CVO Depreciation
#11
#12
I have a 2016 white CVO Street Glide, I have 122 HP and 139 TQ from work I did myself on the bike but still spent $5000 on parts alone plus my time, I will never see that money. That's why I'll be riding this one till i can't ride anymore. It's probably my last 2 wheeler. I've been riding since I was 18 and my first bike was a 69 sporty, I'm 62 now and have owned a bunch in between. Before the days of $40,000 bikes you could ride for 5 years and get back 80%, that's just not the case anymore. The market is saturated and the buyers are drying up. It's just a fact of life

I've stated this before, when i saw this bike, i thought man that is the one. And it has been, i just added fog lights. I'll have to update my pictures. The fog light addition was purely a safety thing, more light to be seen by the distracted drivers, but i like how they look also.
This is my sunset bike, my last and at 72 i think i, God willing, I have a few more good years of ridding, then i will pass it on and i'm not looking to get a big pay day, but i won't be trying to sell it at a dealership, low ball city.

Dealership is asking 2 K over internet pricing on the new bike and the dealership is offering 6K less internet trade in pricing, I'd be going from a CVO to a non CVO model.
The way I see it. They are doing just fine without my buisness and just don't give a crap.
I went south 150 miles to buy the CVO when this dealership said they couldn't get one for me, I'm betting I could do the same thing again, south, north, east, west, meh! Their loss. I may spend a few dollars finding the deal, but, I'm betting I find it.
OR, I'll just keep it, I wasn't disappointed with the bike, my wife suggested the new bike.

Percentage-wise, a CVO will lose more value than the comparable standard Touring model.
In another thread asking about CVO's, I did a little research. Based on NADA low/wholesale value, a '15 Road Glide Ultra lost 40% of its value, and a '15 Road Glide CVO lost 44% of its value.

My dealer had a used CVO on the floor a few years ago
and it it wasn’t selling. I asked why? They said used CVO’s are hard to move because people always want new ones. They know are going to drop
some serious coin and they do not want a “used” one.

I got high retail on my last trade (not a CVO). It's the only reason I got rid of the bike.
