How Bout This Price?
I think I may have found a replacement for my '03 Heritage! The dealer called me with a '02 Heritage, Jade green, EFI, all the reservoirs, levers, and switch housings are chrome, otherwise stock. 11K miles and cosmetically excellent for $10500. I'm trying not to get too emotional about the buy, but it seems like a fair price from which to negotiate. What do you think about that price!

I totalled my '03 in a crash about a month ago. NADA shows an average retail on an '02 of $9700. I mentioned the chrome housings just to give an idea of the upgrades. Don't know why someone has to be a smart a## about it. I thought this was a forum to kick around ideas.

My 2 cents. All the upgrades don't mean a thing unless you're lucky enough to find a buyer with the exact same taste as you. $5,000 worth of chrome does not make a bike worth $5,000 more. I sold my Sportster to a dealer. After he made an offer of $5k, I said fine, but I removed upgrades that cost me nearly $1,000. He still gave me the $5K and I sold the removed parts on ebay and here on the forum. If NADA on your '03 was $9,700, I'd offer $9 and go up from there.

They're just joking around with you, lol.
Just my 2 cents, but if you're looking at bikes 7-8 years old, there are some killer deals on craigslist and whatnot. Lots of folks have to pay bills and if it's in that age, it's probably paid off so open to any offer.
Either way, as long as it's what you want, go for it! Anything is worth whatever someone else is willing to pay bud.
Ride safe and congrats.
