Default Quick Question..is this a good deal?

First of all I have enjoyed reading through these forums...
have a quick question ...

here's the deal...

2003 Ultra Classic with 50,000 miles...good condition...the dealer wants $15,295 for it and will give me retail for my trade (Yamaha). am concerned about the high mileage...what do you think???

thanks for any input....

Dennis

Welcome to the forums!

I would look around some more if it were me. That's a bit steep for an '03 with 50k miles.

Do you owe anything for your Yamaha? If you do, it seems he/she is tacking it on the Ultra...........if you don't owe anything on your scoot......keep shopping.

Still alot of money for a bike with 50K miles, I've seen bikes in that price range have from 10K to 25K miles on the odo.
