Trade value?
Looking to trade my 07 FXST for a new 09 Street Glide or Electra Glide Standard and am wondering if the 12G they offered over the phone for my bike will be negotiable when I go to the dealership? I have never traded at a Harley shop so I would appreciate any input you might have. If they give me more for mine do they just jack the price of the new bike like car dealers? The black 07 FXST has the chrome wheel upgrade and security with 13000 miles, the back tire is 1/3 gone, front tire is new, installed the screaming eagle air cleaner and re mapped. This bike is clean with only one scratch on the rear fender. According to NADA blue book the resale value is $13,500. Thank you for any advice you might have.

The $13,500 resale value is what the dealer should be selling that bike for. With that in mind I would think $12,000 trade in would be a fair price. Like leohd stated, if you trade in you won't have to pay taxes on trade in value.

kelley blue book lists your trade value as $9860, so if the dealer is giving you 12k and not raping you on the new bike, i would go for it.

Have not talked to dealer about the price of the new bike but from what I've read the EGS no options are selling for 17,000 or right at MSRP. The S Glides are going for a little higher than MSRP in this area. You guys are really getting my blood pumping. Hope to make it to a couple of dealers on Tuesday. Thanks for the help.
