Default Out the Door...

Went to Harley just yesterday to check out some prices, had someone tell me they slashed a lot for Bike Week up at Rossmeyer's.

Figured with tax refunds coming back sometime soon, and a nice fat commission check on the 16th, I might wanna go shoot some numbers around.

Well, I get there and am informed that they have one on the lot for $7995. So we walk around, trying to find it, it's gone... Guy goes and talks to the store manager, and comes back saying "Yeah it's gone, but he said I can do that price on any of them for you."

So I go upstairs and talk to my buddy "Kid Rock" (for obvious reasons) and he tells me, o.t.d. for 10,099. On my way out, I see an older buddy of mine, and he tells me to come to him, he'll hook it up more.

With shaky credit, I don't think I get much better deal at 10% with $185 a month. So, educate me. What have you guys walked o.t.d. with? Not just Nighsters, anything from K.C. MO. Any kind of negotiating tactics you'd tell a first time dealership buyer?

Thanks,
-Ryan.

4 months ago, my '07 xl1200c was $9078 out the door...Tag, tax and title...out the friggin door.....So I went back and bought an '07 Road king classic for $17,500 out the door before they decided they were not charging enuff.

$10.5 is kinda high.....Screw worring about your credit,credit scoredon't make any difference on out the door price, just total payback on loan due to higher interest rate.
