There is no way i would do that deal! I bought a 04 Heritage with 14000 miles on it for 8k last year. Shop around a bit and even if you can't find one exactly the way you want it, you can always upgrade it with the cash you saved.

I hope they're including a packet of KY with that trade--you are getting HOSED!!

A couple months ago I was gonna trade my '04 Fatty for a 98 Softail Custom, all original, with 809 original miles, and in just-uncrated condition, and the dealer was gonna give me $200 cash, too.

The biggest problem with '96 will be getting parts. Early 90's Evos had a problem with the cases cracking around the lifter block area for no reason, but I think by 96 it had been fixed.

That 96, if mint, is a 6 grand bike at most. Don't trade. Buying used from a dealer is always a ripoff.

Much better deals...

Here are a few:

Quick search of Cl shows some higher prices in your area...can usually ship for around 500 or less

Well, even though this isn't the introduce yourself part of the forum, since I'm here, might as well get it over with.

Bought my softail last year, had been looking at getting back on a bike after about a 25 year break. Was career military, most of it overseas, and given that along with family stuff, a bike just never happened, though I came close several times. Currently living in SW Iowa, working on a second retirement.

And below is my bike (the one they wanted along with the 2500) Oh yeah, been lurking here since I bought the bike, glad i finally jumped in.

The bike you have, and the bike you wanted, are virtually the same...
Different fenders...
Floorboards instead of your pegs...

I suspect the difference is.... The handlebars...
Spend 5 hundo, put apes on yours.... Call it a day....
