During the year end ( December) and winter months does HD ever offer a low interest rate on new ( 2018 model ) purchases as car manufacturers do ?

 

As a "premium" brand, Harley typically hasn't offered "end of year" incentives. In today's market, who knows?

 

Probably not going to see incentives on the 18's as the MOCO is still trying to unload leftover 16's and 17's. When I bought mine last December HDFS offered 2.99% at 60 months. That was the best rate I found, even beat my credit union.

Check with your local credit union and then let the dealer try to beat the rate. Just don't tell them up front what your rate is

 

Maybe on last year's tshirts...

 

Marked down to 39.99 from 40

 

One way to find out, contact your local dealer and ask them, simple. Next question.

 

ALWAYS this...

 

... AND after they stop laughing you can ask them something else..

 

Couple dealers in my area are offering NADA retail for your trade on Touring bikes.
One is on '17s and another is '17's & '18s

 

They will do dearer incentives and sometimes a lowere interest rate but normally on stuff that's 1 or 2 years old or sportsters. Best things are credit unions and and if it's a common bike to shop around but to save 300 bucks off price I would rather shop local since money has better chance of going into local economy and local workers. Used bikes seem to be the ticket right now if your looking for a tc you can still by warrantee if need be. But with the 900-2000 grand you send on warrentees you can by a lot of tools and service manuals your interested in that stuff. And if a dealer might offer you 300 less somewhere else but you have to look at all the number and rates that dealer may be sticking it to you somewhere else. But couple year old tcs are a bargain right now. I am hoping in next for years I can find me a nice priced switchback to run another 15 years before shopping again. Now it's easier Ron again for parts and labor the way harleybused tonhave it setup. Also saying your looking for a jacket or a different seat see what they have as a takeoff over possible nos stuff that may be comped. But before you buy somewhere that's shows you a bike selling for less make sure that your not walking out of there paying more than you would locally overall. To me a good local sales and shop are worth 300 easily. Another secret thing is to let them know you'll finance through them for 4 months before refinancing through a credit union if the fees are correct. It's all a numbers game except harley used too really frown on moneyboff the bikes because it devalues them all. But then again having a couple of million sitting in garages getting swapped around for half the selling price a few years later with no miles already does this. They may do it differently now with the new m8 and maybe come out with limited edition bikes 4 times a year and keep production numbers down with the layoff they've been doing. But that's all forecasting something that may not happen.
