RE: Buying a new Fatboy
It all depends on how the market is in the area you are looking to buy. That being said some are more motivated to deal than others. One the average, I would at least look at getting the bike at msrp with no setup/shipping fees or greatly reduced fees. Some are getting in-store credit up to 1000.00 bucks. Shop around and try to play one dealer against the other.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Friend of mine just did real well at World Class in Trenton, NJ on an 08 Custom. They were pretty aggressive about getting his business. Even the dealer he bought his first HD at said if they were giving him that price, he should jump on it. He did everything over the phone and I brought him down to get it home. I think the salesman's name was Eddy but that is off the top of my head. PM me if you need a name.

RE: Buying a new Fatboy
I gotta tell ya... I would think there has to be room to bargain where the economy is. I would think you should be able to get 1K - maybe 2K if you shop around.
I would shoot for 1K off MSRP and 1K credit in accessories - as a starting point. Some dealers will absolutely not budge - but if you shop around.. you should be able to get a good deal.
The economy is in the dumps and the forecast is to get worse.. and Harley's are about as disposable as it gets when it comes to luxury items.

RE: Buying a new Fatboy
Do your home work before hand, go to the dealer with a specific bike in mind, print out the spec sheet and ask for the world, they might say yes but if they say no at least you asked...
