I'm hoping someone here can give me a little more insight on the prices of the '09 Softail Deluxe? I'm from the Sportster crowd but I'm shopping for my second bike (I'm keeping the Sportster) and I need some input on what it should cost.

Well here's the numbers... I got a quote today and for the 2009 Softail Deluxe with nothing else on it...it comes to $20,400 out the door with the two-tone paint. That seems about $2000 too high to me? What would you pay for one?

The financing is EITHER 4.49% OR 0/0/0 for 6 months with 6.99%. I can qualify for either. The 0/0/0 is a better deal for me though. The extra 1.5% won't be much since I'd plan on paying it off in about 2.5 years. Payments would be about $405 a month.

What's a good price for a new 2009 Deluxe? Thanks!

 

Here's a two links with OTD prices for 2009 Deluxes. A solid black and a two tone:

should be around 18,4 with two tone paint......No options...

 

The Harley site lists the 2009 Deluxe, with 2 tone paint, for $18,104 plus $330 for freight.
That brings it to $18,434. Our local dealer has been discounting $1,000 off the 2009 models for months now. So I should be able to buy one here for $17,434 plus 7% sales tax, for a grand total of $18,654,38.
In todays market, you should be able to get them to drop their setup charge and throw in the 1,000 mile service for free, plus 20% off accessories, that you buy, for the first 6 months or more.
It is definitely a buyer's market.

Here is a link to the MSRP of the 2009 Softail Deluxe

Deluxe MSRP

 

This is about exactly what they quoted me. But in todays economy, I can't see paying MSRP for the bike?

I think it should be right around what Ranger56528 and Tmichellof PG are saying. That was my original expectation. $2000 off the price they quoted me and I'd buy it today. I think I'll get a few more quotes and if nobody comes close, I'll just tell them what I want to pay and see if anyone bites. I'm hoping that in today's market, they need a sale and will drop to my expectations?

"Out the door" price here in California includes:
Unit $17,995.00
Freight $699.00
Tax $1453.04
Waste Tire Fee $3.50
Doc Fees $55.00
License fees $194.00

For a total of $20,399.54. I think it should be $2K less. I'd buy it today if it was $2K less. Got any suggestions?

 

I think some of those cost are negoitable especially the Freight. Here is a dealer not to far from me offering No Sales Tax on In Stock 2009's. Not sure if there are dealers everywhere offering these type of deals but keep looking.

A lot of dealers pad the price by adding a set up fee, of what ever amount they think they can get away with. Your price list doesn't show a setup fee, so I assume they added it to the freight charge. The cost for freight per the HD site is $330, so I would ask them where they came up with the $699 freight charge.
You can't do anything about the tax,license and I guess the doc. fee, if that is a normal fee.
Living in California, you must have several dealerships within an hours drive. I would start at the closest one, sit down with the salesman and tell him you will pay $18,400, out the door price, for a new Deluxe, 2 tone.
Let them know that price includes everything, license, doc fees, taxes,etc.
Write the year,model,paint colors, your name and telephone number on a piece of paper. Be polite and let them do all the talking, when they get done telling you that your price is too low, thank them for their time and ask them to give you a ring, if they change their mind. I doubt if you run out of dealerships, before you get your new Deluxe.
Good luck,
Tom

 

i JUST PAID 17449 FOR A BLACK ONE WITH THE WHEEL PACKAGE AND THEY GAVE ME A GOOD NUMBER ON MY SPORTY i BELEIVE i WAS 17449-7000TRADE=10449+TAX=872=11,321O UT THE DOOR.

 

Where'd you get it?

tmitchellof PG: Thanks! That's what I was thinking of doing too. I bought my Sporty by just calling each one and telling them exactly what I wanted and getting the best price. Never met with a salesman in person until the bike was all ready. I signed the papers and was gone. But man...once you decide you want/need a new bike...it's PAINFUL trying to find the best deal and just get it!
