Default How much should I pay for a Softail Slim?

All,

I'm looking to pick up my first Harley-Davidson soon and am looking at the Softail Slim with ABS and Security. I'm looking to get a deal of course so can someone tell me what they paid for their new softail slim?

Different dealers in different areas will have different prices. Supply, demand and taxes usually means someone else will get a better deal than you would.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in Southeast Arizona, Cochise County.

Somewhere around $2500 under the sticker price.

Buy used if you want to save more.

I'm in the middle of a deal and am at about $600 under MSRP plus a $1500 gift card towards parts and labor. This is for a '15 Heritage with security in amber whiskey near Los Angeles. Still not sure if I'm ready to pull the trigger or not.

You will pay full retail at any dealer in my area. What you can negotiate is a gift card to cover some accessories. Also pay attention to what they charge for setup. One dealer wanted $300 for setup and another wanted $900. I walked over the $900 setup fee.
