Default Price question

Hey guys, new here. I'm hoping to pick up a new Crossbones this weekend. I'm just curious if $17,500 with sec, rear seat, and sissy bar installed sounds like a good deal.

check around with other dealers...the bike should be the same price regardless of the dealer....see if you can get them to waive the setup fee.&nbsp\\; They did for me. &nbsp\\;

It's a buyers market right now, so don't be afraid to try and get it for less.&nbsp\\; Probably a good idea to try and void setup, and doc fees if possible, but it sounds like a real good deal to me.&nbsp\\; Welcome aboard.&nbsp\\; CCRyder

Sounds good. Some dealers in my area still want $3000 over MSRP.&nbsp\\;What a joke. Im looking at getting one but I hear the Springer Classic might be back in 09. So if it is with a 200 rear tire that would be great. The dealers just wont say anything.

That's real good deal.&nbsp\\; My local dealer has them for $18500 right now without anything and plus taxes.&nbsp\\; I bought my in April for $17100 plus taxes and I had to really haggle to get the setup, delivery, and doc fees taken off.&nbsp\\;

It's done!! I'm headed up to Iowa on Saturday to pick it up. The only question is do I ride back or put it on the trailer?

Is it broken already?&nbsp\\; If not, then ride it home.&nbsp\\; Don't let the first time you take your bike out to be a trailer ride.&nbsp\\; Besides, you'll be working on those break-in miles right away.
Congrats and have fun.
