Big mistake

well I made the ultimate mistake today , went to one of my local dealers today just killing time and was just looking around and found a 2007 Ultra in Pacific blue with 32000 miles on it and crome all over, custom wheels ,stage 1 kit and slip ons . very nice bike, good trade on my 96 , there asking $15000 on the 07. so are the 07s that much better or should I just keep my 96, HELP

that sounds about right from a dealer,your probly going to get a bunch of opinions.I would not trade in a bike that I have spent a lot of time and money getting it to run the way I have done(a trade would be a downgrade) but 15 years you might be do for a change.If you can swing it go for a new one.

Agree w/bob2002 - get 09 or newer & 15K's a little much for 2007...even w/all the mods.
