Best CA. RKC pricing???
Newbie here.....I've FINALLY decided to buck up and buy me a Road King Classic. I've made maybe a dozen calls in the So. Cal. area, and prices are all over the map. The best I've gotten is MSRP plus all the shipping and and standard stuff, but with a $600 prep fee. With tax (7.25%) the total comes out to right at $20,500 with the security system. They offered 10% off acc. and thats about it. I'de sure like to do better, but it's not looking good. Some dealers I call give me prices in the 21500-24000 range. I tell 'em how high they are, and get a laugh and a rude response back. Most don't seem to give a crap. I WILL say that the dealership with the lowest price has also been very nice about everything, so if I don't find better, I'll be going there.
Anybody have any luck doing any better?

Got my '05 RK Classic from L.A. HD 2 weeks ago. MSRP + approx $500 that was it. Very easy to work with. No Games. They are located in South Gate, CA. Off of 105 Fwy. Approx 15 minutes east of downtown L.A.

RE: Best CA. RKC pricing???
So how much was your total price....tax and all??
The bike I'm looking at at -
Bike- silver pearl--$17645
Security------------$275
Ca. emission------$100
Freight-------------$270
total----------------$18290 + tax =$19616.03.......that's what I'de REALLY like to pay. I can understand a small doc. fee and such, but it should STILL be less than $20,000 IMO, not the $20,500 that is the LOWEST price I've found.

In basic color (vivid black), stock with security system it would have been $20,100 out the door. (I just called them to confirm that pricing). I had a bunch of stuff added but from my research at the time the 10% discount on adders is about average for So. Cal. Good luck and let me know what happens. P.S. I love my RKC. Couldn't be happier.

That was the absolute best I could find. Like you I put up with a lot of dealers with lots of junk fees tacked on. Can't say they are the absolute cheapest but they were the lowest I came across after a lot of calls and visits. Also my price was based on 8.25% sales tax for LA County resident. If your local tax rate is cheaper your price will be lower also of course.

Chris,
I got my RKC at San Diego Harley Davidson in early February. Here's the deal I got:
Smokey gold and vivid black two-tone paint-$17,895
HD factory security system- 275
California emissions- 100
Freight- 270
Sales tax at 7.75%- 1440
License fee- 172
Documentation fees- 45
That comes out to $20,152.
They also had a $610 set-up fee. I told them I would pay $21,000, but I wanted the sundowner touring seat, detachable driver backrest and detachable passenger backrest included for that price. Total for these accessories plus tax is $825 plus the two hours they say it takes to install it all comes to just shy of $1000. We settled on $21,150. That covered the cost of my accessories and killed the $610 set-up fee.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rick
