If you like the bike - go see it and bring only the amount of cash you're willing to pay for it - in a lot of cases you flash cash in front of a guy - they find a hard time saying no

I gave $16,500.00 in September for a 2014 St. Glide Special with 2800 miles on it. The bike came from Virginia. The bike looks brand new and came with extras such as extra seat, sissy bar with pad for passenger and a rack carrier and the 4-point doc plate.

====================

NADA shows avg ret = $17,940 & low retail @ $13,635 not accounting for extremely low 1k miles for the yr too.

They are basically asking top book so a good buy on that basically still new bike in like new cond would be approx $15,500-16k.

Bring cash because it's king when buying that should get you best deal.

But to be safe i rec you bring along a friend or 2 when having that much cash on hand.

Good luck.

Go low for sure and let him come down and then split the difference.

I see dealers with 15s advertised at 18K maybe not as low mileage but that's a 15 at a dealer (advertised)

I would price a new '16 at the dealer first. There were quite a few leftover '16 bikes on the floor when I went a few weeks ago.
