Just bought a new 2008 classic while I was in Daytona last week. I could not believe the deal I got. The economic hard times must have hit Rossmeyers, cause I GOT A DEAL! I have been looking at the kings for a while, so I kinda know what the retail is. I am really excited. Just had to vent.

If it had 0 miles, that is a heck of a deal. I can see Harley coming 1500 off retail in these economic hard times for an 08 or 09 but you really struck a deal if they came down nearly $5000. Congrats, you'll love it! If they are doing that, things may not be looking good at all for ole Harley Davidson.

You have to also remember though that that bike will be 2 years old in 6 months so that is more reason to deal. Once new bikes on the floor get to that point in left over inventory dealers I know have always discounted them deeply. I bought my 2008 RKC in Feb 2008 for $1500 off MSRP even back then and prior to the current economy. They still had a New 2007 in stock then that I could have gotten for $3500 off. Also having an 08 which I love, I believe I'd rather pay the extra and get a 09 which all the changes made as they are some good ones. But it is of course still a great deal. Congrats!

The bike had 22 miles on it when I bought it. Yes, it is an 08. But, I still have alot of the options that are on the 09's. They had an 09 on sale in the front of the store for 16,500. I just thought the 08 was a better value. It is still a new bike I got the full warrenty. Also it was a cash deal with no trade. I don't know if that made a difference or not....I put about 100 miles on it yesterday and it rides like a dream.
