Default I was only trying to help. :)

The local Harley dealer has had this really cool '09 CVO fat bob since March or April. I've always said if I had a 2nd HD, this would be the one but the price was too high to justify having it as a "garage queen".

Over the months, I've kept my eye on it and watched the price go down 3 times.

Today, I went in and told them I would give them $15K cash out the door for it.

Guy said the best he could do was $17,995 + Tax & doc fees.

I told him my original offer was the highest I would go.

Oh well. Win some, lose some.. She sure is pretty though.



I'll be interested to see if they're still sitting on it at the end of the riding season..

Looks good and the price is very reasonable for a CVO. If I were into Dynas and I had the money I would be all over that

Is that a 110 in it. If so, bet it would really go!

I didn't expect them to take my offer but you never know until you try.

As much as I love that bike, it would be an occasional around town show off piece while my limited would remain the daily work horse.

Since it would really just be a toy, I could only justify it if I could pretty much steal it. Lol.

Nice. Like the bars the CVO model comes with much more than the standard Fat Bob. Very nice paint.

sweeten the deal a little for them. tell them you'll finance 15k. then after you get your first bill, pay it off. they get some money on the financing, and you 'steal' the bike

probably still wouldn't go for it, but never hurts to try.

Not if it's a stock 110.

I would think that price has pretty much hit the bottom, and it should probably be worth that several years from now. If I had the money, I'd buy it, ride it for a couple of years and sell it for the same price.
