Leftover Street Glides

Let's talk leftovers. Anyone know of any great deals on leftover Street Glides, ideally the special OR a standard with ABS & Security, I don't care about navigation. I figure there's $5K mark up AKA profit in a new SG Special. I've been searching the used market but overlooked the new leftovers. I'm in Pensacola, FL but willing to travel for an "outstanding deal" and not that it matters to a dealer, but I'm paying cash.

Thanks

If you go to Cycle Trader, you can do a search for '17 models. I found 86 SGS within 450 miles of Pensacola.

Message me your phone # and I'll have a buddy who sells new & used HDs call you.
The dealership is a high volume dealership that delivers nationwide, if that is a factor.
He's their top gun & sells 30 bikes himself on a slow month.
He'll call you with the best price w/o games or a run around.

They don't know who they are competing against and will get as aggressive as possible with the pricing and you don't have to haggle for an hour at the dealer.

YMMV, but the dealers I tried wouldn't talk any numbers without me in front of them. In the end I ended up with a good deal but I had to go dance at each dealer to get it.

I emailed them probably 50 pics and told them what I wanted to get for my trade and take it or leave it. Make a long story, they accepted the deal and I bought the new Highlander at $300 over dead cost with my trade and they gave me a very good number on the trade. I drove to Atlanta left my trade in, paid the man and I was out the door in 45 minutes. I have zero patience for dealers and their BS tactics. I pretty much tell them here's my offer in cash take it or leave it and I have no problem walking out the door.
