Things have been slow to sell around Memphis also. Worked out well for me tho, I gave $3k for my 05 1200r with 16k miles. So, I'm all about lowballing offers. lol Especially when it comes to the dealers.

When I traded in my 06 sporty to the dealer 1 1/2 years ago, they gave me 4000 for it. They probably paid 3500 if it was a trade. Then figure another 500 to get it on the floor. I'm guessing they would let it go for 5K. They like to make at lest 1K on it.
They sold my sporty in a week

Good attitude. The best possible thing you can do to strengthen your bargaining position is be ready to walk away from the deal.
The dealership owes you an answer on your offer, even if that answer is "No".
BTW, I happen to like the Sunburst Yellow.

I made a offer on an 2006 HD 1200C Sporster(metal flake yellow) w/6k miles for $4k yesterday at a HD dealer. Not a word from the dealer.
The bike was in very good condition with Stage 1 upgrade and a lot of bling upgrades.
Do ya think I low balled them too much to the point of insulting them or was this a resonable offer?
