Default Good Deal For Someone, I Think

Wausau HD has 3 brand new 2016 Ultra Low models, 2 silver and black and 1 all black, for $22,900 ($22,000 for the all black). They also have a new 2017 Ultra Low for $24,000. That one is blue. So, if you're looking for a new bike and the Low will work for you, those are pretty damn good prices, I think. What do others think?

Honestly, I don't think I know how to price Harleys anymore. They don't hold their value like they used to.
In a couple of months, those 2016 models will be 3 years old when the 2019 models are out. If you look at NADA retail average pricing on a 2016 Ultra Low, it's $18, 475. That's a $10,000 hit on depreciation. WOW!!! I just don't remember the bikes taking a hit like that only a few years back. Maybe they did and I just wasn't paying close enough attention, but man!, that's a BIG hit to your pocket the next time you go to trade or sell yourself.

Oh Wow, I think someone will end up getting burned by this. Pays to read the warranty closely.

The warranty is 2 year's from purchase date, if brand new, never titled, from authorized dealer, way I understand it,

did you look at what i attached from the owner's manual above? that is direct from the 2016 ultra owner's manual.

24 months from date of purchase OR 3rd anniversary of the last day of the model year of the motorcycle, whichever is earliest.

Those prices are STILL above invoice for a new 2018(at least the "invoice" that floats around on the internet).

I would be interested in a new 2016, but it would be at like 20k OTD max...

Ive been chatting with a local dealer on a left over 2017 Ultra and they were throwing the 22k OTD number around... which would put the bike price somewhere under 20k.

The key word here is "Starting from ." It would be covered.

you're right. it was late and i focused on duration. but it's still good to know that you can buy a bike new that does not have a complete 2 year warranty, depending on how long it's been in the dealership.
