every dealership no matter what they are selling would rather not put the tags on their item, thats so they will have an excuse to start talking to potential customers and after seeing some of the posts on this site Harley will be making millions for years to come off the gullible

there are no prices listed so you can't walk without talking to someone


and true enough if you don't know, they love your kind of consumer

It's becoming more and more frequent at all auto dealers. I know when I was looking for a new car if the car was used 90% of the time there was no tag on it. Even some new cars were like this. I just walk away.

Too many dealers got spoiled by the years where demand far outpaced supply of Harley-Davidsons, and they could, for all practical purposes, set their own prices. They got used to being "order takers", not "salesmen", and forgot how to "deal".

Too many dealers still think it's 2007.

My dealer is hit or miss with tags but he's usually at MSRP plus shipping and prep. He is high on used but can be talked down.

I work at Bruce Rossmeyer's HD in Sunrise FL. We generally don't hang price tags on the bike because we do test rides and they just get in the way. We are an MSRP dealer that never charges over. We price our used bikes on the floor that are ready to sell. The ones that have not been through service are not priced as we do not know how much we own them for.

Bottom line... if you are looking for an awesome deal on a Harley. Try giving me a call. We have No dealer fees. I'll get you the most for your trade too. Don't believe me?? Give me a call and see what magic I can do for you. My cell is 630-532-8227

It's to force a sales call.... Anythings negotiable and like stated above you better know your prices or you will pay way too much.... Being Floridians are about status you really don't care as long as you look cool...

So the only negotiable part is the trade value? Are you offering an in store credit as well?

There ain't NO WAY you would EVER offer me enough for Bertha. but, you're welcome to take a shot...........
