I paid $3700.00 Canadian for my 2005 sporty in excellent condition.

Looks like around $3,500, Price probably depends on supply and demand in your location. I sold an original 1980 XLH1000 Ironhead with around 8,000 miles in excellent condition for $3,500 where you probably can't find another one like it....took awhile to sell.

 

They're a dime a dozen on Craigslist in NJ so you'll want to take a look there to see what the going rate is if you need a fast sale. But also make sure you market it properly.....883 not an 880 and what's a bike dover? Not breaking your chops but if someone seems like they don't know what they have it makes me leery.

Especially when I see those sweet shovelheads on the cheap (actually an ironhead)

 

The "880" is a special de-stroked edition. It acts exactly like an 883 though...

And, the OP has the coveted Harley bike dover!

 

 

The market has been saturated for a while now. If you try and squeeze every dime you can out of the bike it will never sell. If you price it middle of the road it may take months to sell. Your best bet is to search Craigslist for bikes of a similar age and milage and price accordingly. If you want it gone today, be a few hundred cheaper than the next guy. Your add ons add nothing to value, be realistic, I get thinking your bike is special (to you) and you want all you can get. But a sporty is a sporty and their cheap. Not in a bad way, their a fine reliable ride. I loved mine. Its just reality. Around here you would be lucky to get more than 2500 without having to wait months and stroke the buyers ego.

 

It's all about your LOCAL market. If you were in Texas it wouldn't move you very far. $2k - $2.5K max.

 

Unfortunately, as you're now learning, (and I got bit as well when I sold my 883), an 883 Sportster depreciates faster than any other Harley besides a Street. Which has a value life of a banana.

I'm afraid you're looking at $2,500-ish. Tops. Especially in the dead of winter.
