Default Trading for '08

I am thinking about trading my '07 roadglide for an '08 streetglide. Has anyone traded a late model bike in at their dealership? Wonder how much they usually allow? My bike is mostly stock and in excellent condition with about 4k on the meter.

Only one way to find out $$$$. Wise move trading up to a Street Glide.

Trading 07 Deluxe(my 1st bike) for 08 Street Glide. Losing about $1500.00, not counting accessories. Ihad about $3000.00 in it,so close to $4500.00 give or take. I back and forth with descision, but went wtih it after the wifey gave me th go ahead. Good luck! Actually she encouragedme ,so it was easy.

I did it and my dealer gave me 92% of the purchase price of my 07 back toward the 08.

Don't get me wrong, I love the RG, just thinking the SG might be nice to try.
