Wanted an Ultra (I thought) until I rode it-- too doggy... wife hated it (shock)
went back today to the dealer--- this time he throws me a helmet and rolls out a 2009 Street Glide--- Sunglow Red--- Screaming Eagle breather and slip-ons w/SERT download--- sissy bar/backrest installed--- laced wheels (not sure if it had ABS -probably not)
took it for a ride--- much better than the Ultra--- told the sales guy the only thing I need to change is the slip-ons (maybe Rineharts)
he disappears with the finance guy-- calls me in to his office--
finance guy tells me $27,500.00 with extended warranty!!
I choked out an involuntary "WTF!" - I didn't realize it was a CVO I told them--- they look at each other and say, "It's not"---
so sales guy is hemmin and hawin--- cuz it has this and that----- I started to get pissed--- told them both they weren't even CLOSE-
Within 30 seconds finance guy tells me $23,000 out the door, no extended warranty--
good deal or not??? (remember, it is an '09- and CA sales tax
- and they have about 6-7 '09's left)

just PMO... 23k for a 09 is too much... 20.100 is better but not by much..

I agree when you trade in your old bike they deduct from msrp but when they put on the accesories the jack up the price if they have 9 left how about 2010 model for the same price to high just my thought

Go back and look at the Ultra again-- You should be able to get it for 21K out the door-- it's going to be a little doggy until you get 4 to 5000 miles on it . Then the engine will loosen up and the gas milage will improve

I would have them trow in the accessories and pay msrp. You should be able to get out of there for less than $21,000. This is a game and you can win as long as you are willing to walk.

23k is too much for an '09 especially when the '10 are here now. 19,500 (with Warranty) or get the Ultra.
