If what they offered is above KBB, then it seems fair to me??? My dealer offered me $500 above KBB on my Fat Boy when I traded it in on my Road King last year. I snatched it right up.

 

They are doing you a favor. 14K is still like new. Keep on riding your motorcycle and don't give it another thought.

 

traded my 11 in when I bought the 14 The 11 is still sitting at the dealer 3months

 

Where do I go to get the last 10 minutes back? LOL

 

You probably should have taken the deal. Your bike is soon to be 6 years old and no one wants one.

 

Try and sell it outright if you still want to go new. Mid season may not be the best time though. The dealer has a profit they want to make on it so you're always going to take a hit. 13k for trade in is right in line with Kelly Blue Book (just as a reference), so they probably aren't too far off. The sales manager at my dealer told me "I'm going to pay more than I want to, and you're going to get less than you want". Something came out of a salesman's mouth that I actually believe. If anything make them do some serious wiggling on the price of the '14 with the 15's coming shortly. If they don't want to play nice you still have a great bike to ride when you walk out.

 

All part of the big picture. My local dealer is a "small" volume harley dealer - used are just as important to his bottom line as new. But, will negotiate on trade value easier than on MSRP

 

Pay to play.

 

It's not just you. Today, I've noticed quite a few others have double posts.

 

This is just another reason not to buy a rushmore!!!
