So, long story short, I tried to purchase a 2006 Fat Boy from the local dealer back in June. It was totally stock (but did include a fatty scratch on the exhaust) and the best the dealer could do was $14,750 for it. I HAD to walk away from that. So I tried the private party route and on Craigslist was almost the exact same bike. Only differences were this one had upgrades (backrest, short shots, etc.). After some back and forth I got it for $11,700 (same bike in sig). It's now been almost 4 months and I just love going back to the dealer for accessories and seeing their $14,750 still sitting on the showroom floor. I always make it a point to make sure the sales manager sees me smirking by it (the salesman was nice, the sales manager was just a cocky *****). Just had to vent.

 

Good on you .. 14,750 was way overpriced.. Got my 08 FLHT Brand New for 15,956 OTD ..

 

like i always say KARMA IS A BITCH: ONLY THING BETTER IS INSTANT KARMA: good for you

 

Some days your the bug and some days your the windshield---- good for you.

 

I'd just say to him somthing like,, Hey I found another bike and now I am trying to figure what to buy with the $4500 ($3k +$1.5k stg1, =$4.5k) I saved on it.

 

Go in and ask him what he would give you for a trade in,since he already has one there selling for much more than you paid.I'd have to bet it is a shitload less than the 14k hes asking for the one there.If he topped $9000 Id be surprised.

 

Nothing better in life thana good gloat.............well, almost nothing!!!

 

There is some real good deals to be had these days on used HD's. Congrats on the Fatty and enjoy the ride.

 

That just must feel good ALL OVER!
