoice cost. He says he's not obligated to show me that number. I told him to have a nice evening and walked away. What I don't get is why don't dealers put the price they want for a bike on their website?? This is very irritating. I can go to any auto dealer site and it doesn't say, click to inquire about price...

Although irritating, there are plenty of Auto dealers that do the same thing.

I believe it .. and while its true that the numbers on the web probably arent exact .. they are surely close. I used that site to work the deal on my Street Glide. Nothing to write home about .. but 22k and change out the door tax tags, with gap .. abs and upgraded radio, custom color.

I think MSRP was more than that. .. but yeah .. the numbers in that link are close. Riding High Harley in High Point tried to play that "I sell at MSRP" game. ... "see ya wouldnt want to be ya !" Worked the deal with Tobacco Road Raleigh.

Ya, I'm sure there are some, but I've never come across one when shopping for a vehicle. There is one HD 30 miles south of me that does list all their prices. They also state that the price includes Freight & Setup
