Wow! Go watch some football and come back to all these friendly welcomes! Thanks! I'll take you up on that Mod, thanks. Two semi-surprises in the playoffs today. I thought both road teams would win, but I guess that's why they play the game!
You need to shop around, the deals seem to vary on a dailey basis, I looked alll over the front range b4 I bought my ultra, I ended up buying at wild west in greeley (Ryan) I gave 18K for a lightly used 08 ultra (not scratch, 2 tone paint, ABS, security and they lowered it front and back)
Decide whats important to you, Be straight up with the sales people, Tell them what you are after, check the web, and have more than one option open right up until you sign on the line, Bikes are a impulse buy, if you are noncomittal "this bike is nice but freedom HD has it in dayglo orange with the after burners" Or ask to not pay for options you dont want, Kinda a buyers market right now, I got some flex on new bikes also.. just not as much.
Lastly I dont take my checkbook when Im first looking, it removes the temptation to lay down $$$ when you see what you want, keep looking, narrow it down to 2 choices and tell them to give you the best price "out the door", Dont tell them what the other dealership has offered. While I reallly wanted to give my business to my local dealer, he simply couldnt match the deal from the other dealership.
Hope this helps...
Colorado is a great place to ride once you get past the snow season even then we have our good winter days, I took mine out for a shakedown (denver to ft morgan to nebraska to cheyenne and back to denver) friday temps never dropped below high thirties.
