can't compare those year and models to now..the old ones at that price had 107s and RDRS was a $1000 option as well as other things..then the Specials were upwards of $30K + so these 24s are the Goldilocks 'value' model now..it was smart of them to do away with multiple model options and just have the one now..these probably are, and will sell like hotcakes I suspect

 

It all comes down to simple supply and demand.

 

 

I guess I don't see them as "Goldilocks value" when they charge an extra $850 for paint, $1,350, for trim and $850 for freight and whatever else on top of the msrp. I know this I won't pay a dime over msrp If I get one.

 

yep all those add ons are total BS. Now that we know people are getting them for 26k OTD that’s the price. I would t pay more than that knowing what I know now. Just write it down on a sticky note with name and number and eventually you’ll get a call.

 

none of those charges are something new, and I got mine OTD for under MSRP..experience and shrewd business sense is all one needs

 

Yep. Exactly. $26,500 OTD is the number I'll pay. Not a dime more! It's a buyers market incoming. Next year will probably even better. I might wait for a 2025. We'll see.

 

And you bought a whiskey fire with black trim, and a day tripper?

Interesting, And this dealer has additional fees they want to haggle over, I think this is going to be a battle.

edit: I walked at $28. But it’s still early and this dealer is open on Sunday.

 

Yes, Whiskey Fire and Black with the day tripper. $26,500.34, they ate the $0.34. This was over $4000 off from 2 days ago, only stipulation was it had to be bought and paid for before they closed today. Other dealers didn't seem to be very hungry, this place called me and said they were willing to drop their drawers for a sale. I don't disagree that Harley is gouging people, but I wasn't going to be one of them. The end of the month appears to be a great time to buy, last day or two? I haven't bought a Harley in over 20 years, so I'm not sure what it's been like in many years. I know in 2000, you paid whatever they wanted and waited for quite a while to get it.

 

A lot changes in a quarter century
