Default Just Arrived

I am shopping for a 2010 Fatboy Lo. I left a Valk. in Wisconsin with my son. I just told a dealer, I now live in Jacksonville, Florida--that I had the hots for the Lo. He had one on the floor. And didn't seem to want to sell it. He first quoted it (MSRP) at well over 17K. I did take a tour of the used bikes. He also told me the Lo had a premium on it, above the MSRP. I told him I have cash. Yet I can't get him off paying an (maybe) out-the-door of $20,000. I have looked forward to this for a long time, and I don't want to get hosed. The threads here have already been a great help, the veterans speak in no uncertain terms. I pass the big HD dealership on 95 (@Daytona) regularly because my daughter and grandkids are in Orlando. My son-in-law knows a sales guy at the dealership there. I will note my progress as I shop for a bike.
