Default Deal or No deal?

I have been in talks with about 10 dealers about a 2008 Black street glide with all options. The best price I found was MSRP+tax, no set up or delivery fees. I thought that was fair. Today the sales manager calls and offers NADA retail value for my sportster trade (not dealer trade in value) if I buy in March. I get to keep and sell all extrasoff the sportster. Deal or no deal?

Thanks.

Where I live the msrp+tax no setup or freight would be as good as it would get. They won't give a penny above trade in value for a bike. I would have to say go for it.

A good deal is when you & the seller/buyer are both happy. The dealer is obviously happy with the deal he offered you, are you? If so, it's a good deal...............

Hi W I just bought an 08 RK to be delivered 3/25 The best deal I could

get was MSRP + frgt and sales tax. I did get free delivery and 1000 mile

oil change thrown in. It looks like a good deal to me, I am not up on trade

in values. The main thing, if you are happy with the deal and trust the dealer.

Get the bike, a few extra dollars are nothing compared to being happy.

Good luck, I hope it works out good for you.
