That is the bike that I had always wanted. My best friend's dad owned one and I remember when he brought it home for the first time. That was the bike that turned me onto Harley's. (BTW it's called a Moo-Glide)

If you don't buy it I will!

I bought one of these new. I didn't keep it long as it was my only bike and I felt guilty riding it (like it should be a museum piece or something). I wanted to ride, got a great offer, sold it and moved on to a Heritage. The one thing I remember most about it was the Cow Hide seat wore extremely fast. I've had some fun riding Harleys!

Talk about old thread revival!!

If you don't like that one, I've got my 1995 version of the same bike up for sale. It's listed in the classifieds...

Shameless plug complete...

Ask her if she bought it in tyler. If she did I was there when she bought it and talked to her while she was waiting for them to get it ready. I remember it being a really sweet bike.

That bike, for that price, would not last a week in this area. I also agree it is a bike best left unmolested.

If all the original parts are there, it is worth it. Then your job is to keep it stock. That is where the value is.

My dealer has one and is asking 9500 and has had it on the floor for almost a year. I don't think the resale value is there on the moo glide as collectors are spending or saving money elsewhere

It's a '93 Softail, it's worth about $7500. Nobody is collecting mid '90's softails- Maybe if you buy it and hold on to it for another 20 or 30 years it'll be worth 10k, not much of an "investment"

Default Nice find

Here's my 2-cents.
An original 93 FLSTN Nostalgia, with all the stock parts, AND 2,000 miles is a rare bike.
BUT in today's market that unfortunately does not translate into dollars for the seller. I agree it is not really an 'investment' if you are looking to buy it for that purpose. BUT IT IS a good (or even great) deal if you are looking to ride it and if you enjoy all the attention you will get.
For reference...I have owned a 94 Nostalgia (bought it new after trying and failing to get the original Moo-Glide), I currently own a 96 Nostalgia, and I also owned a 96 Badboy (another unique, low production 90's Evo).

Take Note: the 94 Nostalgia sold for a BIG profit in 1998 (can't do that today!)
the Badboy sold for a LITTLE profit in 2007.
the 96 Nostalgia I can't find a buyer for at any price, ha ha. My how times have changed

Yes...like some have said, 90's era Evos can be found for $7,500 and up these days, BUT a low mileage, STOCK, 93 Nostalgia SHOULD REALLY command more than that! $9,500 sounds like a very good deal to me and I have experience with owning these bikes.
I have seen a few 93's like your neighbor's for sale for just a bit less (like down to $8,800) but that is the exception...most owners still want $11,000-$13,000 for the original, first-year, and numbered bikes (the next 3 yrs did not get numbered).
STILL...your best bet is to get it from her for her asking price (or a little below), then KEEP IT STOCK, and ride it and enjoy it! Really, in the years to come if it has less than 10,000 miles or so it should be worth what you paid for it or slightly more...and if you ride it more then you'll enjoy it more - that's worth money too!

Good luck.
