The scratched one....the one that kind of fit....and the brand new one!

 

Just speculation but I would think with the release of the "standard" Breakout (non-CVO) that a lot of riders would opted for the much less expensive version of the two. I mean, if I can get most everything that I want (tires, wheels, handlebars, fenders, tank, etc.) for 8 or 9 grand less, then I'm definately going with the FXSB. Sure the CVO Breakout is great, but I'll save a ton of cash going with the standard. Thus, I think some of those CVO Breakout may be sitting on the showroom floors for a while longer (because the less expensive model is now available).

 

I bought my rocker brand new when the economy was bad...brought in five grand in hundreds and fifths to assist in the negotiation...LOL. I put on the desk right in front of the sales rep to torture them...I paid $16,650 plus the doc fee...I usually refuse to pay carp like that, should be in your price...but they ate both the shipping and setup, which went down hard for them...LOL. every time they said they could not due something, I would pick up the money to go...they would not let the money go out the door...LOL. good luck, May the force be with you. Ps last business day of the year and a leftover they want off the books...best time to negotiate with cash.

 

I offered MSRP out the door ($26,499) to 2 local dealers. Neither actually had the bike in stock but had shipping dates.

One said flat out NO. The other came back with your typical ad-on charges. Freight, setup, license & registration. Came to about $1800 over MSRP. Salesman said that was the best he could do over the phone, but if I came in there may be some wiggle room.

Another dealer told me his CVO Breakout order that was supposed to show up in the next 10 days had been cancelled by the MoCo.

 

There's a silver/Slate CVO in Winston Salem, NC. But their stock on the non-CVO's is steadily getting bigger.

 

When I lived in the Midwest ("tornado alley") I bought a new Harley from a dealership that also sold other brands of bikes. There was no "freight, set-up/dealer prep, or any other add ons". I got a great price, paid about $12.00 for doc fees (to get the title over in my name) and was out the door. I did have to go by the DMV to get my own tags/registration (which turned out to be fairly cheap after all). If your state, where you are registering the bike, collects taxes, you would pay them at the time you got your tags.
This dealership has been around for a long, long time and stays in business year after year without charging dealer prep and shipping crap.

So as I see it, other dealers that try to charge those fees are just getting 100% profit added to the deal. (JMO)

Every North Texas Dealer I bargained with on the Breakout would not back down from charging freight and setup fees although they would talk slight discount. The bikes are simply selling too well....

 

I highly doubt that. Hell,any CVO around here doesn't sit on the showroom floor.
