So if they are giving u 14k and you still need to pay another 17k for what is about an 18k bike I think, I would have to say no because you are basically only getting 2k for your bike.
That is if your bike is paid off which I suspect it isn't

I think what he is saying is they wanted $3400 difference. $17,400 selling price minus his trade. From there, you add any payoff amount owed if any. I am not sure what the list is on the 11, but it sounds to me like an average deal.

Doesnt sound like a bad deal if your looking to part ways with the train for a fatboy.

Tell them you'll do it if they throw the exhasut in. IF not walk. Call them back in a few days and they should be ready to deal. It's all how you play your cards.

That's a generous trade allowance. Also, you're paying tax on the difference only. I'd go for it regardless of the pipes.

Since you posted on here that u are thinking about the trade, you must be serious. So, if you were going to sell the bike individually, you would need to sell it for $15,120 to break even at 8% sales tax. Know anybody with that kinda cash that will step up? Like Drew said, I'd give them a few days to sit on it and I think you can find a good compromise.
