I have a 2017 FLHTKSE Stage 2 TQ cams with SE Tuner, Wild Ones 10 bars and a couple other small things. 7,500 miles and 8 months since I bought it.
Not sure I would be interested in trading but I like the look of a couple of the ‘18 colors. I stopped by the shop I trade with the most just to kick tires and look around. Really like the CVO RG so I talked about trading and right away they started with the “Hard to Get” “ Limited Production”
I know they do not consider add one in the trade value but they came back at $31,500... hahahaha that is nearly a $10,000 hit not including the add ons. I had thought maybe a $5,000 trade difference, but they are at like $12,500. They said the amount they offered would be the same on the CVO SG or Limited and it was because Harley changed the motor to a 117.
Needless to say I have no interest in trading with that offer.
Anyone getting better offers?

Don't forget (well in WI anyway) you need to add on the tax credit. So if you are getting $31k for your trade in WI that's 5% of $31k or $1550 in taxes you do not have to pay on the new bike. So truly you are getting $32,500.00. So if you could get $32,500 or $33,000 selling it yourself or $31k + $1550 tax savings... I'd take it. I don't have to deal with all the people wanting to come "test ride" my CVO on a private sale.
