Bought a used 2007 883L last April. Traded it in and received MSRP just as advertised. I was able to buy the 07 for considerably less than new last April, trade it in for considerably more than I bought it for this January and sold the accessories separately on ebay.

It was a great deal. You can trade in a used Sportster that you bought from someone else as I did, but it cannot have been purchased after the date that the program started (December 26, 2008, I believe).

Better be sure you bought it before Dec. 25, 2008.

From the "terms and conditions" page:
http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/C...e=en_US&#terms

The owner must have valid title of the qualifying existing motorcycle to qualify for
this offer and must be the current owner of the vehicle as of December 25, 2008.

Trade worked as advertised for me. Take off any add-ons you might have installed, they won't give you anything for them.
