Default Harley rentals

Has anyone bought one?
My broinlaw and I were at a dealer last week just looking around.The dealer had several '06 rentals for sale.The prices seemed pretty high,maybe 1 to 1.5K off the new prices.
There was one Road Glide.The hard bags were scratched/scuffed and the tank had a scratch.
We thought they were way over priced and probably had the **** beat out of them.

Like the old sayings go:

1. No Curb too High no Ditch too Deep, This RENTALBikewe will not KEEP!

2. Q. Whats the difference between a Rental and a 4x4?
A. The Rental will go Anywhere..

I wouldn't want one especially with only 1-2k reduced. Have you ever driven a rental car nicely?

I bought an 04 Road King "fly and ride" rental in 05. Different from normal rentals.Had a detachable tour pack and windshield. Paid about 6k off MSRP.Had 18k miles, now has 34k. No problems. Sold it for about 1k less that I paid. Thought it was a good overall deal.
