More Harley Dealers Marking Up New Bikes Over MSRP
#11
I bought a new bike 3 weeks ago. Went to 3 dealers. All of them were happy to remove the surcharge and let me pay MSRP. The dealer I bought from even threw in $1k in parts to win my business over the other two. I highly doubt many dealers are going to let you walk over the surcharge. The demand isn't as high as they'd have you think. They're clearly able to still make money without the surcharge, and even under MSRP.

I just bought a 2021 CVO Limited from a dealer here in Florida who originally wanted 6k over msrp for $200 under msrp. They also put on a set of 12" bars, a cb, and a few other swap overs as part of the deal and gave me a great trade in on my bike. Anyone who is paying over msrp for a CVO or any Harley really needs to do there homework and shop around and NOT do it. You will find dealers that will sell at or slightly below msrp.

What I find hard to believe is people can't get a deal at MSRP or lower. Negotiate better.

MSRP yes. Lower than MSRP? Bwahaha! This is Harley we;re talking about. If you got your bike for less than MSRP in a time when supply is low and demand is high I want to see it. Unless maybe you're talking about the FXDR or Livewire or some other bike like that with little to no demand.

And this wasn't a bike they had no demand for. I had to take the next one they had coming in, which was a month wait.

I paid MSRP and tax, and they threw in $950 in parts. I call that under MSRP. Call it what you want. I'm not making some wild claim lol. Many people are getting MSRP, and lower. Call Kevin at Kingwood Harley Davidson, or Mark, the sales manager. Let them know Chris is making some insane wild claims about the deal on his 2021 Street Bob, and that you are calling to set the record straight. Let me know how it goes. Your proof is a phone call away 🙄
You paid MSRP. Those throw in deals are much easier for them to make happen and on the books you didn't pay under MSRP.
I'm sure the area has a lot to do with pricing as I hinted at earlier.

I'm not going to call someone to prove or disprove what some random on the internet said! Haha! I take your word for it. If you really wanted to lie about a deal on the internet you aren't fooling me. You'd be fooling yourself.

I could care less what those parts cost them, how they do their books. They would have cost me $950 and that's how much under I paid under MSRP. Anyways the whole point was I laughed at their surcharge, they never mentioned it again and I didn't pay it. If you think you have to pay the surcharge, you're a bad negotiator or you need to go to a different dealer. The surcharge is for idiots who won't speak up or walk out. Simple as that.
