Trade in values
I looked at a new 2013 Ultra and a 2014 Ultra. My wife likes both and says to get whichever I prefer. So I got some trade numbers. I have a 2010 FLHTC with 20k on it. They offered $9500. A Buddy of mine has a 2011 and dealers are offering him $11k. I got some figures back in July where I was offered $14k in trade...... Talk about being raped...
Guess I'll stick with my 2010.

I'll give you $9750 and come get it!
I'd say they were maybe needing to sharpen the pencil a little bit. Or at least provide astroglide and a reach around...
And by the way, you could sell it in less than 48hours for 12500-13000 on CL. If you want to get a feeling for the market local and nationwide, do a search on chopper exchange.

That's got to be a tough nut to swallow. I'd wait. But then again, how bad do you want that new scoot in the garage? Always do better selling it yourself. You just have to know that going in.

If you're wanting the '14..... Like others have said - try another dealer, sale on CL, etc....
But, if you're looking at a '13, keep your ride man. You got the new frame, a six speed, and basically the same bike. Use the dough you'd spend on trading on upgrading your bike. Big Bore kit, paint, chrome, etc.
Just my $.02

I'd sell it myself locally on craigs list if you can, you'll make the most off of your 2010 that way. My dealer also will sell bikes on consignmnet. That isn't a bad deal either, especially over the winter as it's in their inventory, usually heated storage.
Good luck.

Every 5 years or so HD has a major production change that brings buyers and trades in droves. Floods them with trades and lowers the value on them. As said, check other dealers, I got 2k more by driving 90 miles when I traded my 04 on an 09.
