Default How much for trade in?

How much could I expect for a trade in of my "08" UC for the "09" UC. I have SERT Rinehart true duals and not much else. 8000 miles.

Dealers will usually only offer you WHOLESALE.... you'd get more with a private sale

You will take it in the shorts! I just got home from looking at trading my HEAVILY customized&nbsp\\; ($42k invested) 2008 RG for a 2009 Screamin Eagle Ultra and they offered me $23k for it. Damn near half of what I paid mostly at their freakin stealership!!!

+1 on that, too many times, I have been told by the stealership this is worth that much, and this is worth that, in retail. They completely over look it when it is time to trade.
