Default Thoughts on this Cross Bones deal..??

I'm looking at purchasing my first Harley, and I've decided on a Cross Bones. The wife likes the bike, too. This will be our first one, although I used to do some riding before we were married.

I got out the door pricing today for 18500 ( that includes tax ). Thats for a 2008 in vivid black with security system, passenger seat w/sissy bar, and the passenger foot pegs, and document fee, and taxes.

They knocked a few hundred off the MSRP, gave me a bit of a discount on the parts, charged $240 for labor for the extras, and waived the freight and prep...

All in all I think I am pretty happy with this deal, but I was curious what those of you that have dealt with Harley dealers before think.

Thanks

-B

Probably a good deal, anytime you get them to come off MSRP, you are in good shape, especially in the current year model.&nbsp\\; I guess since the 09's are around the corner they are making deals.&nbsp\\;

BRAGGER!!&nbsp\\; Yes, you got a great deal.&nbsp\\; And yes, it is because they're making room for the '09's.&nbsp\\; Way to go!

I don't know... you do know the bike is a year old now... I bet the depreciation will be more than what you think you saved...
