Default 1.05% on 105th bikes?

Guys,
I was just reading online about the 1.05%/36 monthsfinancing available on all the remaining 105th anniver bikes. Does anyone know about this deal? Are these bikes not selling well and HD has to really has to push these bikes?I know these bikeshave a higher MSRP then the other bikes.I would be interested in a Ultra or a Street Glide.Is this a deal or no deal?

I cannot find the 1.05% you speak of but if true thats a heck ofa deal. Sales are slow right now and I am not sure when sales will pick back up. Certainly spring will attract new customers.But yes HD is doing more advertising right now than ever before. Some deals can be had but still it is a strong brand name so I would not expect there will be much weeling and dealing. If HD had to cut prices like the car dealers by so much of a percentage they would go belly up real fast and find themselves looking for another AMF in this day and time.But now is the time to buy as the next 60 days will be the slowest. If you cannot get any discount on the bikes,shoot for 20% on clothing and parts and accessories and a discount on the extended warranty. All of those are more reasonably discounted than the motorcycle.

The deals on Harleys website and several dealers. For example: http://www.prestigeharleydavidson.com/

I didnt think there were that many of these bikes left in inventory, butit may be worth a look. I wonder why they offer incentives on the Anniv bikes, but not on the the normal bikes. (you would think it would be the other way around).

There may not be that many of them left. Might be a bait and switch to get more would be buyers to showroom floor. Car dealers do it all the time.

Local dealers here have quite a few of the coppertop models on the floor.

I see this is only for 36 months too. When they give that rate for 48 or 60 and extend it to all '08s instead of just the Duracells, then I will know they are hurting.

I know a few dealers that have quite a few anniversary editions. Seems like they thought they were going to sell like the 100th anniversary ones....oops they were wrong.


A 24,000 bike+ addtax and license - 10% down @ 1.05 a month = between 650 and 700 a month. I put a lot more down and will likely pay mine off way early, but still not sure I would take that offer. Economy too unstable for huge payments...

I agree 36 mos. is not alot of time to pay off an HD. I sure don't want a 700/mo bike payment

I hear you but keep in mind you will pay $1000s more for the same bike with a 7.9% 60 monthvs a 1.05% 36 month.Yes the payment will be higher, but it will be way cheaper in the long run.

I ran a loan calculator and show a $20,000 loan at 36 months @ 1.05% running $565 per month. Thats not bad considering the loan is gone after 3 yrs.

Just can't beat that interest rate... (aside from 0%)

Im not crazy about the color but would consider it to get the ABS option.

Not saying it is not a good offer. Just not for me right now....who knows I might have jumped on it if I would have known it was coming, but I would have had to put down over 1/2 the cost of the bike to be comfortable with the payments.

I usually put a large Down payment and accept payments I can afford (my dealer was doing 5.99% for 60). I then pay extra on the payments...e.g. I have a 300 a month payment but I make a $600 a month payment. I pay the bike off loads faster.

I still pay a little more in interest but I have the option of making a much smaller payment if something should happen (they laid off 2500 at my work lately).

I'm in payoff mode this year with any luck I'll have my bike paided down far enough to pay it off early next year. Have some other finances to clean up first.

tizone: You would have to put down over 20% to get to 20K with freight/shipping , tax/license,alarm, and CA (for me at least) on a $23,270 bike (no add-ons).
