If you want a Dyna, don't let anybody talk you into anything else. You won't be happy if you do.
Do you HAVE to have NEW? I say that cause theres lots of great bikes out there at great prices that the owners have poured hundreds, if not thousands of extra dollars in mods.
When I bought my Heritage it's as if the owner was modding it out for me!
Vance & Hines, 4.5" risers raising the bars, HD chrome floorboards & passenger boards, luggage rack, engine & saddlebag guards, etc. ALL things I would want to do were already done.

Why would you buy a bike for 19,000 when MSRP is 12,000 for a new street bob or superglide? Is there something written on your head the stealer, crook, robber, er I mean the salesman says he can rip you off.
Why buy a sportster when you want a dyna?
Did you know that SG and SB have better lean angles then a sportster, larger tank/ fuel range, more comfortable ride, 6 speed, larger engine?
Why buy a used touring bike when you don't want a touring bike and can afford a new dyna?

Wow, you're covering the entire product line there every thing from sport bikes to touring bikes.
I suggest you take some time. Think about what you want, and how you will use it, shop around do some price comparisons, check with private parties, if your lucky you will find a different dealer/salesman.
You need to decide what you want, then try and figure out how to pay for it.
(I have no idea how you got pre-approved without knowing basically what kind of bike.).

Step away from the MONEY...
It sounds like U really don't know what the chit U want...
U need to quit thinking about just buying a bike and deciede what U need.
Theres hundreds of threads on others in the same boat as U...
DON"T rush buying one or U may end up not liking it and want something else by summers end....
figure out how and what U needs are, bar hopping, cruising, long trips...
then sit on and demo them.
Ergo of the bike will make a huge diff... if it don't fit U, U ain't gonna be happy, at least till U spend some major $$$ making her fit U...
