Trade-In I got offered today
#24
My dealer took my name and number and sent people interested in my make and model to me. I sold it and went straight to the dealer and bought a new one. Me, the dealer and the new owner all won.

Stopped by Smokey Mountian Harley today here in Tennessee just to see what they had. So I was looking at a 09 street glide and I got curiuos what they would give me for trade-in on my 08 street glide with 3400 miles on it. The salesman told me give me 13000 for mine man these guys are crazy. Then more less told me he could sell mine for 17000 or 18000 talking about trying to bend me over what do you all think?

I went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago, (Pissed off my local dealer) thread. I was offered $9000 for my 06 RK Custom on a Road Glide. I walked and found a dealer that gave me $13,200 for my RK and I was happy with the deal!! Keep looking they are out there!

did you notice how many scooters they have there. info relayed to me was they are the only dealer in a certain area that is still showing a proffit? they are getting bikes from dealers that can't get rid of them and actually selling them. isn't it ashame these toys aren't worth what we think they are. kbb is 750 over what they offered you. low imho, but they always start that way.

I would think a good salesman would expect a counter proposal from an interested buyer. In other words, if he says $13K there are more options open to both of you other than "take it or leave it," Chance are he isn't going to come up a dramatic amount (if he did he was just lowballing), but I don't think $1,000 or so would be out of the question. I've always heard that the first years devaluation of a new vehicle is always the worst. Good luck.
