Hey everyone...due to finances, I will be selling my 2016 Road Glide Ultra. Was kind of hoping you guys could steer me in the right direction of pricing it. It has 12,200 miles, V&H headers, CFR mufflers, 12" Wild Ones bars, Corbin seat that has been customized to sit you down and back almost 2 inches in each direction, new rear tire and in excellent condition. Bike also has a PCV, HD intake and S&S 551 cams. I still owe on it so title is not in hand. What would you suggest I list it for? I have looked online and haven't seen a whole lot out there yet used for sale. Thanks for your help.

 

I don't know if it helps, but this is Black Book Power Sports:
Year:2016
Make:Harley-Davidson
Model:FLTRU Road Glide Ultra
Model Type:Cruiser
Displacement:1690
Cylinders:2
Finance Advance:$22,030
MSRP:$25,699
Avg Retail:$24,835
Auction Wholesale$21,030
Clean Trade:$20,245
Fair Trade:$18,345

 

So if I were to list it in the $23,000 range I would be in the ballpark

 

That seems like a fair price to me. Remember you can start high and go low, so don't low ball yourself.
​​​​​​You should list the mods, and how much they cost.

 

Being that your in NJ and winter is about to roll in, salt on the road, I think it might be Spring before you might start getting any interest...just my guess

 

That's what I'm afraid of

 

look again at those numbers-

a cash buyer will want to pay MUCH less than those numbers for what is a used bike.

someone trying to finance will have trouble getting financing for a private party vs a dealer owned bike.

a dealer will get more but in essence they offer more- expertise, reputation and in some areas a legal obligation to ensure condition.

looking at my local numbers ( AZ, where riding season is restarting after the hot summer) it'd be around $20,500.

then the challenge is finding a person who wants it, can afford it and has the money.

You are also up against having a now-obsoleted model motor.

I think abyone with 23k will have an extra few grand for a 2017 ( starting at 26,300)

if you have time on your side, start high and see what happens....but too high and a long running ad will be overlooked- essentially buyers are turned off by a seller who they think may be unrealistic

Thanks Mike

 

If you're wrench capable, and have the take off parts, I'd replace all the stock stuff you can and sell your upgrades separately. If your potential buyer is getting a loan, your extras won't figure in to their estimated value. Your Corbin seat for example is worth $0 to the bankers.

 

I wrote a longer post but it seemed mean and too negative, im sorry.

"So if I were to list it in the $23,000 range I would be in the ballpark"

honestly, to get the interest of someone who can buy new at a major discount (for a leftover 2016) you are gonna have to go below $20K, maybe lower and actually probably leave ON the extras in the hope to attract the attention of someone.

not having title in hand stinks too, work on a plan for that it will scare off a lot of cash buyers.

you should keep it.
