My dad is in the market for a used bike. Done some shopping and the road king is pretty much his perfect bike. We've seen some for $10,000 with 30-40k miles. One in particular is a 100th anniversary with the black and silver paint and 40,000 miles at the local dealer. The bike is gorgeous, no flaws in the paint and has typical light mods (exhaust, backrest, grips etc.) Big concern is the miles. How are the road kings after 40k?
keep looking, Bud just sold his 03 r/k 8 k miles, for 10,500 with 5k in chrome, a bunch of anniversary medallions on it, his was the deep maroon color though, condition, about a 9 of 10.

Friend bought the same bike 2 years ago for 10k. It had 39,000 miles plus baker 6 speed and gear driven cams...
I think that is a bit high for that bike. I would offer less or keep looking. Course this is the wrong time of the year for a great deal...
That said if you get a better deal I wouldn't worry about the mileage

Paid 7500 for. 97 with 31k and more chrome than I wood ever buy.
A lot depends on what you are willing to do. At 34 k I had to react the clutch plates.
Only 150 in parts and the compression tool.
Bought last spring. Into riding season.

You can find a good deal in jersey. Picked up my 06 street glide with 20k on the clock for $10k. You just have to look. As far as financing, go put $5.00 in a credit union and finance through them. My local one offers 1.99% on used bikes.

You need to widen you horizon regarding how far to travel, I would look anything up to 1000 miles for the right bike, riding home is a great way to get to know your new bike 
When I brought my RK, I brought private in 2010, it was a 07 with 10K and paid $11,500 for it. I am in the UK and the bike was in Savannah, so distance is not really an excuse if the deal is right, after picking it up I rode it 350 miles down to Tampa (where I keep it) smiling all the way
