Question What do you guys think.......

3 options that I am dealing with : 1. 2014 Ultra Limited Amber whisky / Black, 11k miles, Vance &hines true duels,3yrs on transferable warranty with tires and wheels. $15,500
2. 2016 Ultra Limited Sunglo Red / Burgundy 6,600 miles, bone stock, no warranty, $16,500 including tax and tags.
3. 2015 Ultra Unlimited Sunglo Red / Black, 8,800 miles, 4 yr transferable warranty with tires and wheels. $16,000
I'm stuck on this...I like the #2 color best, I was ready to shake on the #2 deal from a car dealer who took it in on trade, but I had the smarts to take it to the H-D dealer to find that the warranty was nullified because it was sold to the car dealer and not a person to person deal. I almost cried.
Help me with this decision and I'll buy the next round.

Pass on all of them and keep looking for the color bike you really want with a warranty. There are tons of bikes out there right not.

Of those three i'd go for the 14 cause I love Amber whiskey over Black paint scheme, and the add ons are what I'd do.

But I agree with the above - wait for the one you really want, the market is flooded right now.

Too many choices to settle. Get what you really want.

Warranty or not I’d buy the 16. I don’t buy extra warranties on anything other than a washing machine and dryer. I like the color the best and it’s newer with lower miles. Stock means you can do with it what ever you want. Get them to $15,500 otd or as close as you can and ride happy.

Just because the warranty is not transferable does not mean you cannot get a warranty. Make the car dealer include one in the sale, I guarantee they have enough room to do it. If they refuse then, as others said, there are a lot of bikes out there right now. Just cast a wider net for your search area.

Tell them you will buy it with warranty and a stage 3 installed.
Same price
Teach THEM about their BS

I had to drive at least 2 hours in one direction to get to all 3 of these bikes.The automobile dealership with the 2016 - price is $16500 out-the-door- he started at $16,900 + tax and tags. The local H-D stealership wants $2450 for a 3yr warranty. Their are a few Black ones around with higher price tags and I don't cotton to Road Glides.
