I'm starting to get the itch for a '08 Ultra. My loan balance on my '06 Ultra is about $13K. Can any of you tell me what the trade-in value of my '06 might be? It has about 12,000 miles on it in good shape.

Just wondering. I will probably just keep it but was wondering if I am upside down on the deal. Thanks in advance for your input.

When I had the numbers run back in August, mine, with 18,000 miles, was blue booked at $14, 500 trade in. Retail was around $18,000. Accessories mean nothing on trade in, so take off what you can use on the new one before you trade.

 

I would think you would have at least a couple thousand equity in your bike and that is low mileage. If I was you I would keep it but only you can make that decision.

 

Check out Kelley Blue Book. It will give you a good idea of what to expect.

Thanks folks. I will probably hang on to it for a while. I missed opportunity to test ride the '08s couple of weeks ago here at the local dealer. I went on a rode trip instead. You know how it is when you start looking at the new ones and wondering what if...

Probably a good idea for now. This is not a good time to be trying to trade in Harleys given the current sales slump. However, if you want to get a more realistic idea of what your bike may be worth, check out eBay and see what the actual bids on similarly equipped Ultras. (Ignore the opening price or "Buy It Now" prices - they mean nothing.)

 

For your zip code price is 12,685(trade in).

17,495 value

 

Thanks again for the replys. Again...I think I'll hang on to it.

Think I would keep it , especially with all the over heating and tranny rumors going around about the 07/08's . Wait awhile and let HD's current designs prove themselves .

 

keep it and build a 95incher that smokes the 96. get some head work and a good cam.
