Default Made a HUGE mistake!
I test rode a 2012 Electra Glide Limited last Sunday

Let's just say my 2006 is up for sale so i can upgrade to the newer bike with the newer frame.

They only wanted to give me 11K trade in so i said I'll sell mine first.

I did the exact same thing when I got my 2012 limited.

If it were me, I would have taken the 11K trade and been done with it.

I think 11k is a pretty fair trade-in for a dealer, now start on the other end and see if they'll come down on price or add ESP, add acc w/o labor, ect..ect..that would make you feel better and be a good deal..good luck...the excitment isn't going to go away...lol...

Yeah I thought that 11k was not bad. I think I would have just done the deal and been home with the new one
