Default Lost my job, gotta sell '03 EGlide, how much??

Lost my job and need to sell the 2003 Electra Glide. 11K miles, Sundowner seat, detachable tour pak, passenger backrest, adjustable passenger pegs are a few of the add ons. New rear tire, front and rear brakes at 10K service. Needs nothing. A few scratches on one of the bag lids. Local dealer will give me 12K for it. So it must be worth around 13K, is what I'm thinking. Whats your opinion?

Sorry to hear about the job lose. If there is no way to hold onto the bike, I would post it for sale on EBAY. Put your reserve at about 12K-13K and see what happens. I have sold 2 bikes on ebay and got over my reserve each time. Good luck.....

Yeah I agree. I got 12500 for my 03 ultra on trade and it was the anniversay color scheme and all blinged out. Of course as they say, that is money you never get back.

If he'll give you 12k for it without you even buying a bike I agree with "robbie52". If he does give you 12 he's probably not going to ask 13 - try at least 14 but that's why he's in business. My .02$.

Where are you located? One of the capt's here at my job is looking to pay cash for a used dresser (wants batwing and tourpak) and was wanting to pay $12-13k and wanted low mileage in that ballpark. We have an 06 at the dealership with 18k miles and he was "sighing" about the miles.
