I found a 2008 Screamin Eagle Road King for sale for $30,000 CDN. Bike has 550 kms (342 miles) on it. All the factory updates have been done, never been dropped or crashed. Is 30K a good price??

 

They were $29,200 US new in 2008. He's asking $27,900 in US dollars so he knocked off $1500. Even though it's low mileage, in my opinion that's still too high for an almost 3 year old bike. I'd offer $24,500 and go from there. In this economy he's not going to get many offers.

 

Not a good price IMHOP.KBB says the bike is worth $25,440!!! Now use that figure to bargin for a better deal!!!

 

$30k is paying absolute top dollar if this were a booming economy, but in this economy it is extremely high.

KBB trade-in value is only about $20K
then there's wholesale $25k ish


If a dealer has it, they probably don't have $20k in it.

 

Thanks for the replies. Makes bargaining a bit easier.

 

He said Canadian dollars, not US

 

Our economy is not hurting too badly, thanks to the gov't (for a change they got something right and retained restrictions) mortgage lenders/banks were not allowed to give away homes to people that could not afford them. In short, we avoided the housing crisis/mortgage scams that had the domino effect on the Southern economy. Non the less, you can do much better than that price.

Check ebay, lots of low mileage bikes available, much less expensive and like new. Feel you can do way better, there are some beautiful bikes with less than 4000 miles on them. Importing is easy, just a little paperwork but simple. Our local prices don't even command those kinds of numbers. Check around, autotrader, Kijiji etc. Good luck.

 

That's what I said it equals $27,900 in US dollars.

 

I love mine but new it was only $29,000, and that included some modifications. Talk the price down. It is a great bike. Comfortable fast ride. I have 34k on it now and it is smooth as silk. Had to have pistons & cylinders replaced at 20k, all covered under warrenty. One bad thing, that HD fixed in 09, is that the left pipe comes out the side not under the engine. If you have long legs no problem.

 

Guy here that has dealers license and selsl late model used just sold a 2008 with 4k miles Not sure what it went for but asking price was 23,900 US
