Gut check before pulling trigger on new SG
Hi everyone,
I have been squirreling my pennies away and am the closest I've been to purchasing a new ride. I know there are a ton of "what's a good price threads" but I need one more gut check before I go all in.
I am looking at an Ember Red Street Glide with ABS/ security. Nothing additional "to start." I've visited a number of dealers in my area and further out...the best deal I have found is $2k off MSRP.
This feels like a good deal given everything I have read about HD pricing, the model/ color and the fact that it's been downright fantastic weather and bike sales are picking up.
The wifey gave me the green light so my question...hold out and take my chances or is $2k that good a deal to pass up?
Hopefully, I will have some good news to report in a week or so.
Thanks for the input!

Yeah ! Thats sounds like very decent deal to me. Try push'in you luck a bit bit and see if you can get something that you would like to get in the future included. Ya never know unless you ask nice.
Try to hit them up for 5,000 mile service or something like that..Good Luck and enjoy.

That's about close to my stealer and you might be able to talk them into a low cost accessory or two. It just really depends on how bad they want to sale you a bike as to what they might throw in. Also some sort of incentive on your part might help out as well. I always get my own financing and that shows them your serious. Salesman are snakes in the grass and won't fool with you it they don't think your really going to buy.

Thanks for the replies!
I've been in and out of the dealer in question a few times. I would prefer to keep the business local too, but am willing to venture out for a deal.
So after he came back with the $2k off tag price I asked for the first service. "No." I went to an accessory credit..."No." I haven't asked for the T-shirt yet!
In all seriousness, I've had some of the larger dealers around the Phila. area tell me to bug off. Most won't give me the time of day without driving 2+ hours each way to see them.
And, the bike I want is not in stock so he'd have to order it, so all in all, I am feeling like it's a good deal.
Now I need someone to tell me that it's ok to drop $20k on a bike with a 2 yr. old at home!
