Default In the Market for a Nightster

Whats up guys,

I am currently in the market for a Nightster. I am new to the whole Harley thing as I have just sold my street bike. I am looking to get into a 2007+ Nightster. Can you guys let me know what to look out for and what are good prices for these bikes?

I found this one after searching for about a week. Thoughts?

Check NADA pricing in your area. Checked the pricing in the Texas area and the bike is between low retail and average retail.
If the bike has never been dropped, clean title, and you can get most of the original parts, it would be considered a good deal.

Suggested
List Price Low
Retail Average
Retail
$6,095 $8,020
Options: (change)
Exhaust-High Performance (Street) $212 $283
TOTAL PRICE: $6,307 $8,303

That is a good deal considering the after market parts that are on it. Just give it a good look over, make sure the 1k servicing was done. The seller might even come down a little too. I have an '11 Nightster and love it! No the Nightsters were only made between '07 and '12 I believe.

I'd call it a decent deal after factoring in the parts he has installed. I have an 08 Nightster and all around I've had no issues with it.

Looks like a decent deal. I picked up my 08 for $6500 4 years ago and it was stock except for the bars.
