Just Tried to Buy a 2010 Street Glide
I walked into East Coast HD (North VA) with a pre-approved check from my bank and my 2007 RK Custom in tow. We haggled over the Custom's trade in from $10K to $11K.
They would not come down of MSRP, also they would not offer anything off on the accessories. So I walked out.
The delaer is full of new 2010s and 2009s, but they don't want to deal. Things must be going very good to pass up a sure sell.
Oh well, I'll try Patriot HD tomorrow.

Good luck with the purchase and dont get hung up on thinking u need to get the same deal as some people on here who talk about practically getting the bike for free. Its is very different region by region. I have about 5 dealers within my typical commute and the only difference in price was a few willing to work on the f&s fee's. Ended up just buying from the dealer that had the all around best staff. When I bought my second bike from them a few months later, they were more willing to negotiate.

I bought my present bike at Patriot HD, so maybe Ill do better there. At least Patriot gives you 10% on the accessories when you buy.
It just dosen't seem like anyone is on a hurry to sell a bike these days.

The discount is not the issue, its the attitude. Sales are way down and they are still acting like it is 1992!

I agree with you wholeheartedly on that one. I can't tell you how many dealerships I've walked into when looking for my bikes only to not have a salesperson even look at me a second time (Ukes in Kenosha being one of them). The good part about that is, that's one *or two or three or four) good commissions those idiots missed out on!!!
