I feel lucky now to have gotten mine at MSRP.....I stopped by a large dealer yesterday in central florida and they were asking $3,000 over MSRP......for the Ultra Limited.....holy cow....

 

Why would anyone pay over list price?

 

Hey anything is worth what someone is willing to pay...
Ya never know, some fat wallet might come in and say, "I'll take it".
I'm sure it happens...

 

I think the days of paying way over MSRP are numbered. People just don't want to pay that anymore.

 

I would never pay over msrp, but like mentioned before, there's always someone that will!

 

A sucker born every minute and two to take him!

 

The sad thing somebody will buy it for that.

 

In 2008 I was in Seacoast HD (NH) looking at a new RK that was priced a few grand over MSRP. They offered $6000 for my trade. (2006 FXCDI) and would not budge on either number. This particular dealer rings a bell every time a sale is made. That damn bell was rung 3 or 4 times in the hour that I was in there. I knew they had me so I left.

A year later at Nashua HD (also NH) I bought a 2009 RK for MSRP plus $8400 for the same 2006 Dyna.

Find a new dealer and have patience. You'll get your price if it is a fair one.

Good Luck

 

I just read th OP again and realized he's not trying to buy the bike in question

Anyways, Good Luck with the new Ultra.

 

dmacx,

Boy, you got a decent deal in Nashua. I can't get them down to MSRP straight up, they want something on top of it. Seacoast is crazy too. I buy at Kelly's.

Bottom line, if any of you thought you could sell your bike for $3k more than it's current "worth", would you?
