Smile Dealer called tonite
Offering msrp on my 07 Sportster.I told him it has 24k.He'll talk to his mangler.I guess HD factory's kickin something in,after they sign up for the program.If it makes enough difference,I'll be getting the Superglide custom.That would be nice.

I don't understand - why would the dealer want to buy back your sportster?

Good luck but not very often you get your money back on a trade in especially when for accessories.

Not sure I totally understand. The dealer is going to give you MSRP your old 2007 Sportster? Why?

Trading a bike is just a numbers game. Are they going to offer you more for your sportster and then add the difference onto the new bike?

No accessories on it.The program is a factory sponsored thing,they give some money to help the dealer with getting to org. msrp.It'll never work in my case because I don't drive a couple miles a year,but it will help.

Exactly. Heck, they gave me just 500 less than what I bought mine for.
