RE: First bike, first post
Going rate is about half way between KBB trade and retail pricing. Go from there.
2005 Fatboy: trade in: $10,500 & retail: $15,000
2005 Deluxe: trade in: $10,660 & retail: $15,200
Assuming both are injected models.
I'd offer them $13,000 if you really like one. Buyers market out there.

Thanks for the feedback. \\;\\\\\\; I will look into getting a new bike as well.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I am in Seattle and the Seattle economy and real estate market is holding up pretty well compared to the rest of the US. \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\; Dealers seem to be \\;\\\\\\;moving a lot of bikes right now.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Based on my research (ebay, craigslist) it seems that HDs are just a little more expensive in this market. \\;\\\\\\;
 \\;\\\\\\;
Does anyone else agree/disagree or is that just my perception? \\;\\\\\\; If I buy a bike off of ebay, shipping to Seattle will run \\;\\\\\\;an additional $650-$1000, which is still cheaper than used bikes around here.

Dude,
\\\\\\;
I think that's a bit high for both bikes. Especially for a stock 05 Fatty. \\\\\\; Is that out the door? \\\\\\; I paid $16,300 + tax, $100 gift certificate, 1/2 \\\\\\;off 1,000 mile \\\\\\;service, 2 \\\\\\;T-shirts and a Harley gym bag \\\\\\;for my 07 Fatty brand new. \\\\\\; It's a buyers market out there. \\\\\\; BTW, I'm 6'1" and the Fatty fits perfect.

So in other words, give them a low ball offer and see what you can get.
