Went up to my local dealer here in So. Cal. for lunch with the wife yesterday. After lunch we went in to LOOK at the new models, they had an 09 Ultra Classic in Black Pearl calling me. Talked to the salesman that sold me my 04 this past april. They offered to take mine in trade for the same amount I paid for it. It is very tempting. The wife is kind of on the fence about a new bike. I am going to have to think about this for a few days.

 

All I can say is I'm looking for so forward to the Spring, Summer, & Fall riding season here in Missouri with my new Ultra. Haven't got to play on it much, except in the garage, but I think, no I know I am going to like this bike. Wife hasn't rode behind me much, but I think that is about to change with the Ultra.

 

No depreciation? I never heard of such a thing. Were it me I would do the deal before they changed their mind.

 

09s are really nice and the fewest complaints on new models I've heard in about 5 years.

 

Ditto! Take that and run!

 

I agree , get that deal FAST...

 

Sometimes the woman know some thing we dont, in this case she might be right. Just because its newer doesnt make it better. YOUR CALL

 

Id go for it.
Can't and wont take the money with you. Cheaper than drugs in many ways.
Screw the kids. Spend the money. You worked your entire life.
Take advantage now. Life is really, really short.

 

oops, I read it wrong, thought they were giving you the new 04 trade in pricing , not the 04 one you bought last year price..nevermind, I retract my statement...

 

Me too, sorry about that. Now it *does* become more of a decision.
