..it's always the same...if your sellin...you think it is worth more...if your buying...it's worth less...me personally, if I was you...instead of taking like a $10,000 hit sellin it...why not invest say $3000-$4000 in the motor and make a rip-snortin, 09 and up killin, mean-machine, that you will fall in love with all over again....keep that baby and do it proud...

Been tryin' to sell my mint,flawless '04 carbed Fatty for a couple months now--6K miles;asking $10.5. One taker--guy wanting to take it to Germany offered me $9Gs. I turned it down. Gotta get 10. Bike is too nice, AND it's carbed. They seem to fetch more around here.

Yes. It's not 2005 anymore. There are a glut of Harley's on the market. And the economy sucks.

I paid 10.5K for my '08 FLHTP. 15K miles, 103ci. Don't think I could of been talked into buying an FLHX w/ 96" for 13K.

IMO, some of these prices for an 09 seem pretty high. Street glide is a really nice bike but not as hard to come by as they used to be. Good luck.

That seems really low for around here. You wont find a 2006 street glide for less than 13k. 08's are around 16k or so.

08 was the last of the great Harleys. Keep it and cherish it. I love mine more every day.
