If i was spending that much at my local dealer and buying a new bike then i would get 20% off all the extra's and for the first month or more and i would get a $500 gift card from them.
That is what my dad got on his and were still getting the 20% a year later. just saying if i was throwing down that kind of money on a bike and extra's they can sure do 20% and probably throw in something free like a jacket or helmet ect or id be going to another dealer thats my thoughts.
The bike is bad enough but if your going to hand them another $9,000 in parts and extra's they better be willing to work with you.

Never indicate up front if your paying cash or financing! Make the deal, THEN tell them how you're going to pay. And never talk trade-in until the deal is final.

They could really care less that you're paying with cash. In fact, if your credit score was high enough to nowadays qualify for their financing they'd actually have much more incentive to really deal (because they'd be screwing you at that end). Cash just isn't much of an incentive, and has identical pull with the dealer to financing with your own credit union or bank...either way, they're seeing cash at transaction. Cash ain't king at a MOCO dealership, for sure.
Very good idea.

Get 20% off minimum on the accessories. Have you shopped your deal around? As in bottomline OTD with all extras, etc? Who's installing the extras? BTW, H-D corporate isn't offering anything worthwhile, other than some extra trade cash for a non H-D bike.

These guys are right.I was trying to buy a used car for my daughter and thought that dangling a cash sale would mean a better price WRONG.I was told they make their money financing.Cut a good deal with a seller made sure I could pay off any time with no penility ,bought it then payed it off the next month.

been there but the only thing i bought was lunch.
#1 in sales can be misleading. they have the largest stock of bikes and are pretty much a landmark around this area...selling the most could simply mean they have the most to sell, not that they're willing to deal.
again, never bought anything but a burger there.

Mike's Famous really don't budge on numbers... They had me walk because they wouldn't move the price of an 09' XL1200N another $300.00. So I went to barb's HD in Collingswood and bought that exact same model at the price I needed it with ZERO problems.

Everytime The dealer says "What about or How about" or tries to add anything that you don't specify.Say NO. Period. It's your cash. Period

Krusty's right, get the credit and the add ons, they think we just made all this extra cash on the interest, so they will throw in more. Just ask for it, all they can say is no? then when you get your first bill pay it off in full and enjoy the moment.
Find out who here has dealt with any of the dealers there in your area to see who will deal and spend your money there. Sounds like your in for a really fun day.

Never tell them your paying cash. They make money on finance often more than on the bike. So you will make your best deal allowing them to think they will finance it then when paper work is done have them remove the finance and hand over the money.
Second why do all the mods day? If you buy your ride, change what must be changed so it fits you and do the rest over time you are always renewing the ride and intrest in it.
