These are not rare bikes that will sell for a premium after all.

OK, got it. That's what I thought since the beginning. Getting a good deal on an 2009 in summer when the 2010 models are out is pretty common and I would certainly expect to get $2,000 off list. That 10% of the price of an Ultra, so no biggie. I don't know anyone who would accept to pay list price for a bike that will be 1 year old as soon as it exits the dealership. Do you?
Now getting this kind of deal NOW is what I was talking about and thanks for confirming that ain't gonna happen. Looks like the offer I got 2 weeks ago for a 2009 at $1,000 off MSRP with no freight and no prep ain't bad.

Take it easy,

This is not a dilemma, it's a no brainer. Take the AAFES advantage then you will be Jonesing every day to get back stateside to that beautiful Harley that is waiting for you.

I did get a reply from a somewhat local dealer. Although AAFES is hard to beat discount for discount (MSRP). I told them if they combine a discount off the MSRP and some other "Bennies" like throwing in a service or extended warranty, dropping the frieght and prep then we could deal.

We'll see.........

Damn, that's the way to do it. You have enough on your plate just getting through deployment and back home safe. Keep your head down over there...and thanks for your patriotism and willingness to serve.
