Default Decent deal

I'm looking at trading my 01 Softail on a 2014 SG ,

There going to give me $ 8500.00 for my 01 Softail FXSTD , reality is more like $6500 trade , it's off season here too.

14 SG standard , 2460mi , 1K service done all syn , security added , remaining warranty to Aug 2015, Recalls done , Rush slip ons , 4 point docking w/backrest , hwy pegs , and grips = 19,499 OTD ( minus my trade )

I couldn't find a 14 listed for less than $ 18, 500 in all my searches ,

Does this sound like a decent deal ?

If you are happy with the numbers, go for it. Otherwise make a counter offer.

WOW 8500 on a 01! And that's a pretty good deal on the sg. I would def do that deal. You will love the sg and will probably wonder why u didn't do it sooner. Good luck either way.
