Just my opinion, seems ok. I picked up a 07 deluxe with 2000 miles for $12k. Private seller...no dealer. dealers are way more. same bike at the stealership was 13,500

Seems like a pretty fair price to me from a stealer, go for it!

I've generally found the location of the dealership would affect the cost. There is a big difference between 13,500 in New York and in Idaho. So where is the bike?

The bike is out in Arkansas. I have looked on cycle trader and couldn't really find anything on there that matched the mileage/price/add-ons.

Looks like I'm getting a softail this afternoon!
