I got my 2009 XL1200C for $350 under MSRP + HD freight last October. No doc fee, no setup fee. I was happy given that I live in a small market, and the next nearest dealer is an 80 mile drive.

 

I travel a lot and I searched the internet when i was interested in buying an 08 Sportster on the buy Back Program. Last year this time there were only a couple 08 new sportsters left and they were knocking off up to $1500 OTD. Bought mine rode it through september and traded it for full MSRP (more then I paid) on my EGC which was $1500 OTD off. I have seen dealerships around the country with as much as $2000 off full list OTD on Dynas and up. Values of up to $1500 on stortsters and up. I tried to work a deal with one dealer on a similarly equipped EGC before I bought the one I have... who would'nt deal. They still have it I checked today. said they couldn't come down. Don't know for a fact but I am guessing the dealer is authorized to purchase new 10's based on sales in 09. if they have a large stock of 09's and even some 08s i suspect they are limited in what they can get. I was looking hard this time last year and I can tell you to a certainty in my travels there are a lot of 09's out there still. way more then last year. New 2011s are 6 months away. If they won;t deal in your area find who will and whip me beat me let me fly to a dealer and ride a new HD home. The deals are out there. good luck in your quest.

 

Makes me wonder what model the deals are made on. Since I am only shopping baggers, I really don't notice the others too much. Admire them, appreciate there design, but don't really price them. I did notice two Softails marked down at the dealer however since they don't "shake" Momma doesn't want one of those.

I don't argue because we have such long open stretches out here I want hers to have 6 speed AND cruise.

 

Was in Las Vegas HD last week. They had an '09 Road King (two-tone, white/pearl) with the smooth chrome wheels for $16.200. They also had a Heritage and a Deluxe marked down. I think the Heritage had a price tag originally around $22k and was marked at $18k. I don't remember what the Deluxe was marked at, but I'm guessing it $3k or more below what they normally mark them.

Remember, though, that LVHD notoriously markes all their bikes from $1500 to $2000 above MSRP ... so a bike marked down $3500 is really only $1500 below MSRP. Still a decent deal, if you're looking for that sort of thing.

 

I got an 09 road king in December for $2700 off MSRP.

 

Just to help put things in perspective, the guy that bought my '03 ultra new paid $22,000 for it in nov. 2002. I have the sales slip. So $23, 500 for a '09 or '10 isn't that bad a deal in my opinion. Your getting a bigger motor , 6 speed trans and all the updates since mine was built in 2002, plus it's 8 years newer.,,

 

I got $3k off on my 09 Muscle that I bought 2 days before Xmas. The original deal was $3k in accessories, but I floated them the idea not caring if they would take it because I was happy with my 07 VRSCAW that if they would turn accessories into a discount I would be interested. Took them about 5 minutes to think that one over.

 

$9100 +TTL+fees (~$9800 OTD)

 

Did anyone ever tell you that you look a little like Mr. Bill?

 

True enough about using other banks and such, but you have no idea what percentage are paying +/- $500 of MSRP. This is pure speculation. As far as being full of it. Tell that to the people who have replied to this thread stating they have gotten bikes a good bit below MSRP.
