tried to trade today
Finally stopped raining this afternoon so I took off to the local MoCo dealer for a ride. Visited with a sales rep about a trading my 05 Ultrafor an 08 RKC. My Ultra has 14500 miles on it, etc. Anyway, the dude comes out and sales " What a deal I have for you!" Really, he did. $5000 and your bike for the 08.
Nope too much. He said what are you thinking and I said lot less than that. I told him I would do a stage 1, new pipes, buy the $900 Tour Pak, and upgrade to ABS. He left and came back saying $4500.
Going to KC tomorrow to another dealer and we'll see what they say there.
More later.
Ride safe and have fun,

Sadly, an 05 Ultra is only worth about 12500 tops in a trade, don't shoot me, I'm just a messenger. Miles and extras don't mean a thing to a dealer, The 07 96 Inch & six speed KILEED the Moco's used market, Hell, I have an 06 Streetglide, it's onlty worth 12500 on a trade. SO I feel your pain.

Those offers are not outof line. You can always sell for 12-2000.00 more than a dealer will pay. The dealer is usually only going to give you rough or clean book which is about 3-4 thousand below retail.

Make it easy on yourself. If you're gonna trade,go to the showroom and bend over the bike you want. The dealer will take it from there.
