Default 2011 Wide Glide or 2011 Cross Bones?

I currently have a 2011 Wide Glide. Looking at possibly trading it in for a 2011 Cross Bones. Any thoughts on the Cross Bones? Will it hold its value more than the Wide Glide?

I owe just over 15G on my Wide Glide, and the dealership is gonna pay off my loan. They are asking 19,??? for the Cross Bones. It has a few extras: smoked lenses, Rush exhaust, Stage 1, Black grips, rear pegs, side kick seat.

Good deal or bad deal?

Thanks for the help!

Depends on what they give you for the 'Glide; doubt they'll give you 15k on the trade-in...

So you go from owing $15,000.00 to over $19,000.00
your call

already talked to the dealer on the phone. Gonna pay off my loan for 15,336 if I buy the Bones. I really like the X-Bones but is it worth 19,???. The dealer didnt give me a set price on the X-Bones, he just said it was under 20,000 by a bit.

I want something that is going to hold its value really well. Just want to make sure I am getting a good deal.

19K for Bones? They better have put a lot of goodies on that thing. Otherwise, it's way over priced.

Roger that, dealer is counting on the discontinuation of the model to bolster the price increase.

if you're looking for something that holds value , buy gold not a motorcycle .

on a more practical note , you've got a new wide glide , what about it don't you like so much that you want to trade it , and what is it about the crossbones makes you think you're going to like it better ?
