Arrow best time to sell a harley

might sell my 2014 "looks new/mint" sgs 10k miles. Mechanically stock and some extras like back rests fangs, extra windshield, etc.
Wonder what it is worth? and should I wait til spring to sell 'slick'. I am thinking $18500

For the most part spring time. But that could depend on were you live to some degree, if you don't care about dealing with tire kickers! then anytime is probably as good as the beginning of ridding season... good luck and i hope you get a fair price for your bike.

You might need to research the asking price a little..... I think you're high...

I paid $18K for a '16 Ultra Classic w/14k miles, from a dealer, almost a year ago.....

Not sure how the market is down there but here in MA you are high on price. I paid 17.5k in 2015 for my 14 SGS with 4k on it. Value now with factory chopped tour pack retail is 12.5k low, 16.8k high. Being in Dallas I would think you're less susceptible than the Northeast as far as seasonal sales go.

Think about knocking a couple grand off..... That’s a start

No offense but you’ve priced your 5 year old Rushmore Streetglide higher than most “Stealerships” are taxing for.

The best time to sell was the late 80's, you kinda missed that window so adjust your current price to the current market.

I'd list it in March when tax returns start flowing in.
