$3000 over MSRP?
What's with that? Do people really pay that much for a H/D?[sm=huh.gif]
Yesterday I stopped in to Mike's Famous Harley Davidsons and was shocked to see the price tags there. The best example that I remember is the price of the '07 Street Bob. Their tag price was $16,595. The '07 H/D for one is $13,595 for Vivid Black, and $13,920 for a color option. Who, in their right mind, would pay that much over MSRP for a bike?[sm=dontgetit.gif]

That's the way Mike's prices. Sometimes they have add ons, sometimes not. He has a huge selection. If you know exactly what you want, he probably has it on the showroom floor. Some people want instant gradification and are willing to pay for it.[sm=dontgetit.gif]

I won't pay it, but it would not be happening if someone was not. Main reason my first new ride was an Outlaw was from a 50% markup at every dealer back then. I got a very fast custom that was exactly what I wanted for just a few thousand over the stock Softtail.

RE: $3000 over MSRP?
I was talking to some guy and he said Mike's took a boat in trade for his Harley. I am guessing most Harley dealers wouldn't do that. But like other's said they have every model colour combination out there.
What really get's me is they say in their radio ads here in Maryland "No Sales Tax" Sure you don't have to pay sales tax when you buy it but if you want to get tags and registration you are going to pay the taxes then. I wonder if people are stupid enough to fall for this scam.
I was in their secondary Delaware dealership and they had a few 2006's with signs on them that said 2000 dollars off. I wonder if that is off MSRP or their hiked up prices.

RE: $3000 over MSRP?
I've bought three bikes from Mike's and never paid over MSRP. In fact one I got $400 below MSRP. If I hadn't got the prices I wanted I would have simply walked. The people who pay over MSRP are the ones who don't know any better. And the ones who don't care because they have a chitload of disposable income. They also cater to people who really want a Harley but have not so good credit and are willing to pay extra because Mike's has a great relationship with HD Credit and can get people financed who can't at other dealerships. You really want sticker shock you should have seen them 6 months ago. Their prices were even higher. And they don't do the add-on thing as much as they used to. They might have one or two bikes out there with extra goodies.
