Used 14-16 Street Glide Values???
Need yall opinions.....Been thinking about upgrading to a M8 powered street glide but cant seem to come to grips with putting out the cash for essentially a motor upgrade. I really like my Rushmore bike but wonder is it worth putting more $$$ into. What is the value for a (<10k miles) Street Glide with the common upgrades (exhaust, filter, programmer, chrome wheels, accessories,etc...not 26 and bigger wheeled bikes)? Seen stock bikes as low as $14k and upgraded ones for $20k+.

I had a 14 SGS with 40K miles on it and loved the blacked out look and stretched rear bags on the 18SGS so I made the move not long after they came out last year. Unless you loved that blacked out look why would you spend the money for a new bike if you're riding apparently just a few thousand miles a year? If I were in your shoes it would boil down to really liking the blackened look, the stretched bags and the 114 on the 19 SGS with the 114 motor. The new GTS Boombox would not be enough to make me jump.. As far as trade in value, the dealer and I struggled back and forth with offers for almost 3 weeks before settling on just under $18K for my 14.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Definitely confused by the $30K+ pricing for a 19 SGS out the door. I love the 114 motors but seems like HD is pricing these bikes out of the budget for most of their loyal customers. You have a great point about the mileage I put on a bike a year. That may be a great reason to keep my 14 SGS and just customize it.

It's hard here to sell to private party because you don't get any credit for the sales tax you paid on the sold bike if you sell to a private party. Because of that "tax credit" when you trade in to the dealer I only had to pay $900 or so sales tax on the new bike. My asking price in a private sale would have had to be gigantic to offset the sales tax discount. Hope that makes sense.

Here is the way to find out what people will really pay for a used Harley. Go to ebay, look for the bike you are after, then look at completed purchases only, and check out the green ones (actually sold). You will see that the number of no sales FAR exceeds the number of succesful sales... which means to me that it is still true that Harley owners have an inflated opinion of the value of their bike. This has been true since the end of the boom era of the early 2000's.

Yes you are correct. I just checked my papers and It is listed as $15,500 trade in and the rest is the discount off the new bike. I didn't really care how they listed it as long as they subtracted $18k from what I owed them when I gave them my trade in. Oh yeah, it wasn't 30k miles it was just shy of 40k miles.
