Whats it worth?
Hi everyone,
Im thinking about buying the 2006 SE Electra Glide ( green/black ). I love this bike!!
Just for grins, I took my 2000 FLHTCUI into a dealer and was insulted with an 11k trade in offer. It has the Stage II big bore upgrade, enhanced sound system with amplifier, MP3 player, light bar around the bags, chrome oil cooler, Corbin heated seat, and other upgrades. PLUS, the bike only has 3600 miles on it! I knew the dealer would try to rip me, but not rape me.
What is a fair price to sell this bike outright? Im thinking it should bring at least 18 - 19k.
Thank you in advance.
Mike

That's why they call them "stealerships". $18-$19 with all the mods is a good deal for someone. Especially with the low miles. However, you usually don't get what the mods are worth. $11K is a slap in the face. I wouldn't buy a bike from that dealer.

My dealer gave me 8K on a 1992 Ultra with 52k miles..Basic stock engine with mild chrome upgrdes on a 2004 ultra last July...Are our Harleys loosing value that fast now? I think I'd shop around or sell and buy outright somewhere else!

When I bought my 05 EG I was thinking about trading my 00 FLSTC and the dealer offered me 10K... I sold it outright for 14500. Definitely the way to go. I'm happy and the guy that bought the bike got a smokin deal...

RE: Whats it worth?
One of the probs with bikes that have all the options you have is the dealer has to find a buyer that is willing to pay for all that stuff. To me, none of that is the kind of things I would buy (not that there aren't other things I might want) so there is little added value even though you spent a lot to make it what you liked. Kinda like a house with a pool; to many it is a deal killer, not an advantage. I think it very difficult to recover a lot of "bling" dollars when you want to sell.
In any event, good luck selling it and finding what you want.

Tripper is right...I've been told that rule of thumb is this: On a bike that is maintained with some add ons, you expect to get close to MSRP...MSRP the year you bought it.

Add on's don't get you much. Take all your stuff off and put the stock stuff back on, then sell the stuff. You will get the same price on a trade with or without the stuff.
