Default 1993 - "Cow Glide"

Looking for some knowledge/help:

My neighbor owns a 1993 Heritage Softail Nostalgic #2566 of 2700. The bike was called the "Cow Glide" due to the cow hide seats/trim. The bike is bone stock with 2000 miles on it. She is asking $9500 for it...what do you think? Below is a link to the same type of bike with +13K miles on it going for almost $14k...

If I had my choice of any 90's bikes to buy, it'd be the "Moo Glide" or a Springer Bad Boy. A friend of mine has a '93 Heritage Nostalgia (Moo Glide). He paid $12.5K for it 7 years ago. It didn't even come with the cow fur seat or bags. I don't think that $9.5k would be a bad price....but this IS a bad economy.

+1 on the moo-glide. 9,500 seems very reasonable if the bike has been taken care of ( no rust and such)

What's it worth to you? That is the real question. But 2k miles and bone stock? Sounds like a reasonable point to begin negotiations to me.

The link you posted is a bike for sale by a dealer.... always overpriced...
If you like the bike.... and think it is worth the money then go for it!

The moo-glide is one of the most memorable & desirable bikes from HD's recent history. I would definitely be tempted to pick it up for that price, especially if it's stock. However, IMHumbleO, if you have plans on doing 3 grand in "customizing" I would look elsewhere. The value in this one lies heavily with it's unmolestedness.

Thats one of those bikes thats worth more the way it is and don't mess with it. The price is reasonable for todays market maybe more depending on the area but not 14k, whoever has that is just wishful thinking. Probably was about that much new.

If the bike is in great condition and you have the Moo-la ....IMO a better investment than the stock market and a great sunny day driver!! Go for it!!

Not on collectibles, Badboys and other limited edition bikes bring a premium. The more it looks like it did from the factory, the better. 2K and bone stock jump on it, if you don't want it let me know where it is and I'll buy it.

You can always offer less, what can they say but no. Local dealer has one (private collection), last I knew he wanted $25K for it.
