You could Google 84 Harley Davidson Electra Glide and maybe find out. However, it really comes down too what ever two people are willing to agree on though. The $8999 sounds like a bit much too me however......... Unless ya just want a 84 Harley E Glide.

It depends on a lot of factors. Condition, mileage, Original Equipment still present.
It comes down to what it is worth to you and how many of the same are available in the area.

A guy at work had an '86 EG for $6K and it didn't sell.

As reference, a guy where I work paid $6,000 for an 87 Electraglide that had 100,000 miles on it. He's an idiot but that's another story.

Kelly blue book is $6625. Ask the bank what the loan value is on it. I bet it's about $5,500.

I'm not sure about 1984. It was either the last year for Shovelheads or the first year for EVOs. If you want a shovel, fine but if it's the first year of the EVO, I get a little spooky about buying first year offerings. I prefer to let them work out the kinks in a few succeeding model years.
