Default Just bought a new Ultra!
Been riding an 05 Road King Classic since....well...05. Been contemplating a new Ultra for a few months. With all the changes for 09, I couldn't resist the temptation anymore. I worked out a deal for an 09 Ultra in dark pearl blue for $23,400 out the door. I had my 05 RKC listed for sale for $13,000, thinking I would only be able to get $11,000 or $12.000 on trade in. To my surprise the dealer gave me $13,000. Another surprise, I financed the difference between my trade and down payment through Harley at 6.9%.

I pick the new bike up next Saturday. I'm very pleased with the deal. No back and forth crap. Told the guy what I was willing to pay, told him what I wanted for my trade, done deal. The dealer was El Cajon Harley, ask for the sales manager, Jeff Perkins. Real good folks to deal with.

Rick

Congrats on the new Ultra. Sure you'll love it. Always nice to have a no b.s. transaction. One both parties are willing to work with.
