Yeah, definitely shop around. Plenty of dealerships in Texas.
Btw, when I bought my previous bike (Super Glide Custom), as we were getting down to the short strokes, the dealer offered me a $500 gift card to sweeten the deal. I looked at him for a moment, and asked: "Can I just apply that to the purchase price?". He looked at me for a second, and said "Sure".
Done!

maybe that seems a lot because i put more down on my 48. I perfer to have a lower payment with a longer loan and make a larger payment. However i did get the hardcandy paint for the price$ of the standard black..but the $750 gift card is cool. i wouldn't apply the $750 to the price. $750 dollars in a drop of water in the bucket compared to the bikes total price......id use the gift card for services work/parts if you go with Harley parts. unless you plan on doing your parts installs and services yourself, which everyone will recommend. the 1000 miles "service" in cali where i am was over $900. I had handle bars and a brake line install at the time of the service. such a joke. Also my extended warrenty as proven to be a big joke as well.

$14,500 is a lot for a Sportster. That's a Dyna price point. Remember there are plenty of new 48s out there, so be prepared to walk away from this one. I would start by asking them to knock off TTL (tax, title, license) from the out-the-door price. Go from there. Call other dealers, tell them what you're looking for, what this dealer's offering, and play them against each other. Don't be afraid to drive a hundred miles to a place that offers you a good deal.

quick and dirty:
250*60= $15000
what can you do with that? 4.9%? credit unions at 1.99% or less. slow down.

When I first started looking for a bike I went right to the dealer looking for a new one, I couldn't bring myself around to paying nearly 29k for a new bike. I ended up finding a super low mile ultra classic for half of what the new ones were going for.
Look on cycle trader and you'll find a like new forty eight for a ton less than new and you'll have money left over for mods.
