Used Softail, how much should I pay?
Used Softail, how much should I pay?
I am thinking of puchasing a used 2005 Softail Springer, it has 15K miles on it. Selling for $12,000.00. Stock (w/ Screamin' Eagle Stage 1).
Is that a good deal??
What do you guys think? And what should I look for when buying this?

Whoa...hold onna sec there. Looking at the NADA book says that scoot low price is 9k and the high 11k. You should talk with the seller and let him know you're aware of the bluebook value. I think ya payin a little too much!

Hmmm - 88" engine instead of the bigbore or stroker, 5sp instead of the 6sp.
I paid $12K for my 2010 Heritage with 9K on it. You're paying a premium for the Springer front end, which could be added later, I suppose. As long as you're OK with that...
As the other guy said - I think closer to $10 might be a better deal for you, but since the Springer family is no more, it's a tough argument.

Less than $10K would be a more appropriate price for a Softail Springer Standard. A good deal is under $9k with that mileage. If it is the Softail Springer Classic, you are about right.
Thanks brotha! Is there a NADA book somewhere online?? That's with 15K miles right?

Yes you are....Springers generally go for more money...and it will cost you a minimum of 2k to add a used one off ebay. As long as Harley is not making springers they will rise in value...of course they may start making them again next week
SprungDave, it's actually a FXSTSi model. Hmmm...u think under $9K?
