Default advice

Looking to buy an Ultra with ABS at a dealership in Seattle. They have two on the floor. They are offering $1,000 gift card with them. I have been waiting for the 09 but unless something major different on it, hoping to get a deal on the 08. I am thinking once the new line is out this week, they might be more willing to deal. What's a fair price on the 08? It is the black pearl so a little extra dough there. Also, I plan to pay cash but i heard if you finance with them, you might get a better deal. I can always cash it out in a couple of weeks.

We need to see what the 09 msrps are.&nbsp\\; If they are WAY higher, dont look for the dealers to deal to much on the lower msrp 08 models.&nbsp\\; I was at the dealer last week, they are almost sold out of all 08s. The dealer is still at MSRP or higher on what they have.&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\; +1&nbsp\\; The 1 grand gift card is certainly an incentive to go with the '08 IMO.&nbsp\\; Also, welcome.

Bought my Ultra last month. Got a 1K gift card, and was able to talk them down on the sticker a little.

Tell them to sharpen their pencil and make you a better deal!

Last year I got a $1500 gift card for buying an 07 when the 08s were coming out. One caution the card could only be used for items they had in stock at the time.

if it is the right bike for you, go for it.&nbsp\\; They completely redesigned the touring models in 08.&nbsp\\; I wouldn't expect another huge change in 09.&nbsp\\; You will be happy with the ABS.
