Default Freight and Setup $$$ ?

This morning, I was at the HD dealer trying to work out a trade on an Ultra to a 2008 CVO Ultra. We're pretty close in trade till they remind me of a $400 freight charge and a $1,000 setup charge. This really pushed me over my comfort level.

Is everyone else paying $1,000 setup charges on a new CVO?

Chuck

Picked up my new CVO SE Springer 2-weeks ago.&nbsp\\; Paid MSRP and a simple $55 documentation fee and that's it.&nbsp\\; Unfortunatley, there are some dealers out there charging 10% - 15% over MSRP and then assorted fees on top of that even...

I thought $1,400 on top of MSRP was too high. Oh, there was another $55 for documentation.

Thanks.

The 2009 models will be out in the middle of July, they will be dealing to get rid of the 08 models. Find another dealer. $1000 for prep is just greedy. Prep around here is usually under 200. Good luck. I drove one at demos last yeay in Sturgis. Best bike I ever rode, just don't know about $35000 price tag.

The 800 freight is obviously inflated ...the 1000 set up is to ...looks like about 1000 worth of "fluff" ...we charge actuall freight and $220 set up ... good luck to you.
