I spoke with a dealer on Saturday about the new trade in program for my 07 Sporty. The will give me $9,700 for my Sporty, but would not deal at all on the new bike. Going to another dealer tomorrow to see if I can do any better. New bike with be either a RK or Heritage Classic.

I keep holding my breath... Prices are going to get irresistible. Then that new "Dark Street Glide"... will be mine.

Went to Seminole Harley today in Sanford, Florida and the showroom was full, they had some great prices on 07's, and 08's, with prices posted on them, I don't know what they are doing if anything with new bikes. This new economy we are in you will see prices on luxury items will keep coming down because the key for luxury market is Liquidity (Cash flow), so deals will be happening.

Vegas just rolled out a whole pile of their Rental Fleet ( above msrp!!!!) and these scoots have 20k+ on them. So they deal on their old stuff and stick on the new. Only in Vegas!!!!

My buddy bought an '09 Road Glide at San Diego Harley yesterday for $1K under MSRP, plus T&L. No set-up or freight. He's a happy man today

i just bought my Classic 09 last week.
One dealer was 18800.00, so i went down the road and the same bike (literally, thet did a dealer trade), they sold for 18k., plus gave more for my trade.
The higher dealer really did not care that they losy my business.

The dealer is selling at 10% below MSRP right now on 09's, it was hard to resist! I just want to wait a little longer and haven't really decided on new or used yet, it's nice to see the dealers actually dealing for a change though.
Would try a Few More Dealers with you living in FL for sure ... Got my 08 EGS for 15,956 out the door with a the SG Lowering Kit and 1K Service thrown in as well..

I was at my local dealer over the weekend and they had 4 2008 Ultra's still on the floor. And not one of them was marked down. That's a lot of 08 Ultras to still have on the floor, plus the other assorted 08's on the floor.
