Don't know, I'm shocked they are offering 15K for a Rocker with 10,000 miles!

So if they give you 15K for yer' Rocker and they want 17.9K for the glider thats a trade difference of 2.9K

So tax the 2.9K at say 8% and now you have 3.1K to which you then add back your payoff of 17K making your bottom line before any down payments or DOC fees a whopping 20.1K on a used car lot Street Glide??

Ouch.

Certainly he is offering your more for your Rocker than would an actual HD dealer as his bike is a tad high as well.

If you love it do it. Resale will be night and day better on that Glide than yer' Rocker. I would be writing a check for at least 3 grand to keep the financed amount in this stratosphere though. You would be actually better off owing 20 grand on a 1000 SG than 17K on a 10,000 rocker!!

Buy it.
